Competing pathways in polaritonic chemistry and general harmonic environments
Jonas Vinther, Leonardo A. Cunha, Johannes Flick
Recent experiments suggest that strong light-matter coupling between molecules and cavity modes can significantly modify chemical reaction rates and yields. Despite multiple propos…
Modifying van der Waals Materials via Cavity Vacuum Fluctuations
Mohammad Hassan, Cankut Tasci, Leonardo A. Cunha +2
In the field of cavity quantum materials, vacuum fluctuations of optical cavities are used for modifying ground-state properties of quantum materials without external driving. Here…
Super-Poissonian Squeezed Light in the Ground State of Strongly Coupled Light-matter Systems
Cankut Tasci, Mohammad Hassan, Leon Orlov-Sullivan +2
Strong light-matter coupling enables hybrid states in which photonic and electronic degrees of freedom become correlated even in the ground state. While many-body effects in long-r…
Testing electron-photon exchange-correlation functional performance for many-electron systems under weak and strong light-matter coupling
Iman Ahmadabadi, I-Te Lu, Leonardo A. Cunha +3
We present results of a photon-free exchange-correlation functional within the local density approximation (pxcLDA) for quantum electrodynamics density functional theory (QEDFT) th…
