Shining light on the microscopic resonant mechanism responsible for cavity-mediated chemical reactivity

Hybridization of dark optical cavity modes with vibrational states of molecules can alter chemical reactions. Here, the authors use ab-initio methods to shine light on the associated mechanism and highlight the role of the optical mode to redistribute the vibrational energy.
