The emergent field of cavity quantum materials bridges collective many-body phenomena in solid state platforms with strong light–matter coupling in cavity quantum electrodynamics. This brief review provides an overview of the state of the art of cavity platforms and highlights recent theoretical proposals and first experimental demonstrations of cavity control of collective phenomena in quantum materials. This encompasses light–matter coupling between electrons and cavity modes, cavity…

Effective theory of lattice electrons strongly coupled to quantum electromagnetic fields
Recent experiments have revealed the tantalizing possibility of fabricating lattice electronic systems strongly coupled to quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic fields, e.g., by means of geometry…
Cavity engineering of Hubbard U via phonon polaritons
Pump-probe experiments have suggested the possibility to control electronic correlations by driving infrared-active (IR-active) phonons with resonant midinfrared laser pulses. In this work we study…
A New Era of Quantum Materials Mastery and Quantum Simulators In and Out of Equilibrium
We provide a perspective on the burgeoning field of controlling quantum materials at will and its potential for quantum simulations in and out equilibrium. After briefly outlining a selection of key…
Collective theory for an interacting solid in a single-mode cavity
We investigate the control of interacting matter through strong coupling to a single electromagnetic mode, such as the photon mode in a Fabry-Perot or split-ring cavity. For this purpose, we analyze…
Controlling topological phases of matter with quantum light
Controlling the topological properties of quantum matter is a major goal of condensed matter physics. A major effort in this direction has been devoted to using classical light in the form of Floquet…

The coherent interaction of a large collection of molecules with a common photonic mode results in strong light-matter coupling, a feature that proved highly beneficial for chemistry and termed the…

Superradiant Quantum Materials.
TLDR
This work shows that a phase characterized by the simultaneous condensation of excitons and photon superradiance can be realized, hence stabilizing and intertwining two collective phenomena which are rather elusive in the absence of this cooperative effect.
Cavity-induced quantum spin liquids
TLDR
This work proposes to engineer frustration by exploiting the coupling of quantum magnets to the quantized light of an optical cavity to robustly stabilize spin liquid states.
Manipulating quantum materials with quantum light
We show that the macroscopic magnetic and electronic properties of strongly correlated electron systems can be manipulated by coupling them to a cavity mode. As a paradigmatic example we consider the…
Cooperative Quantum Phenomena in Light-Matter Platforms
Quantum cooperativity is evident in light-matter platforms where quantum emitter ensembles are interfaced with confined optical modes and are coupled via the ubiquitous electromagnetic quantum…
Cavity quantum-electrodynamical polaritonically enhanced electron-phonon coupling and its influence on superconductivity
TLDR
It is found that through highly polarizable dipolar phonons, large cavity-enhanced electron-phonon couplings are possible, but superconductivity is not enhanced for the forward-scattering pairing mechanism due to the interplay between coupling enhancement and mode softening.
Rashba Cavity QED: A Route Towards the Superradiant Quantum Phase Transition.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the lowest polaritonic frequency of the full Hamiltonian can vanish for realistic parameters, achieving the Dicke superradiant quantum phase transition.
The ferroelectric photo ground state of SrTiO3: Cavity materials engineering
TLDR
It is demonstrated, from atomistic calculations, that cavity quantum vacuum fluctuations induce a change in the collective phase of SrTiO3 in the strong light–matter coupling regime, which has thus far only been achieved in out-of-equilibrium strongly excited conditions.
Cavity quantum electrodynamics of strongly correlated electron systems: A no-go theorem for photon condensation
In spite of decades of work it has remained unclear whether or not superradiant quantum phases, referred to here as photon condensates, can occur in equilibrium. In this Letter, we first show that…

Abstract In this article, we review strong light-matter coupling at the interface of materials science, quantum chemistry, and quantum photonics. The control of light and heat at thermodynamic limits…
Manipulating matter by strong coupling to vacuum fields
TLDR
The remarkable and still somewhat mysterious implications of this “strong-coupling” regime, with manifestations ranging from enhanced charge transport to site-selective chemical reactivity across a range of molecular and solid-state materials, are reviewed.
