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 short review, we provide an update of recent developments in Kramers' theory of
reaction rates. After a brief introduction stressing the importance of this theory initially …

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