A typical example of such the quantum field is the dressed photon (DP) that creates by the interaction among photons, electrons, and phonons in a nano-particle. This field is complementary to the on-shell quantum field (photons in a macroscopic space). Off-Shell Applications in Nanophotonics: Dressed Photon Science and Technology reviews the experimental/theoretical studies and shows the route that should be taken to establish off-shell science in the future. A variety of phenomena originate from the DP, and phenomena analogous to them have been found among physical, chemical, and biolog.
