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 …

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

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 …

Polaritonic chemistry exploits strong light–matter coupling between molecules and confined
electromagnetic field modes to enable new chemical reactivities. In systems displaying this …

The development of efficient techniques to distinguish mirror images of chiral molecules
(enantiomers) is very important in both chemistry and physics. Enantiomers share most …

Polaritonic chemistry is an interdisciplinary emerging field that presents several challenges
and opportunities in chemistry, physics, and engineering. A systematic review of polaritonic …

An active environment is any atomic or molecular system changing a chromophore's
nonadiabatic dynamics compared to the isolated molecule. The action of the environment on …

Collectively coupling molecular ensembles to a cavity has been demonstrated to modify
chemical reactions akin to catalysis. Theoretically understanding this experimental finding …

We combine ab initio molecular electronic Hamiltonians with a cavity quantum
electrodynamics model for dissipative photonic modes and apply mean-field theories to the …

Chemical and photochemical reactivity, as well as supramolecular organization and several
other molecular properties, can be modified by strong interactions between light and matter …
