- Abstract: Despite the potential paradigm breaking capability of microcavities to
control chemical processes, the extent to which photonic devices change
properties of molecular materials is still unclear, in part due to challenges
in modeling hybrid light-matter excitations delocalized over many length
scales. We overcome these challenges for a photonic wire under strong coupling
with a molecular ensemble. Our simulations provide a detailed picture of the
effect of photonic wires on spectral and transport properties of a disordered
molecular material. We find stronger changes to the probed molecular
observables when the cavity is redshifted relative to the molecules and
energetic disorder is weak. These trends are expected to hold also in
higher-dimensional cavities, but are not captured with theories that only
include a single cavity-mode. Therefore, our results raise important issues for
future experiments and model building focused on unraveling new ways to
manipulate chemistry with optical cavities.

Existing diffusion-based generative methods on de novo 3D molecule generation face two major challenges.
We introduce a Dual-Track Transformer Network (DTN) to fully excevate global spatial relationships and learn high quality representations.
As for the second challenge, we design Geometric-Facilitated Loss (GFLoss) which intervenes the formation of bonds during the training period, instead of directly embedding edges into the latent space.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

Casimir forces, related to London-van der Waals forces, arise if the spectrum of electromagnetic fluctuations is restricted by boundaries.
We experimentally investigate the influence of self-assembled molecular bio and organic thin films on the Casimir force between a plate and a sphere.
We find that molecular thin films, despite being a mere few nanometers thick, reduce the Casimir force by up to 14%.

We show that, at large photo-doping, the exciton gas undergoes an excitonic Mott transition, which fully realizes the magnetic-field-driven insulator-to-metal transition described by the Hubbard model.
Our results demonstrate that time-resolved experiments span a parameter region of the Hubbard model in which long-range and phase-coherent orders emerge out of a doped Mott insulating phase.

polaritonic phenomena emerging in light-matter interaction regime have proven to be difficult tasks.
The accurate treatment of the vibrational spectrum of the former is key, and simplified quantum models are not valid in many cases.
Loss and dissipation, in the form of absorption or radiation, must also be included in the theoretical description of polaritons.

in Cavities [0.0]
We show that as more photon modes are accounted for, physico-chemical phenomena can dramatically change.
As the number of cavity photon modes increases, the increasing deviation of these surfaces from the cavity-free Born-Oppenheimer surfaces, together with the interplay between photon emission and absorption inside the widening bands of these surfaces, leads to enhanced suppression.
