Energy-efficient pathway for selectively exciting solute molecules to high vibrational states via solvent vibration-polariton pumping

Hybrid light-matter states formed in the strong light-matter coupling regime can alter the molecular ground-state reactivity. Here, Li et al. computationally demonstrate that pumping a collection of solvent molecules forming hybrid vibrational light-matter states in an optical cavity can excite solu...
