Statistical modeling is an essential tool to decipher the function of cellular interactions from massive amounts of transcriptomic data. However, most available approaches can only capture the existence of cell interconnections, failing to reveal how cells communicate with each other in (bi)directional, signed, and weighted manners. Widely used ligand–receptor signaling analysis can discern pairwise or dyadic cell–cell interactions, but it has little power to characterize the rock–paper–scissors cycle of interdependence among a large number of interacting cells. Here, we introduce an emerging statistical physics<span> theory, derived from the interdisciplinary cross-pollination of ecosystem theory, allometric scaling law, evolutionary game theory, predator–prey theory, and graph theory. This new theory, coined quasi-dynamic game-graph theory (qdGGT), is formulated as generalized Lotka–Volterra predator–prey equations, allowing cell–cell crosstalk networks across any level of organizational space to be inferred from any type of genomic data with any dimension. qdGGT can visualize and interrogate how genes reciprocally telegraph signals among cells from different biogeographical locations and how this process orchestrates tumor processes. We demonstrate the application of qdGGT to identify genes that drive intercellular cooperation or competition and chart mechanistic cell–cell interaction networks that mediate the tumor–microenvironment crosstalk.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":404,"journal":{"name":"Physics Reports","volume":"1029 ","pages":"Pages 1-51"},"PeriodicalIF":30.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3461033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the most fundamental level, such interactions are described by quantum electrodynamics (QED), a well-established theory that has stood up to decades of experimental testing to remarkable degrees of precision. However, the complexity of real systems almost always means that the quantum electrodynamical equations describing a given scenario are often infeasible or impractical to solve. Thus, a sequence of approximations and idealisations are made, in order to build up from the simple case of an isolated electron interacting with a gauge field leading to the deceptively simple laws governing reflection and refraction at mirrors and lenses. This review provides a pedagogical overview of this journey, concentrating on cases where external boundary conditions can be used as a control method. Beginning from the fundamental Lagrangian, topics include gauge freedom, perturbative macroscopic QED descriptions of spontaneous decay, Casimir–Polder forces, resonant energy transfer, interatomic Coulombic decay, all of which are described in terms of the dyadic Green’s tensor that solves the Helmholtz equation. We discuss in detail how to calculate this tensor in practical situations before outlining new techniques in the design and optimisation of perturbative light–matter interactions, highlighting some recent advances in free-form, unconstrained inverse design of optical devices. Finally, an outlook towards the frontiers in the interaction of quantum light with matter is given, including its interface with chemical reactivity via polaritonic chemistry and quantum chemistry via quantum electrodynamical density functional theory (QEDFT).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":404,"journal":{"name":"Physics Reports","volume":"1026 ","pages":"Pages 1-63"},"PeriodicalIF":30.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3405285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
