Laser control of solids was so far mainly discussed in the context of strong classical nonlinear light-matter coupling in a pump-probe framework. Here we propose a quantum-electrodynamical setting to address the coupling of a low-dimensional quantum material to quantized electromagnetic fields in quantum cavities. Using a protoypical model system describing FeSe/SrTiO$_3$ with electron-phonon long-range forward scattering, we study how the formation of phonon polaritons at the 2D interface of the material modifies effective couplings and superconducting properties in a Migdal-Eliashberg simulation. We find that through highly polarizable dipolar phonons, large cavity-enhanced electron-phonon couplings are possible but superconductivity is not enhanced for the forward-scattering pairing mechanism due to the interplay between coupling enhancement and mode softening. An analysis of critical temperature dependencies on couplings and mode frequencies suggests that that cavity-enhanced superconductivity is possible for more conventional short-range pairing mechanisms. Our results demonstrate that quantum cavities enable the engineering of fundamental couplings in solids paving the way to unprecedented control of material properties.

We investigate the interplay of the electron-phonon and the spin fluctuation interaction for the superconducting state of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$. The spin fluctuations are described within the nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi liquid theory, whereas the p
honons are treated using a shell model calculation of all phonon branches. The electron-phonon coupling is calculated using rigidly displaced ionic potentials screened by a background dielectric constant $epsilon_infty$ and by holes within the CuO$_2$ planes. Taking into account both interactions we get a superconducting state with $d_{x^2-y^2}$-symmetry, whose origin are antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. The investigation of all phonon modes of the system shows that the phononic contribution to the d-wave pairing interaction is attractive. This is a necessary prerequisite for a positive isotope effect. The size of the isotope exponent depends strongly on the relative strength of the electron-phonon and spin fluctuation coupling. Due to the strong electronic correlations no phononic induced superconducting state, which is always of s-wave character, is possible.
Phonon measurements in the A15-type superconductors were complicated in the past because of the unavailability of large single crystals for inelastic neutron scattering, e.g., in the case of Nb$_3$Sn, or unfavorable neutron scattering properties in t
he case of V$_3$Si. Hence, only few studies of the lattice dynamical properties with momentum resolved methods were published, in particular below the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$. Here, we overcome these problems by employing inelastic x-ray scattering and report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of lattice dynamics in V$_3$Si with the focus on the temperature-dependent properties of low-energy acoustic phonon modes in several high-symmetry directions. We paid particular attention to the evolution of the soft phonon mode of the structural phase transition observed in our sample at $T_s=18.9,rm{K}$, i.e., just above the measured superconducting phase transition at $T_c=16.8,rm{K}$. Theoretically, we predict lattice dynamics including electron-phonon coupling based on density-functional-perturbation theory and discuss the relevance of the soft phonon mode with regard to the value of $T_c$. Furthermore, we explain superconductivityinduced anomalies in the lineshape of several acoustic phonon modes using a model proposed by Allen et al., [Phys. Rev. B 56, 5552 (1997)].
We present a detailed study on the influence of strong electron-phonon coupling to the photoemission spectra of lead. Representing the strong-coupling regime of superconductivity, the spectra of lead show characteristic features that demonstrate the
correspondence of physical properties in the normal and the superconducting state, as predicted by the Eliashberg theory. These features appear on an energy scale of a few meV and are accessible for photoemission only by using modern spectrometers with high resolution in energy and angle.
Interface charge transfer and electron-phonon coupling have been suggested to play a crucial role in the recently discovered high-temperature superconductivity of single unit-cell FeSe films on SrTiO3. However, their origin remains elusive. Here, usi
ng ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and element-sensitive X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), we identify the strengthened Ti-O bond that contributes to the interface enhanced electron-phonon coupling and unveil the band bending at the FeSe/SrTiO3 interface that leads to the charge transfer from SrTiO3 to FeSe films. We also observe band renormalization that accompanies the onset of superconductivity. Our results not only provide valuable insights into the mechanism of the interface-enhanced superconductivity, but also point out a promising route towards designing novel superconductors in heterostructures with band-bending induced charge transfer and interfacial enhanced electron-phonon coupling.
We report first principles calculations of the electronic structure, phonon dispersions and electron phonon coupling of LaNiPO. These calculations show that this material can be explained as a conventional electron phonon superconductor in contrast to the FeAs based high temperature superconductors.
