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 …

Through incremental change, Nature reworks and repurposes its functional machinery. In
this way, proteins that photochemically repair DNA by moving protons and electrons have a …

Quantum‐classical formulations of reactive flux correlation functions require the partial Weyl–
Wigner transform of the thermalized flux operator, whose numerical evaluation is unstable …

Recent experiments demonstrate the control of chemical reactivities by coupling molecules
inside an optical microcavity. In contrast, transition state theory predicts no change of the …

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 …

The electromagnetic field in an optical cavity can dramatically modify and even control
chemical reactivity via vibrational strong coupling (VSC). Since the typical vibration and …

The calculation of rate coefficients is a discipline of nonlinear science of importance to much
of physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology. Fifty years after Kramers' seminal paper on …

The purpose of this book is to present various results and techniques from the theory of
stochastic processes and in particular diffusion processes that are useful in the study of …

We present an overview of the current status of transition-state theory and its
generalizations. We emphasize (i) recent improvements in available methodology for …

Recent experiments have demonstrated remarkable mode-selective reactivities by coupling
molecular vibrations with a quantized radiation field inside an optical cavity. The …
