Probing Light-Induced Conical Intersections by Monitoring Multidimensional Polaritonic Surfaces

Abstract

The interaction of a molecule with the quantized electromagnetic field of a nano-cavity gives rise to light-induced conical intersections between polaritonic potential energy surfaces. We demonstrate for a realistic model of a polyatomic molecule that the time-resolved ultrafast radiative emission of the cavity enables to follow both nuclear wavepacket dynamics on and nonadiabatic population transfer between polaritonic surfaces without applying a probe pulse. The latter provides an unambiguous (and in principle experimentally accessible) dynamical fingerprint of light-induced conical intersections.
