The research in Physics at the University of Wolverhampton covers broad areas around the physics of light-matter coupling. In particular, we collectively study the behaviours of compound object that are part-light, part-matter (known as "polaritons"). I will give a short overview of what this field is about at the Research level. My own area of study concerns quantum systems of different sorts, with as a common theme, how those systems can be designed to emit quantum light, with only a few "photons" (the ultimate light constituents), useful for future fancy applications such as the quantum computer. I will overview some of the ways I figured out to obtain streams of single photons or of bunches of any number of them, or with striking quantum properties such as entanglement. I will also discuss ongoing projects we have in mind regarding outreach and public engagement where students participation would be most welcome.
