Universal Scaling and Many-Body Resurrection of Polaritonic Double-Quantum Coherences

Maxim Sukharev

The ultrafast nonlinear optical response of molecular ensembles is fundamentally altered under strong light-matter coupling. To rigorously isolate the genuine many-body contributio…

Linear and nonlinear vibrational excitation driven by molecular polaritons

Wenxiang Ying, Carlos M. Bustamante, Franco P. Bonafé +5

Following our recent numerical study [arXiv:2601.16299 (2026)], we investigate vibrational excitation induced by transient optical driving in molecular ensembles strongly coupled t…

Molecular polariton dynamics in realistic cavities

Carlos M. Bustamante, Franco P. Bonafé, Maxim Sukharev +3

The large number of degrees of freedom involved in polaritonic chemistry processes considerably restricts the systems that can be described by any ab initio approach, due to the re…

Unveiling the Dance of Molecules: Ro-Vibrational Dynamics of Molecules under Intense Illumination at Complex Plasmonic Interfaces

Maxim Sukharev, Joseph E. Subotnik, Abraham Nitzan

Understanding the quantum dynamics of strongly coupled molecule-cavity systems remains a significant challenge in molecular polaritonics. This work develops a comprehensive self-co…

Harnessing Complexity: Nonlinear Optical Phenomena in L-Shapes, Nanocrescents, and Split-Ring Resonators

Michael R. Clark, Syed A. Shah, Andrei Piryatinski +1

We conduct systematic studies of the optical characteristics of plasmonic nanoparticles that exhibit C2v symmetry. We analyze three distinct geometric configurations: an L-type sha…

Interplay of gain and loss in arrays of nonlinear plasmonic nanoparticles: toward parametric downconversion and amplification

Syed A. Shah, Michael R. Clark, Joseph Zyss +2

With the help of a theoretical model and finite-difference-time-domain simulations based on the hydrodynamic-Maxwell model, we examine the effect of difference frequency generation…
