• Abstract summary: We present an ab-initio methodology, based on the cavity Born-Oppenheimer Hartree-Fock ansatz, to calculate vibro-polaritonic IR spectra. Our semi-classical approach, validated against full quantum simulations, reproduces key features of the vibro-polaritonic spectra.

• Abstract: Recent experiments have revealed the profound effect of strong light-matter interactions in optical cavities on the electronic ground state of molecular systems. This phenomenon, known as vibrational strong coupling (VSC), can modify reaction rates and induce the formation of molecular vibrational polaritons, hybrid states involving both photon modes and vibrational modes of molecules. We present an ab-initio methodology, based on the cavity Born-Oppenheimer Hartree-Fock ansatz, which is specifically powerful for ensembles of molecules, to calculate vibro-polaritonic IR spectra. This method allows a comprehensive analysis of these hybrid states. Our semi-classical approach, validated against full quantum simulations, reproduces key features of the vibro-polaritonic spectra. The underlying analytic gradients also pave the way for optimizing cavity-coupled molecular systems and performing semi-classical dynamics simulations

The collective and resonance effects of molecular-vibration-polariton formation on the nuclear dynamics are observed in a system of many molecules.

Here, we investigate several schemes of electromagnetic field confinement aimed at facilitating the collective coupling of a localized photonic mode to molecular vibrations in the terahertz region. More importantly, we demonstrate enhanced vacuum Rabi splittings reaching up to 200 GHz when combining plasmonic resonances, photonic cavity modes and low-energy molecular resonances.

We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
