Controlling light-matter interaction with molecular vibrations in mid-infrared resonators

On September 7th at 15:00 (CLT, GMT/UTC -4 hours) Dr. Felipe Herrera from Universidad de Santiago de Chile will give a webinar about molecular ensembles in confined infrared (IR) fields as a promising platform for condensed-phase cavity QED at room temperature. The demonstration of strong and ultrastrong coupling regimes with molecular vibrations in Fabry-Perot cavities have stimulated the development of scalable architectures for IR quantum optics at the nanoscale. His work offers microscopic design strategies for quantum state preparation and control with emitter-nanocavity hybrids using infrared quantum optics (for further details see abstract and visit his homepage[Herrera lab]).

Interested in attending the webinar please write an email to qcmm[at]udec.cl asking for the zoom link of the webinar.

Abstract: Molecular ensembles in confined infrared (IR) fields have emerged as a promising platform for condensed-phase cavity QED at room temperature [1]. The demonstration of strong and ultrastrong coupling regimes with molecular vibrations in Fabry-Perot cavities have stimulated the development of scalable architectures for IR quantum optics also at the nanoscale. We develop a Markovian open quantum system approach to study the dynamics of molecular vibrations in infrared nanocavities under femtosecond pulse driving. By comparing with recent nanoprobe spectroscopy data on polymer-coated IR gold antennas as test cases [2,3], we successfully describe the time-domain signatures of the crossover from weak to strong coupling regimes. Our model also provides mechanistic insights on the conditions needed for implementing coherent π/2 phase-space rotations of the nanocavity field using a tip nanoprobe. Our work thus offers microscopic design strategies for quantum state preparation and control with emitter-nanocavity hybrids using infrared quantum optics.
