Cavity induced and influenced phases of matter — •Christian J. Eckhardt^{1, 2}, Giacomo Passetti², Marios Michael¹, Frank Schlawin¹, Dante M. Kennes^{2, 1}, and Michael A.

An optical cavity may be used to influence or induce phases of matter. We discuss how a charge-density wave phase in a 1-dimensional chain of spinless fermions is enhanced through the coupling to the quantized photon field. At the critical point between the Luttinger liquid and the charge-density wave, we find strong light-matter entanglement. Additionally, we ask in what ways photons can be used as pairing glue for superconductivity (SC). We show that a fingerprint feature of such cavity-induced SC is the pickup of a k-dependence of the gap in the electronic spectrum on the Fermi-surface.
