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

The interaction between molecular electronic transitions and electromagnetic fields can be
enlarged to the point where distinct hybrid light–matter states, polaritons, emerge. The …

Over the past decade, the possibility of manipulating chemistry and material properties using
hybrid light–matter states has stimulated considerable interest. Hybrid light–matter states …

Here, we review the design of optical cavities, transient and modulated responses, and
theoretical models relevant to vibrational strong coupling (VSC). While planar Fabry–Perot …

The coherent exchange of energy between materials and optical fields leads to strong light–
matter interactions and so-called polaritonic states with intriguing properties, halfway …

Chemical manifestations of strong light–matter coupling have recently been a subject of
intense experimental and theoretical studies. Here we review the present status of this field …

Molecular polaritons are the optical excitations which emerge when molecular transitions
interact strongly with confined electromagnetic fields. Increasing interest in the hybrid …

Many chemical methods have been developed to favor a particular product in
transformations of compounds that have two or more reactive sites. We explored a different …

Transport of excitons and charge carriers in molecular systems can be enhanced by
coherent coupling to photons, giving rise to the formation of hybrid excitations known as …

The exciton, an excited electron–hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in
photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as …
