Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS)
have opened a variety of exciting research fields. However, although a vast number of …

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

In this review, we present the theoretical foundations and first-principles frameworks to
describe quantum matter within quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the low-energy regime …

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 …

Solar energy is an ample renewable energy resource, with photovoltaic (PV) technology
enabling a direct route from light to electricity. Currently, PVs are limited in photon …

Nanostructured surfaces with designed optical functionalities, such as metasurfaces, allow
efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light–matter interactions for a wide …

This Review focuses on the integration of plasmonic and dielectric metasurfaces with
emissive or stimuli-responsive materials for manipulating light–matter interactions at the …

Molecular polaritons result from light-matter coupling between optical resonances and
molecular electronic or vibrational transitions. When the coupling is strong enough, new …

Polaritonic chemistry exploits strong light–matter coupling between molecules and confined
electromagnetic field modes to enable new chemical reactivities. In systems displaying this …

Exciton transport can be enhanced in the strong coupling regime where excitons hybridize
with confined light modes to form polaritons. Because polaritons have group velocity, their …
