Controlling Collective Phenomena via the Quantum State of Interaction Mediators: Changing the Criticality of Photon-Mediated Superconductivity via Fock States of Light

How are two-body scattering and the resulting collective phenomena affected by preparing the mediator of interactions in different quantum states? This question has recently become experimentally relevant in a specific nonrelativistic version of QED implemented within materials, where standard techn...
