The development of a quantitative and predictive theory of quantum light-matter interactions in ultrathin materials is both a conceptual and computational challenge. Here, the authors develop such a framework by combining density functional theory with macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, and use it to quantify the Purcell effect in van der Waals heterostructures.
