The alchemical dream of altering a given material on demand into something desirable is at the very heart of chemistry. Optical-Cavity environments provide a novel handle to non-intrusively control materials and chemistry. The self-consistent interaction between complex electromagnetic environments and realistic materials gave birth to a new discipline, sometimes referred to as ’ab initio QED’, on the interface of condensed matter, chemistry and quantum optics.
I will provide a brief introduction into this newly emerged field and illustrate its application that gives rise to the control of chemical reactions [1] and intermolecular interactions.
