Strong light-matter coupling for band electrons

ORAL

Abstract

Hybridizing light and matter degrees of freedom by means of cavities can be used to control quantum materials. In the case of band electrons, we show that quantum fluctuations play a pivotal role for such light-matter hybridization. We discuss the potential of different platforms such as Fabry-Perot cavities and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) to control material properties.
