Cavity-mediated localization and collective electron correlation phases
Dominik Sidler, Francesco Greco, Michael Ruggenthaler +1
Collective strong coupling of molecular ensembles to optical cavities opens a route to modifying matter through genuinely collective electronic correlations. Yet even in the absenc…
Density-Functional Tight Binding Meets Maxwell: Unraveling the Mysteries of (Strong) Light-Matter Coupling Efficiently
Dominik Sidler, Carlos M. Bustamante, Franco P. Bonafe +3
Controlling chemical and material properties through strong light-matter coupling in optical cavities has gained considerable attention over the past decade. However, the underlyin…
Collectively-modified inter-molecular electron correlations: The connection of polaritonic chemistry and spin glass physics
Dominik Sidler, Michael Ruggenthaler, Angel Rubio
Polaritonic chemistry has garnered increasing attention in recent years due to pioneering experimental results, which show that site- and bond-selective chemistry at room temperatu…
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…
The relevance of degenerate states in chiral polaritonics
Carlos M. Bustamante, Dominik Sidler, Michael Ruggenthaler +1
In this work we explore theoretically whether a parity-violating/chiral light-matter interaction is required to capture all relevant aspects of chiral polaritonics or if a parity-c…
