Workshop on Materials in Quantum Cavities and Excitonic Insulators
- Organized by

Antoine Georges, Ph.D.Director, Center for Computational Quantum Physics, Flatiron Institute -
Andrew Millis, Ph.D.CCQ Co-Director, Flatiron Institute -

Angel Rubio, Ph.D.Co-Director, Initiative for Computational Catalysis, Flatiron Institute
This workshop will bring together a select group of experimentalists and theorists to address 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 non-equilibrium tools can/should we develop or improve to address these new scientific challenges?
