In most theoretical descriptions of collective strong coupling of organic molecules to a cavity mode, the molecules are modeled as simple two-level systems. This picture fails to describe the rich structure provided by their internal…
Strong light-matter coupling has shown great potential for modifying the electro-optical properties of semiconducting materials in recent years. In the strong coupling regime, excitons and cavity photons form new states named…
We investigate an efficient two-photon up-conversion process in more than one molecule coupled to an optical antenna. In the previous work [Y. Osaka et al., PRL 112, 133601 (2014)], we considered the two-photon up-conversion process in a…
In the last decade, much theoretical research has focused on studying the strong coupling between organic molecules (or quantum emitters, in general) and light modes. The description and prediction of polaritonic phenomena emerging in this…
The field of molecular electronics has emerged from efforts to understand electron propagation through single molecules and to use them in electronic circuits. Serving as a testbed for advanced theoretical methods, it reveals a significant…
Dynamically probing systems of ultrastrongly coupled light and matter by advanced coherent control has been recently proposed as a unique tool for detecting peculiar quantum features of this regime. Coherence allows in principle on-demand…
Strong light-matter coupling has garnered significant attention for its potential to optimize optoelectronic responses. In this study, we designed open cavities featuring non-local metasurfaces composed of aluminum nanoparticle arrays. The…
The coherent interaction of a large collection of molecules with a common photonic mode results in strong light-matter coupling, a feature that proved highly beneficial for chemistry and termed the research topics polaritonic and QED…
We show that strong light-matter coupling can be used to overcome a long standing problem that has prevented efficient optical emission from carbon nanotubes. The luminescence from the nominally bright exciton states of carbon nanotubes is…
Molecular polaritons are hybrid states of photonic and molecular character that form when molecules strongly interact with light. Strong coupling tunes energy levels and importantly, can modify molecular properties (e.g. photoreaction…
Light-matter interactions are often considered governed by the electric optical field only, leaving aside the magnetic component of light. However, the magnetic part plays a determining role in many optical processes from light and…
Ultrastrong coupling between optical and material excitations is a distinct regime of electromagnetic interaction that enables a variety of intriguing physical phenomena. Traditional ways to ultrastrong light-matter coupling involve the use…
We report on inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy measurements carried out on single molecules incorporated into a mechanically controllable break-junction of Au and Pt electrodes at low temperature. Here we establish a correlation…
Polaritonic chemistry exploits strong light-matter coupling between molecules and confined electromagnetic field modes to enable new chemical reactivities. In systems displaying this functionality, the choice of the cavity determines both…
Strong light-matter interactions in both the single-emitter and collective strong coupling regimes attract significant attention due to emerging quantum and nonlinear optics applications, as well as opportunities for modifying…
Nanophotonic quantum devices can significantly boost light-matter interaction which is important for applications such as quantum networks. Reaching a high interaction strength between an optical transition of a spin system and a single…

Atomic-layer and two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as essential building blocks for next-generation quantum and semiconductor technologies, where atomic-scale control over light-matter interactions is critical. However, their…
In recent years it has become clear that the transport of excitons and charge carriers in molecular systems can be enhanced by coherent coupling with photons, giving rise to the formation of hybrid excitations known as polaritons. Such…
Light-matter coupling strength and optical loss are two key physical quantities in cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED), and their interplay determines whether light-matter hybrid states can be formed or not in chemical systems. In this…
