Resonant catalysis of thermally activated chemical reactions with vibrational polaritons
Strong coupling of molecular vibrations to an optical cavity may catalyze thermally activated reactions, showcasing the potential of polariton chemistry. Here, the authors provide a theoretical framework explaining the chemical kinetics deriving from transit through polaritonic and dark states.
