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 discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on
nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical …

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 …

Photon emitters placed in an optical cavity experience an environment that changes how
they are coupled to the surrounding light field. In the weak-coupling regime, the extraction 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 …

Reaction-rate modifications for chemical processes due to strong coupling between reactant
molecular vibrations and the cavity vacuum have been reported; however, no currently …

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 …

In this review we look at the concepts and state-of-the-art concerning the strong coupling of
surface plasmon-polariton modes to states associated with quantum emitters such as …

Gold nanorods have been receiving extensive attention owing to their extremely attractive
applications in biomedical technologies, plasmon-enhanced spectroscopies, and optical …

Quantum plasmonics is a rapidly growing field of research that involves the study of the
quantum properties of light and its interaction with matter at the nanoscale. Here, surface …
