• Abstract: Vibrational polaritons are formed by strong coupling of molecular vibrations and photon modes in an optical cavity. Experiments have demonstrated that vibrational strong coupling can change molecular properties and even affect chemical reactivity. However, the interactions in a molecular ensemble are complex, and the exact mechanisms that lead to modifications are not fully understood yet. We simulate two-dimensional infrared spectra of molecular vibrational polaritons based on the double quantum coherence technique to gain further insight into the complex many-body structure of these hybrid light-matter states. Double quantum coherence uniquely resolves the excitation of hybrid light-matter polaritons and allows to directly probe the anharmonicities of the resulting states. By combining the cavity Born-Oppenheimer Hartree-Fock ansatz with a full quantum dynamics simulation of the corresponding eigenstates, we go beyond simplified model systems. This allows us to study the influence of self-polarization and the response of the electronic structure to the cavity interaction on the spectral features even beyond the single-molecule case.

  We develop here the semiclassical theory of molecular-vibration-polariton dynamics based on the truncated Wigner approximation (TWA) The validity of TWA is examined by comparing it with the fully quantum dynamics of a single-molecule system. The collective and resonance effects of molecular-vibration-polariton formation on the nuclear dynamics are observed in a system of many molecules.

• Dissipative stabilization of maximal entanglement between non-identical emitters via two-photon excitation [49.1574468325115]
  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  Molecular vibrations couple to visible light only weakly, have small mutual interactions, and hence are often ignored for non-linear optics. We show the extreme confinement provided by plasmonic nano- and pico-cavities can sufficiently enhance optomechanical coupling.

  Dipole-coupled subwavelength quantum emitter arrays respond cooperatively to external light fields as they may host collective excitations with super- or subradiant character. We provide analytical and numerical results on the modification of super- and subradiance in molecular rings of dipoles. We extend previous predictions for the generation of coherent light from ideal quantum emitters to molecular emitters, quantifying the role of vibronic coupling onto the output intensity and coherence.

  We investigate the exciton complexes photoluminescence, dynamics and photon statistics in the concurrent strong weak coupling regime. We demonstrate the strong and weak coupling can coexist dynamically, as a form of intermediate regime mediated by phonon scattering. This study suggests our device has potential for new and subtle cavity quantum electrodynamical phenomena, cavity enhanced indistinguishable single photon generation, and cluster state generation via the exciton-photon complexes for quantum networks.

  We report on experiments using molecular transitions in a strongly interacting Fermi gas, directly coupling cavity photons to pairs of atoms. The dependence of the pair-polariton spectrum on interatomic interactions is universal, independent of the transition used.

  We experimentally demonstrate a chiral cavity QED system with multiple atoms strongly coupled to a Fabry-Perot cavity. By polarizing the internal quantum state of the atoms, the time-reversal symmetry of the atom-cavity interaction is broken. The strongly coupled atom-cavity system can be described by non-reciprocal quasiparticles, i.e., the cavity polariton.
