The interaction between molecular electronic transitions and electromagnetic fields can be
enlarged to the point where distinct hybrid light–matter states, polaritons, emerge. The …

Chemical manifestations of strong light–matter coupling have recently been a subject of
intense experimental and theoretical studies. Here we review the present status of this field …

Ultrathin dielectric gaps between metals can trap plasmonic optical modes with surprisingly
low loss and with volumes below 1 nm3. We review the origin and subtle properties of these …

Ambitions to reach atomic resolution with light have been a major force in sha** nano-
optics, whereby a central challenge is achieving highly localized optical fields. A promising …

Molecular junctions are building blocks for constructing future nanoelectronic devices that
enable the investigation of a broad range of electronic transport properties within nanoscale …

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 …

In this article, we review strong light-matter coupling at the interface of materials science,
quantum chemistry, and quantum photonics. The control of light and heat at thermodynamic …

Solid-state single-quantum emitters are crucial resources for on-chip photonic quantum
technologies and require efficient cavity–emitter coupling to realize quantum networks …

The large losses of plasmonic nanocavities, orders of magnitude beyond those of photonic
dielectric cavities, places them, perhaps surprisingly, as exceptional enhancers of single …

Plasmonic gap nanostructures (PGNs) have been extensively investigated mainly because
of their strongly enhanced optical responses, which stem from the high intensity of the …
