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 …

BACKGROUND One of the most important phenomena in cavity quantum electrodynamics
(cQED) is the so-called strong coupling regime, which appears when the interaction …

Over the past decade, the possibility of manipulating chemistry and material properties using
hybrid light–matter states has stimulated considerable interest. Hybrid light–matter states …

The coherent exchange of energy between materials and optical fields leads to strong light–
matter interactions and so-called polaritonic states with intriguing properties, halfway …

Transport of excitons and charge carriers in molecular systems can be enhanced by
coherent coupling to photons, giving rise to the formation of hybrid excitations known as …

Molecular polaritons result from light-matter coupling between optical resonances and
molecular electronic or vibrational transitions. When the coupling is strong enough, new …

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 …

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

Conspectus The notion that light and matter states can be hybridized the way s and p
orbitals are mixed is a concept that is not familiar to most chemists and material scientists …
