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 …

The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought
experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now …

Molecular polaritons are the optical excitations which emerge when molecular transitions
interact strongly with confined electromagnetic fields. Increasing interest in the hybrid …

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 …

Abstract The Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), a soluble fully quantum mechanical model of
an atom in a field, was first used (in 1963) to examine the classical aspects of spontaneous …

Exciton transport can be enhanced in the strong coupling regime where excitons hybridize
with confined light modes to form polaritons. Because polaritons have group velocity, their …

Strong coupling between molecules and confined light modes of optical cavities to form
polaritons can alter photochemistry, but the origin of this effect remains largely unknown …

The exchange of photons between single Rydberg atoms and a single mode of a
superconducting cavity with a quality factor Q= 8× 10 8 at 2 K was observed. Signals could …

Quantum information theorems state that it is possible to exploit collective quantum
resources to greatly enhance the charging power of quantum batteries (QBs) made of many …
