• Title: Dynamic of Single Molecules in Collective Light-Matter States from First Principles
• Authors: Christian Sch\"afer
• Abstract summary: coherent interaction of a large collection of molecules with a common photonic mode results in strong light-matter coupling. I introduce a simple approach to capture the collective nature while retaining the full ab initio representation of single molecules. I illustrate that the influence of collective strong coupling on chemical reactions features a nontrivial dependence on the number of emitters.

• Abstract: The coherent interaction of a large collection of molecules with a common photonic mode results in strong light-matter coupling, a feature that proved highly beneficial for chemistry and termed the research topics polaritonic and QED chemistry. Considering complex microscopic chemical reactions in combination with a macroscopic number of molecules renders existing ab initio approaches inapplicable. In this work, I introduce a simple approach to capture the collective nature while retaining the full ab initio representation of single molecules. By embedding the majority of the molecular ensemble into the dyadic Green tensor, we obtain a computationally cheap and intuitive description of the dynamic of a single molecule in the ensemble - an approach that seems ideal for polaritonic chemistry. The introduced embedding radiation-reaction potential is thoroughly discussed, including prospects, applications and limitations. A first application demonstrates the linear response of single molecules that are part of a larger ensembles of molecules. Then, by virtue of a simple proton-tunneling model, I illustrate that the influence of collective strong coupling on chemical reactions features a nontrivial dependence on the number of emitters. Bridging classical electrodynamics, quantum optical descriptions and the ab initio description of realistic molecules, this work can serve as guiding light for future developments and investigations in the quickly growing fields of QED chemistry and QED material design.

  A fundamental question emerges: what role, if any, do quantum coherences between molecular electron states play in photochemical reactions? The Maximal Entropy (MaxEnt) based Quantum State Tomography (QST) approach offers unique advantages in studying molecular dynamics. We present two methodologies for constructing these operators: one leveraging Molecular Angular Distribution Moments (MADMs) which accurately capture the orientation-dependent vibronic dynamics of molecules. We achieve a groundbreaking milestone by constructing, for the first time, the entanglement entropy of the electronic subsystem: a metric that was previously inaccessible.

  Molecular polaritons are hybrid states of photonic and molecular character that form when molecules strongly interact with light. We focus on the collective aspects of strongly coupled molecular systems and how this pertains to the dynamical response of such systems. We discuss how the ultrafast time and spectral resolution make pump-probe spectroscopy an ideal tool to reveal the energy transfer pathways from polariton states to other molecular states of functional interest.

  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.
