Polariton thermalization is a key process in achieving light-matter Bose--Einstein condensation, spanning from solid-state semiconductor microcavities at cryogenic temperatures to surface plasmon nanocavities with molecules at room…
Vibrational polaritons are formed by strong coupling of molecular vibrations and photon modes in an optical cavity. Experiments have demonstrated that vibrational strong coupling can change molecular properties and even affect chemical…
Polariton chemistry exploits the strong interaction between quantized excitations in molecules and quantized photon states in optical cavities to affect chemical reactivity. Molecular polaritons have been experimentally realized by the…
Experimental studies indicate that optical cavities can affect chemical reactions, through either vibrational or electronic strong coupling and the quantized cavity modes. However, the current understanding of the interplay between…
Molecular polaritons arise when molecules interact so strongly with light that they become entangled with each other. This light-matter hybridization alters the chemical and physical properties of the molecular system and allows chemical…
A model designed to mimic the implications of the collective optical response of molecular ensembles in optical cavities on molecular vibronic dynamics is investigated. Strong molecule-radiation field coupling is often reached when a large…

We propose an optomechanical scheme for reaching quantum entanglement in vibration polaritons. The system involves $N$ molecules, whose vibrations can be fairly entangled with plasmonic cavities. We find that the vibration-photon…
We introduce a theory of chemical equilibrium in optical microcavities, which allows us to relate equilibrium reaction quotients in different electromagnetic environments. Our theory shows that in planar microcavities under strong coupling…
Collective strong coupling of molecular ensembles to optical cavities opens a route to modifying matter through genuinely collective electronic correlations. Yet even in the absence of a cavity, Coulomb correlations are notoriously…
A theoretical approach aimed at the quantum statistical mechanics of a molecular ensemble coupled to a lossless cavity mode is presented. A canonical ensemble is considered and an approximate formula is devised for the Helmholtz free energy…
Recent experiments have demonstrated that polariton formation provides a novel strategy for modifying local molecular processes when a large ensemble of molecules is confined within an optical cavity. Herein, a numerical strategy based on…
