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 Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

We investigate the polariton-mediated electron transfer reaction in a model system with
analytic rate constant theory and direct quantum dynamical simulations. We demonstrate …

A fundamental question in the field of polaritonic chemistry is whether collective coupling
implies local modifications of chemical properties scaling with the ensemble size. Here we …

We present a new theoretical framework, polarized Fock states (PFSs), to describe the
coupled molecule–cavity hybrid system in quantum electrodynamics. Through the quantum …

Excited state proton transfer is an ubiquitous phenomenon in biology and chemistry,
spanning from the ultrafast reactions of photobases and acids to light-driven, enzymatic …

We use the ring polymer (RP) representation to quantize the radiation field inside an optical
cavity to investigate polariton quantum dynamics. Using a charge transfer model coupled to …

Light-induced nonadiabatic phenomena arise when molecules or molecular ensembles are
exposed to resonant external electromagnetic fields. The latter can either be classical laser …

Vibrational strong coupling has emerged as a promising route for manipulating the reactivity
of molecules inside infrared cavities. We develop a full-quantum methodology to study the …

The coupling of a molecule and a cavity induces nonadiabaticity in the molecule which
makes the description of its dynamics complicated. For polyatomic molecules, reduced …
