Modifying van der Waals Materials via Cavity Vacuum Fluctuations

In the field of cavity quantum materials, vacuum fluctuations of optical cavities are used for modifying ground-state properties of quantum materials without external driving.

In the field of cavity quantum materials, vacuum fluctuations of optical cavities are used for modifying ground-state properties of quantum materials without external driving. Here, one example is the van der Waals (vdW)/dispersion interaction in layered 2D vdW materials, where…
