Sumario:Electrons in crystals interact closely with quantized lattice degree of freedom, determining fundamental electrodynamic behaviors and versatile correlated functionalities. However, the strength of the electron–phonon interaction is so far determined as an intrinsic value of a given material, restricting the development of potential electronic and phononic applications employing the tunable coupling strength. Here, it is demonstrated that the electron–phonon coupling in SrRuO(3) can be largely controlled by multiple intuitive tuning knobs available in synthetic crystals. The coupling strength of quasi‐2D SrRuO(3) is enhanced by ≈300‐fold compared with that of bulk SrRuO(3). This enormous enhancement is attributed to the non‐local nature of the electron–phonon coupling within the well‐defined synthetic atomic network, which becomes dominant in the limit of the 2D electronic state. These results provide valuable opportunities for engineering the electron–phonon coupling, leading to a deeper understanding of the strongly coupled charge and lattice dynamics in quantum materials.
