Reviewed in: "Quantum electrodynamics in a piece of rock" by John MacGreevy (UCSD) in Nature Reviews Physics (2019) "Gauge theories, such as quantum electrodynamics, are a cornerstone of high-energy particle physics. They may also describe the physics of certain unassuming materials. Recent theoretical work moves this idea closer to reality."
