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 …

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 …

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 …

In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic
phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and …

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 …

The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Strong light–matter interaction in cavity environments is emerging as a promising approach
to control chemical reactions in a non-intrusive and efficient manner. The underlying …

Experimental studies indicate that optical cavities can affect chemical reactions through
either vibrational or electronic strong coupling and the quantized cavity modes. However …

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 …

Intermolecular bonds are weak compared to covalent bonds, but they are strong enough to
influence the properties of large molecular systems. In this work, we investigate how strong …
