Claim 1application scopesupports2019Source 1DOI PubMed

Using vacuum fluctuations, strong light–matter interactions have been used to change chemical reactivity, charge conductivity, excited-state relaxation pathways, and rates of chemical reactions of organic molecules.

Claim 2capability summarysupports2019Source 1DOI PubMed

Strong coupling of molecules to light can modify chemical and physical properties of molecules without chemical modification.

Claim 3mechanism summarysupports2019Source 1DOI PubMed

Vacuum fluctuations inside an optical cavity can enable strong coupling between molecules and light even without the presence of a photon.

Claim 4state formationsupports2019Source 1DOI PubMed

Strong light–matter coupling can reach about 1 eV and leads to formation of hybrid light–matter states called polaritons.
