Cavity frequency-dependent theory for vibrational polariton chemistry

Vibrational strong coupling controls the ground-state reactivity of molecules in optical cavities, but the underlying theory is still elusive. The authors analyze a molecular system coupled to a cavity mode and find that the reaction rate is suppressed for a particular cavity frequency, related to t...
