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 …

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 …

Chemical manifestations of strong light–matter coupling have recently been a subject of
intense experimental and theoretical studies. Here we review the present status of this field …

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 …

Collective strong coupling between a disordered ensemble of N localized molecular
vibrations and a resonant optical cavity mode gives rise to two polariton and N-1≫ 2 dark …

Vibrational strong coupling (VSC) has recently been shown to change the rate and
chemoselectivity of ground‐state chemical reactions via the formation of light–matter hybrid …

Strong coupling plays a significant role in influencing chemical reactions and tuning material
properties by modifying the energy landscapes of the systems. Here we study the effect of …

Following experimental evidence that vibrational polaritons, formed from collective
vibrational strong coupling (VSC) in optical microcavities, can modify ground-state reaction …
