“In the ultrastrong-coupling regime, light and matter are intertwined and become mixed concepts,” explains Cirio. In this strong-interaction case, the lowest energy state of a system consisting of a single atom in a cavity contains excitations in the atom ‘intertwined’ with virtual photons, which can exist only within the cavity. And just like conventional photons, these virtual photons will exert a force on the cavity mirrors as they bounce off them.
