Description
In this talk I will review the state-of-the-art of the theory and experiments aiming at the stabilization and the manipulation of strongly correlated fluids of light. A special attention will be paid to Mott insulator and fractional quantum Hall states, for which pioneering experiments have appeared. Perspectives towards the observation of novel many-body effects in these systems will be outlined, such as non-equilibrium Goldstone modes, fractional statistics, and entangled states of collective excitations.
