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 …

We develop a microscopic theory for the multimode polariton dispersion in materials
coupled to cavity radiation modes. Starting from a microscopic light–matter Hamiltonian, we …

Strong coupling between various kinds of material excitations and optical modes has
recently shown potential to modify chemical reaction rates in both excited and ground states …

A new research field is emerging in which ensembles of molecules are collectively
hybridised with light in a process known as strong coupling. This hybridisation leads to the …

The central theme of cavity quantum electrodynamics is the coupling of a single optical
mode with a single matter excitation, leading to a doublet of cavity polaritons which govern …

Strong coupling between light and matter in a microcavity can produce quasi‐particle states
termed cavity‐polaritons. In cavity architectures containing more than one excitonic species …

The strong coupling of molecules with surface plasmons results in hybrid states which are
part molecule, part surface-bound light. Since molecular resonances may acquire the spatial …

Strong coupling of molecules placed in an optical microcavity may lead to the formation of
hybrid states called polaritons; states that inherit characteristics of both the optical cavity …

Vibrational strong coupling is a phenomenon in which a vibrational transition in a material
placed inside a photonic structure is hybridized with its optical modes to form composite light …
