BACKGROUND One of the most important phenomena in cavity quantum electrodynamics
(cQED) is the so-called strong coupling regime, which appears when the interaction …

Plasmonic photocatalysis is a promising approach for solar energy transformation.
Comparing with isolated metal nanoparticles, the plasmonic coupling architectures can …

This Perspective discusses oriented external-electric-fields (OEEF), and other electric-field
types, as “smart reagents”, which enable in principle control over wide-ranging aspects of …

This is a tutorial-style introduction to the field of molecular polaritons. We describe the basic
physical principles and consequences of strong light–matter coupling common to molecular …

Here, we report the catalytic effect of vibrational strong coupling (VSC) on the solvolysis of
para‐nitrophenyl acetate (PNPA), which increases the reaction rate by an order of …

Polariton chemistry has emerged as an appealing branch of synthetic chemistry that
promises mode selectivity and a cleaner approach to kinetic control. Of particular interest are …

We present an ab initio correlated approach to study molecules that interact strongly with
quantum fields in an optical cavity. Quantum electrodynamics coupled cluster theory …

The electromagnetic field in an optical cavity can dramatically modify and even control
chemical reactivity via vibrational strong coupling (VSC). Since the typical vibration and …

Experiments at the interface of quantum optics and chemistry have revealed that strong
coupling between light and matter can substantially modify the chemical and physical …

Here, we present a fundamental study on how the ground-state chemical reactivity of a
single molecule can be modified in a QED scenario, ie, when it is placed inside a nanoscale …
