"The geometry of the environment defines a photon’s interaction with matter, bringing complexity to its radiative behavior, from the Casimir force between an atom and a surface, or the enhanced fluorescence of a molecule by a nanoparticle, to the tapestry of colors scattered by stained glass. Lately, quantum emitters (QEs), such as atoms, fluorescent molecules, and quantum dots, have been coupled to ever more geometrically complex photonic devices, such as optical microcavities, nanobeams, plasmonic nanostructures, and hybrid nanophotonic devices.
In conclusion, we present a general theory that gives a complete and exact description for the quantum electrodynamics of a QE strongly interacting with a radiating photonic device."

Does this mean they can detect photons by what they can't see? Like Jazz? Interplay?
