The role of dark polariton states for electronic strong coupling in molecules

Lucas Borges, Thomas Schnappinger, Markus Kowalewski

Polaritonic chemistry investigates the possible modification of chemical and photochemical reactions by means of strong light-matter coupling in optical cavities, as demonstrated i…

Disentangling collective coupling in vibrational polaritons with double quantum coherence spectroscopy

Thomas Schnappinger, Cyril Falvo, Markus Kowalewski

Vibrational polaritons are formed by strong coupling of molecular vibrations and photon modes in an optical cavity. Experiments have demonstrated that vibrational strong coupling c…

Analytic Model Reveals Local Molecular Polarizability Changes Induced by Collective Strong Coupling in Optical Cavities

Jacob Horak, Dominik Sidler, Thomas Schnappinger +3

Despite recent numerical evidence, one of the fundamental theoretical mysteries of polaritonic chemistry is how and if collective strong coupling can induce local changes of the el…

Cavity-Born-Oppenheimer Hartree-Fock Ansatz: Light-matter Properties of Strongly Coupled Molecular Ensembles

Thomas Schnappinger, Dominik Sidler, Michael Ruggenthaler +2

Experimental studies indicate that optical cavities can affect chemical reactions, through either vibrational or electronic strong coupling and the quantized cavity modes. However,…

Unraveling a cavity induced molecular polarization mechanism from collective vibrational strong coupling

Dominik Sidler, Thomas Schnappinger, Anatoly Obzhirov +3

We demonstrate that collective vibrational strong coupling of molecules in thermal equilibrium can give rise to significant local electronic polarizations in the thermodynamic limi…
