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 …

Here, we review the design of optical cavities, transient and modulated responses, and
theoretical models relevant to vibrational strong coupling (VSC). While planar Fabry–Perot …

Reaction-rate modifications for chemical processes due to strong coupling between reactant
molecular vibrations and the cavity vacuum have been reported; however, no currently …

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 …

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 …

Polariton chemistry has emerged as an appealing branch of synthetic chemistry that
promises mode selectivity and a cleaner approach to kinetic control. Of particular interest are …

Vibrational strong coupling (VSC) occurs when molecular vibrations hybridize with the
modes of an optical cavity, an interaction mediated by vacuum fluctuations. VSC has been …

Vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between molecular vibrations and microcavity photons
yields a few polaritons (light-matter modes) and many dark modes (with negligible photonic …

The observed modification of thermal chemical rates in Fabry–Perot cavities remains a
poorly understood effect theoretically. Recent breakthroughs explain some of the …

While there have been numerous reports of long‐range polariton transport at room‐
temperature in organic cavities, the spatiotemporal evolution of the propagation is scarcely …
