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 …

Experimental studies indicate that optical cavities can affect chemical reactions through
either vibrational or electronic strong coupling and the quantized cavity modes. However …

Most photochemistry occurs in the regime of weak light–matter coupling, in which a
molecule absorbs a photon and then performs photochemistry from its excited state. In the …

We demonstrate that collective vibrational strong coupling of molecules in thermal
equilibrium can give rise to significant local electronic polarizations in the thermodynamic …

Supramolecular polymers display interesting optoelectronic properties and, thus, deploy
multiple applications based on their molecular arrangement. However, controlling …

Strong coupling of molecules to vacuum fields is widely reported to lead to modified
chemical properties such as reaction rates. However, some recent attempts to reproduce …

Strong coupling between photonic modes and molecular electronic excitations, creating
hybrid light-matter states called polaritons, is an attractive avenue for controlling chemical …

Recent experiments demonstrate polaritons under the vibrational strong coupling (VSC)
regime can modify chemical reactivity. Here, we present a complete theory of VSC-modified …
