Strong Light-Matter Workshop

Antoine Georges, Ph.D.Director, Center for Computational Quantum Physics, Flatiron Institute
This workshop will bring a select group of experimentalist and theoreticians together to address the open questions and new challenges raised by the prospect of embedding materials and molecules in high finesse optical cavities: how can strong light-matter coupling change energy landscapes and chemical reactivities, drive the creation of new topological states of matter or control and reveal new non-equilibrium physics and what new nonequilibrium tools can/should we develop or improve to address this new scientific challenges.
Open to CCQ members and, due to space limitations, to others by invitation only
