Scientists, philosophers, and young children alike have always been fascinated by optical phenomena. Why is the sky blue? Where do rainbows come from? At the root of all optical phenomena is the interaction of light and matter-the source of dynamics in nature. The fundamentals of light-matter interaction have been clarified by classical electromagnetism and quantum electrodynamics (QED), which are believed to explain all electromagnetic phenomena. James Clerk Maxwell introduced a transformational light-matter theory in the 1850s that described light in the form of electromagnetic radiation, just like radio waves and X-rays. One hundred and fifty years later, his theory and "Maxwell's equations" have been utilized as the de facto standard in modern communication technology based on transmitters and receivers, for mobile telephones, television and radio. Remarkably, these advances have taken place essentially within a regime where the interactions between radiation and matter are "invariant". Yet there is more.

科学家、哲学家和小孩子都对光学现象着迷。为什么天空是蓝色的？彩虹是从哪里来的？所有光学现象的根源都是光与物质的相互作用——这是自然界动力学的源泉。经典电磁学和量子电动力学（QED）已经阐明了光物质相互作用的基本原理，它们被认为可以解释所有的电磁现象。詹姆斯·克拉克·麦克斯韦在19世纪50年代提出了一种转换光物质理论，该理论以电磁辐射的形式描述光，就像无线电波和x射线一样。150年后，他的理论和“麦克斯韦方程组”已被用作基于发射器和接收器的现代通信技术的事实上的标准，用于移动电话，电视和广播。值得注意的是，这些进步基本上是在辐射和物质之间的相互作用“不变”的情况下发生的。然而，还有更多。
