<p><b>Description:</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In this colloquium, we will give an overview of the emerging field of quantum fluids of light: in the presence of a finite effective mass due to light confinement and binary interactions mediated by the optical nonlinearity of the material medium, an assembly
of photons behaves as a fluid of particles and displays intriguing hydrodynamic phenomena. <br>
<br>
After reviewing early work on Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity in such systems, I will sketch some among the most exciting recent developments at the crossroad of many-body physics, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, and quantum optics. <br>
<br>
The new features of topological lasing, aka non-equilibrium condensation into a topological edge mode, are capturing the interest of a wide community spanning across fundamental and applied research, from a remarkable topological protection of long-distance
phase-locking to fabrication disorder to Kardar-Parisi-Zhang features in the emission coherence. <br>
<br>
Strong efforts are presently devoted to the realization of strongly quantum correlated phases of photonic matter in a novel non-equilibrium context. After presenting recent realizations of Mott insulator and baby fractional quantum Hall fluids, I will sketch
the new perspectives that these advances are opening for many-body physics and quantum technologies in general.<o:p></o:p></p>
