Description
One of the most well known relativistic field theory models
is the Thirring model (TM). We propose a quantum system
as a simulator of the TM dynamics. Here the relativistic
particles are mimicked by polarized photons in a quantum
nonlinear medium. We show that the entire set of regimes
of the Thirring model -- bosonic or fermionic, and massless
or massive -- can be faithfully reproduced using coherent
light trapping techniques. The sought after correlations'
scalings can be extracted by simple probing of the
coherence functions
of the light using standard optical techniques.
