Theory of vibrational polariton chemistry in the collective coupling regime

Arkajit Mandal et al.

Summary: We theoretically demonstrate that the chemical reaction rate constant can be significantly suppressed by coupling molecular vibrations with an optical cavity, exhibiting both the collective coupling effect and the cavity frequency modification of the rate constant. When a reaction coordinate is strongly coupled to the solvent molecules, the reaction rate constant is reduced due to the dynamical caging effect. Moreover, we demonstrate that collectively coupling the solvent to the cavity can further enhance this dynamical caging effect, leading to additional suppression of the chemical kinetics.

Ultrafast modulation of vibrational polaritons for controlling the quantum field statistics at mid-infrared frequencies

Johan F. Triana et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the reversible manipulation of the photocount and quadrature field statistics of a confined mid-infrared cavity field by coupling molecular vibrations with the cavity vacuum. By modulating the cavity resonance frequency using femtosecond UV pulses, the statistics of the cavity field can be controlled on sub-picosecond timescales. The proposed design principles for generating mid-infrared quantum light and suggestions for experimental implementations pave the way for the development of molecule-based mid-infrared quantum optical devices at room temperature.

Quantum Effects in Chemical Reactions under Polaritonic Vibrational Strong Coupling

Pei-Yun Yang et al.

Summary: The electromagnetic field in an optical cavity can modify and control chemical reactions through vibrational strong coupling, requiring a quantum description. The use of quantum transition state theory helps to explain resonant effect, collective effect, and selectivity in cavity-catalyzed reactions. Perturbative analysis of polariton normal modes supports the theoretical calculations and provides a general approach for other VSC phenomena.

Cavity molecular dynamics simulations of vibrational polariton-enhanced molecular nonlinear absorption

Tao E. Li et al.

Summary: Recent experiments have shown that the properties of molecules can be altered inside an optical Fabry-Perot microcavity under collective vibrational strong coupling conditions, but this phenomenon is not yet well understood theoretically. By studying the effect of the cavity environment on the nonlinear optical response of the molecular subsystem, researchers have found that a strong excitation pulse to the lower hybrid light-matter state leads to significantly enhanced molecular nonlinear absorption within the cavity. This polariton-enhanced multiphoton absorption also results in an ultrashort polariton lifetime under strong illumination. The mechanism by which energy is transferred to higher vibrationally excited dark states is expected to be observed experimentally in different molecular systems and cavities.

Light-matter interaction of a molecule in a dissipative cavity from first principles

Derek S. Wang et al.

Summary: Researchers have successfully described the coupled cavity-single molecule interactions in the weak-to-strong-coupling regimes by generalizing quantum-electrodynamical density functional theory to account for dissipative dynamics of the cavity. By tuning the coupling, cavity-mediated energy transfer between electronically excited states has been achieved. This generalized ab initio quantum-electrodynamical density functional theory treatment can be extended to describe cavity-mediated interactions in arbitrary electromagnetic environments, bridging the gap between electronic structure theory, quantum optics, and nanophotonics.

Cavity frequency-dependent theory for vibrational polariton chemistry

Xinyang Li et al.

Summary: Recent experiments show that coupling molecules inside an optical microcavity can control chemical reactivities, specifically through the mechanism of vibrational strong coupling. The modification of chemical reactivities in VSC polariton chemistry, dependent on photon frequency, can be explained by non-Markovian dynamics and the dynamic caging effect of the reaction coordinate. This study sheds light on the suppression of reaction rates for a specific cavity frequency, reminiscent of a solvent caging effect.

Locating Single-Atom Optical Picocavities Using Wavelength-Multiplexed Raman Scattering

Jack Griffiths et al.

Summary: The study reveals that light suppresses the local effective barrier height for adatom formation, and that the initial barrier height is decreased by reduced atomic coordination numbers near facet edges. Modeling the system also resolves the frequency-dependent picocavity field enhancements supported by these atomic scale features.

Theory of Mode-Selective Chemistry through Polaritonic Vibrational Strong Coupling

Xinyang Li et al.

Summary: Recent experiments have shown significant mode-selective reactivities by coupling molecular vibrations with a quantized radiation field inside an optical cavity. However, the fundamental mechanism behind these effects remains mysterious. Theoretical explanation in this work reveals that the dynamics of the radiation mode leads to a cavity frequency-dependent dynamical caging effect of a reaction coordinate, resulting in a suppression of the rate constant. It is possible to selectively slow down a given reaction by preferentially caging a reaction coordinate in the presence of competitive reactions with different barrier frequencies.

Summary: In the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in using hybrid light-matter states to control the properties of matter and chemical reactivity. Experimental and theoretical studies have shown that these hybrid states can enhance properties like transport, magnetism, and superconductivity, as well as modify (bio)chemical reactivity. This multidisciplinary field has great potential for further exploration.
