When molecules are coupled to an optical cavity, new light–matter hybrid states, so-called
polaritons, are formed due to quantum light–matter interactions. With the experimental …

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 …

In this paper, we develop quantum dynamical methods capable of treating the dynamics of
chemically reacting systems in an optical cavity in the vibrationally strong-coupling (VSC) …

Polariton chemistry may provide a new means to control molecular reactivity, permitting
remote, reversible modification of reaction energetics, kinetics, and product yields. A …

We present a powerful formalism, disordered collective dynamics using truncated equations
(d-CUT-E), to simulate the ultrafast quantum dynamics of molecular polaritons in the …

Molecular polaritons, hybrid light-matter states resulting from strong cavity coupling of optical
transitions, may provide a new route to guide chemical reactions. However, demonstrations …

We present a theory that explains the resonance effect of the vibrational strong coupling
(VSC) modified reaction rate constant at the normal incidence of a Fabry–Pérot (FP) cavity …

Explanation for the modification of rates and mechanism of reactions carried out in optical
cavities still eludes us. Several studies indicate that the cavity-mediated changes in the …

It has been experimentally demonstrated that molecular-vibration polaritons formed by
strong coupling of a molecular vibration to an infrared cavity mode can significantly modify …

Very recent experiments on vibrational strong coupling tend to modify chemical reactivity,
energy transfer, and many other physical properties of the coupled system. This is achieved …
