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 …

Molecules are the building blocks of all of nature's functional components, serving as the
machinery that captures, stores and releases energy or converts it into useful work …

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 …

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

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 …

Vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between molecular vibrations and microcavity photons
yields a few polaritons (light-matter modes) and many dark modes (with negligible photonic …

One of the most exciting and debated aspects of polariton chemistry is the possibility that
chemical reactions can be catalyzed by vibrational strong coupling (VSC) with confined …

Collective strong coupling between a disordered ensemble of N localized molecular
vibrations and a resonant optical cavity mode gives rise to two polariton and N-1≫ 2 dark …

Hydrogen bonding interactions among water molecules play a critical role in chemical
reactivity, dynamic proton mobility, static dielectric behavior, and the thermodynamic …

Vibrational strong coupling offers newfound potential to affect chemical processes and
represents a wholly new approach to catalysis. While this presents extraordinary …
