The thermodynamics of strong coupling between molecules and the vacuum field is
analyzed and the Gibbs free energy, the enthalpy, and entropy of the coupling process are
determined for the first time. The thermodynamic parameters are a function of the Rabi
splitting and the microscopic solvation. The results provide a new framework for
understanding light‐molecule strong coupling.

Abstract
The thermodynamics of strong coupling between molecules and the vacuum field is analyzed and the Gibbs free energy, the enthalpy, and entropy of the coupling process are determined for the first time. The thermodynamic parameters are a function of the Rabi splitting and the microscopic solvation. The results provide a new framework for understanding light‐molecule strong coupling.
