Metasurfaces allow light manipulation and control, from the point of view of planar optics or polarization control, or non-linear light extraction. Their properties rely on the existence of resonant basic elements which are responsible for strongly confined electromagnetic surface modes. We aim at using these modes in order to enhance light-matter interaction. We consider a metasurface in which quantum system are embedded. We study the hybrid excitation between light and matter by using an effective field theory.
