Modified relaxation dynamics and coherent energy exchange in coupled vibration-cavity polaritons

Vibration-cavity polaritons are mixed states produced by strong coupling between a vibrational mode and an optical cavity. Here, the authors show that these polaritons can coherently exchange energy and exhibit drastically altered transient spectra and dynamics compared to uncoupled vibrations.
