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 …

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 …

Recent experiments suggest that ground state chemical reactivity can be modified when
placing molecular systems inside infrared cavities where molecular vibrations are strongly …

Recent experiments demonstrate the control of chemical reactivities by coupling molecules
inside an optical microcavity. In contrast, transition state theory predicts no change of the …

Over the last few years, extraordinary advances in experimental and theoretical tools have
allowed us to monitor and control matter at short time and atomic scales with a high degree …

We present an ab initio correlated approach to study molecules that interact strongly with
quantum fields in an optical cavity. Quantum electrodynamics coupled cluster theory …

The Dicke model describes the coupling between a quantized cavity field and a large
ensemble of two‐level atoms. When the number of atoms tends to infinity, this model can …

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

Insights from spectroscopic experiments led to the development of quantum mechanics as
the common theoretical framework for describing the physical and chemical properties of …

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 …
