Jiawei Wang et al.

Summary: The Mobius strip offers a platform for investigating the topological behavior of spinning particles, such as electrons, polaritons, and photons. Despite theoretical investigations, the optical Berry phase in a Mobius-strip cavity has not been experimentally observed until now. In this study, the researchers successfully observed the Berry phase generated in optical Mobius-strip microcavities by generating elliptical polarization of the resonating light.

Ab Initio Molecular Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics Simulations Using Machine Learning Models

Deping Hu et al.

Summary: We present a mixed quantum-classical simulation method for polariton dynamics in molecule-cavity hybrid systems, treating electronic-photonic degrees of freedom as the quantum subsystem and nuclear degrees of freedom as the classical subsystem. We use trajectory surface hopping approach to simulate non-adiabatic dynamics and accurate nuclear gradient expression derived from the Pauli-Fierz quantum electrodynamics Hamiltonian. Machine learning model with kernel ridge regression method is used to construct dipoles and their derivatives. Our results demonstrate the accuracy of the machine-learned dipoles and the effective tuning of the isomerization reaction by coupling to an optical cavity.

Vibropolaritonic Reaction Rates in the Collective Strong Coupling Regime: Pollak-Grabert-Ha?nggi Theory

Matthew Du et al.

Summary: This study explains the experimental evidence that shows vibrational polaritons formed from collective vibrational strong coupling in optical microcavities can modify ground-state reaction rates. The study proposes theoretical explanations based on cavity-induced frictions that go beyond transition state theory. However, previous works have not captured the ensemble effects present in experiments by considering only a single reacting molecule coupled to light. The relevant light-matter coupling should also be N times smaller than those used in previous works, where N is the ensemble size.

Investigating Molecular Exciton Polaritons Using Ab Initio Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

Braden M. Weight et al.

Summary: Coupling molecules to the quantized radiation field inside an optical cavity creates new photon-matter hybrid states called polariton states. We investigate molecular polaritons using ab initio simulations by combining electronic structure theory with quantum electrodynamics (QED). This parametrized QED approach provides exact molecule-cavity interactions, limited by approximations made in the electronic structure. Our demonstrated accuracy and selected applications in light-harvesting and light-emitting materials suggest that this framework can be a powerful tool for simulating exciton polaritons in molecule-cavity hybrid systems.

Microscopic Theory of Multimode Polariton Dispersion in Multilayered Materials

Arkajit Mandal et al.

Summary: We have developed a microscopic theory for the dispersion of multimode polaritons in materials coupled to cavity radiation modes. By starting from a microscopic light-matter Hamiltonian, we have devised a general strategy to obtain simple matrix models of polariton dispersion curves based on the structure and spatial location of multilayered 2D materials inside the optical cavity. Our theory establishes the connections between different models used in the literature and resolves an ambiguity in the experimental description of the polaritonic band structure. We have demonstrated the validity of our theoretical formalism by fabricating various geometries of multilayered perovskite materials coupled to cavities and showing agreement with experimental results.

Modification of ground-state chemical reactivity via light-matter coherence in infrared cavities

Wonmi Ahn et al.

Summary: Reaction-rate modifications due to the strong coupling between molecular vibrations and the cavity vacuum have been investigated, but the mechanisms behind these observations are still unknown. This study extracted reaction-rate constants from evolving cavity transmission spectra, showing resonant suppression of the intracavity reaction rate for a specific alcoholysis reaction. By tuning the cavity modes to be resonant with the reactant and product vibrations, as well as cooperative modes, up to 80% suppression of the reaction rate was observed. An open quantum system model was used to interpret these results, suggesting the role of light-matter quantum coherences in modifying the vibrational distribution of reactants and highlighting the connection between chemistry and quantum science.

Quantum dynamical effects of vibrational strong coupling in chemical reactivity

Lachlan P. Lindoy et al.

Summary: Recent experiments have shown that placing molecular systems inside infrared cavities can modify their ground state chemical reactivity, but the underlying theoretical explanation remains unclear. In this study, the authors employ an exact quantum dynamics approach to investigate a model of cavity-modified chemical reactions and find that quantum mechanical treatment is crucial in obtaining accurate predictions of reactivity alterations. They observe sizable changes in the rate constant, which are associated with quantum mechanical state splittings and resonances, suggesting that quantum light-matter interactions play a key role in understanding this phenomenon.

Denis G. Baranov et al.

Summary: Coupling between light and material excitations generates a variety of optical phenomena. Polaritons, as eigenstates of a coupled system, exhibit properties of both photons and electrons, and offer new ways for controlling electronic transport and chemical kinetics. In chiral quantum emitters, which have nonzero electric and magnetic dipole moments, there is potential for novel effects in strong light-matter coupling. This emerging field at the intersection of nanophotonics, quantum optics, and chemistry is still in its early stages, but holds great promise for future research.

Theory for Cavity-Modified Ground-State Reactivities via Electron-Photon Interactions

Arkajit Mandal et al.

Summary: We present a simple and intuitive theory that explains how coupling a molecule to an optical cavity can modify ground-state chemical reactivity by exploiting intrinsic quantum behaviors of light-matter interactions. Using the polarized Fock states representation, we demonstrate that the ground-state potential can be changed through light-matter interactions due to the scaling of diabatic electronic couplings with the overlap of the polarized Fock states. Our theory predicts that the ground-state barrier height can be modified through light-matter interactions when the cavity frequency is in the electronic excitation range. This work provides a simple but powerful theoretical framework to understand how strong coupling between the molecule and the cavity can modify ground-state reactivities.

Ultrafast imaging of polariton propagation and interactions

Ding Xu et al.

Summary: Semiconductor excitations can form exciton-polaritons with light-like energy flow and matter-like interactions. By using nonlinear momentum-resolved optical approach, the authors directly image the exciton-polaritons in real space on femtosecond scales. It is found that exciton-phonon interactions result in a renormalization of exciton-polariton velocities, but ballistic transport can be maintained for half-exciton polaritons. Upon increasing the excitonic character, rapid decoherence leads to diffusive transport.

Summary: The development of efficient techniques to distinguish mirror images of chiral molecules is crucial in chemistry and physics. Enantiomers share similar molecular properties, except for the absorption of circularly polarized light. Purifying enantiomers is challenging and requires specialized equipment.

Hot carrier generation in a strongly coupled molecule-plasmonic nanoparticle system

Katarzyna Kluczyk-Korch et al.

Summary: In strongly coupled light matter systems, the electronic energy levels and local electromagnetic field modes are intricately linked. The hybridization of these states creates new relaxation pathways, which are particularly important for plasmon decay into hot carriers. By using first principles calculations, we investigate the impact of the coupling strength between a plasmonic resonator and a molecule on hot carrier generation. Our atomistic approach enables the capture of changes in the electronic structure of the system. We find that hot carriers preferentially occur at excitation frequencies matching the new polaritonic resonances, and their energy distribution deviates significantly from that of the non-interacting system. This suggests the existence of new plasmon decay paths due to the appearance of hybridized nanoparticle-molecule states. We also observe direct electron transfer between the plasmonic nanoparticle and the molecule. Therefore, we can conclude that strong interaction between plasmonic nanostructures and molecules allows for manipulation of the energy distribution of generated hot carriers and opens up possibilities for charge transfer in the system.

Gauge-invariant theory of truncated quantum light-matter interactions in arbitrary media

Chris Gustin et al.

Summary: The loss of gauge invariance in light-matter interaction models due to material and photonic space truncation presents challenges to conventional quantum optical models. To address this, a rigorous model of field quantization within structured photonic environments is necessary. In this study, the macroscopic QED framework is used to quantize fields in an arbitrary material system, while respecting the gauge principle. By imposing a gauge-fixing constraint, a large range of gauges is obtained, including commonly used Coulomb and multipolar gauges. The results allow for the derivation of nonrelativistic models of ultrastrong light-matter interactions in structured photonic environments without gauge ambiguity.

Equation-of-motion cavity quantum electrodynamics coupled-cluster theory for electron attachment

Marcus D. Liebenthal et al.

Summary: The electron attachment variant of equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory is generalized to the case of strong light-matter coupling within the framework of cavity quantum electrodynamics. The resulting EOM-EA-QED-CC formalism provides an ab initio, correlated, and non-perturbative description of cavity-induced effects in many-electron systems. Importantly, this work demonstrates that QED generalizations of EOM-CC theory are useful frameworks for exploring particle-non-conserving sectors of Fock space, establishing a path forward for the simultaneous description of both strong electron-electron and electron-photon correlation effects.

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.

However, the computational bottleneck lies in the electronic structure theory. In this study, we propose new algorithms that only require adiabatic potential energies and their gradients, resulting in improved computation time and accuracy compared to previous methods. This reduction in computational cost allows for longer nonadiabatic trajectories and extends the dynamics capability to new electronic structure methods.

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.

Summary: This work provides a fundamental theoretical framework for few-mode cavity quantum electrodynamics by resolving the gauge ambiguities between the Coulomb gauge and the dipole gauge Hamiltonians under the photonic mode truncation. The study proposes a general framework to resolve ambiguities for arbitrary truncation in a given gauge, and derives gauge-invariant expressions for both the Coulomb and dipole gauge Hamiltonians specifically in the case of mode truncation. Analytical and numerical results of atomic and molecular model systems coupled to the cavity are presented to demonstrate the validity of the theory.

Additionally, both quantum and classical simulations predict that the static dielectric constant of liquid water remains largely unchanged inside vs outside the cavity under thermal equilibrium. However, this disagrees with a recent experiment, suggesting potential limitations of the approach or unexplored experimental factors.

Ultrastrong Coupling of a Single Molecule to a Plasmonic Nanocavity: A First-Principles Study

Mikael Kuisma et al.

Summary: Ultrastrong coupling refers to a unique mode of interaction between light and matter, where the coupling strength is comparable to the resonance energy of the cavity or emitter. Traditional approximations to quantum optical Hamiltonians fail in the ultrastrong coupling regime, as the ground state of the coupled system obtains photonic characteristics, resulting in changes in ground-state energy. Using time-dependent density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate that a single organic molecule can achieve ultrastrong coupling with a plasmonic dimer comprising of a few hundred atoms. The ultrastrong coupling leads to significant modifications in ground-state energy, accounting for a considerable portion of the total interaction energy.

Summary: Recent experiments have shown the potential to alter and steer chemical reactions in optical cavities, but the theoretical understanding remains limited. This paper focuses on the unimolecular dissociation reactions of multiple molecules interacting with an infrared cavity mode. The study reveals that increasing the number of aligned molecules can slow down the reaction rate if the cavity mode is resonant with a vibrational mode of the molecules. A scaling relation is also discovered to estimate the onset of reaction rate modification by collective vibrational strong coupling.

The research shows that the Berry phase results in a phase-shift in the wavefunction after encircling the CI, while the geometric phase significantly influences the coupling between polaritonic states. These effects are further demonstrated through photo-fragment angular distribution.

Coupling and decoupling of polaritonic states in multimode cavities

M. Balasubrahmaniyam et al.

Summary: We reveal a transition within the strong coupling regime and below the crossover to ultrastrong coupling, which alters the coupling mechanism in multimode cavities. This transition drastically modifies the Hamiltonian describing the polaritons, such that different cavity modes are either entangled via the material or completely decoupled.

Analytic approach to dynamics of the resonant and off-resonant Jaynes-Cummings systems with cavity losses

Soshun Ozaki et al.

Summary: This study develops an analytic approach to investigate the zero-temperature time evolution of the Jaynes-Cummings system with cavity losses. For the resonant case, an explicit analytic solution is derived for both single-excitation and many-excitation states, allowing for analyses on photon coherent states and sharp collapses and revivals under dissipation. For the off-resonant case, a systematic method is presented, discussing the conditions for justifying the widely used phenomenological treatment.Explicit evaluations of time evolutions for various initial states with finite detuning are also provided.

Charge-transfer chemical reactions in nanofluidic Fabry-Perot cavities

L. Mauro et al.

Summary: This study investigates the chemical reactivity of molecular populations confined inside a nanofluidic Fabry-Perot cavity, where collective polariton excitation, called reacton, is formed due to strong light-matter interactions. The formation of reacton modifies the kinetics of a photoisomerization chemical reaction and can be optically modulated by various factors. Despite losses and relaxation, measurable signatures of reacton formation can be found in pump-probe experiments.

Gauge freedom, quantum measurements, and time-dependent interactions in cavity QED

Alessio Settineri et al.

Summary: The interaction between quantized electromagnetic fields in cavities and natural or artificial atoms is crucial for the development of our understanding of light-matter interactions and quantum technologies. Exploring new ultrastrong coupling regimes challenges our understanding of cavity QED and is important for designing next-generation quantum devices.

Gauge fixing for strongly correlated electrons coupled to quantum light

Olesia Dmytruk et al.

Summary: The paper discusses the problem of gauge fixing for strongly correlated electrons coupled to quantum light and presents a general approach to write down a quantum light-matter Hamiltonian in dipole or Coulomb gauge. It shows the unique structures of the dipole and Coulomb gauge Hamiltonians and their connection to the Peierls approximation, with an application to a two-orbital model. The results highlight the importance of treating the nonlinear light-matter interaction nonperturbatively to ensure gauge equivalence and obtain a well-defined ultrastrong coupling limit.
