Quantum light-matter systems at strong coupling are notoriously challenging to analyze due to the need to include states with many excitations in every coupled mode. We propose a nonperturbative approach to analyze light-matter correlations…
Strong light-matter coupling provides a promising path for the control of quantum matter where the latter is routinely described from first-principles. However, combining the quantized nature of light with this ab initio tool set is…
In this work, we detail different approaches to treat multi-mode photonic environments within non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics in the long-wavelength approximation efficiently. Specifically we show that for equilibrium properties of…
Cavity-mediated light-matter coupling can dramatically alter opto-electronic and physico-chemical properties of a molecule. Ab initio theoretical predictions of these systems need to combine non-perturbative, many-body electronic structure…
When light and matter interact strongly, the resulting hybrid system inherits properties from both constituents, allowing one to modify material behavior by engineering the surrounding electromagnetic environment. This concept underlies the…
The interaction between the electromagnetic field inside a cavity and natural or artificial atoms has played a crucial role in developing our understanding of light-matter interaction, and is central to various quantum technologies.…
In this work, we provide an overview of how well-established concepts in the fields of quantum chemistry and material sciences have to be adapted when the quantum nature of light becomes important in correlated matter-photon problems.…
Collective light-matter interactions have been used to control chemistry and energy transfer, yet accessible approaches that combine ab initio methodology with large many-body quantum optical systems are missing due to the fast increase in…
The ability to achieve ultra-strong coupling between light and matter promises to bring about new means to control material properties, new concepts for manipulating light at the atomic scale, and fundamentally new insights into quantum…
The interaction of light and matter at the single-photon level is of central importance in various fields of physics, including, e.g., condensed matter physics, astronomy, quantum optics, and quantum information. Amplification of such…
Intermolecular bonds are weak compared to covalent bonds, but they are strong enough to influence the properties of large molecular systems. In this work, we investigate how strong light-matter coupling inside an optical cavity can modify…
In this review we present the theoretical foundations and first principles frameworks to describe quantum matter within quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the low-energy regime. Having a rigorous and fully quantized description of interacting…
We perform extensive simulations of the two-dimensional cavity-coupled electron gas in a modulating potential as a minimal model for cavity quantum materials. These simulations are enabled by a newly developed quantum-electrodynamical (QED)…
We propose a novel general approximation to transform and simplify the description of a complex fully-quantized system describing the interacting light and matter. The method has some similarities to the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer…
Understanding physical properties of quantum emitters strongly interacting with quantized electromagnetic modes is one of the primary goals in the emergent field of waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED). When the light-matter coupling…
A reduced-density-matrix (RDM)-based approach to {\em ab initio} cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) is developed. The expectation value of the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian is expressed in terms of one- and two-body electronic and photonic…
Multimode cavity-QED systems can be leveraged to explore a wide range of physical phenomena; however, a complex multimode environment makes systematic characterization of light-matter interactions challenging. Here we present a general…
We derive the full linear-response theory for non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics in the long wavelength limit, show quantum modifications of the well-known Maxwell's equation in matter and provide a practical framework to solve the…
The manipulation of low-energy matter properties such as superconductivity, ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity via cavity quantum electrodynamics engineering has been suggested as a way to enhance these many-body collective phenomena. In…
Light-matter interfaces have now entered a new stage marked by the ability to engineer quantum correlated states under driven-dissipative conditions. To propel this new generation of experiments, we are confronted with the need to model…
