Interactions between a single emitter and cavity provide the archetypical system for fundamental quantum electrodynamics. Here we show that a single molecule of Atto647 aligned using DNA origami interacts coherently with a sub-wavelength plasmonic nanocavity, approaching the cooperative regime even at room temperature. Power-dependent pulsed excitation reveals Rabi oscillations, arising from the coupling of the oscillating electric field between the ground and excited states. The observed single-molecule fluorescent emission is split into two modes resulting from anti-crossing with the plasmonic mode, indicating the molecule is strongly coupled to the cavity. The second-order correlation function of the photon emission statistics is found to be pump wavelength dependent, varying from g(0) = 0.4 to 1.45, highlighting the influence of vibrational relaxation on the Jaynes-Cummings ladder. Our results show that cavity quantum electrodynamic effects can be observed in molecular systems at ambient conditions, opening significant potential for device applications.

Classically, the refractive index of a medium is due to a response on said medium from an electromagnetic field. It has been shown that a single two-level atom interacting with a single photon undergoes dispersion. The following extends that analyses to a three-level system interacting with two photons.

Recent experiments have shown that exciton transport can be significantly enhanced through hybridization with confined photonic modes in a cavity. The light-matter hybridization generates exciton-polariton (EP) bands, whose group velocity is significantly larger than the excitons. Dissipative mechanisms that affect the constituent states of EPs, such as exciton-phonon coupling and cavity loss, have been observed to reduce the group velocities in experiments.

We present a generalization of the phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) method to cavity quantum-electrodynamical (QED) matter systems. The method can be formulated in both the Coulomb and the dipole gauge. We verify its accuracy by benchmarking calculations on a set of small molecules against full configuration interaction and state-of-the-art QED coupled cluster (QED-CCSD) calculations.

We investigate the quantum correlation between light and matter in bipartite quantum systems, drawing on the Jaynes-Cummings model and the Tavis-Cummings model, which are well-established in cavity quantum electrodynamics. Through the resolution of the quantum master equation, we can derive the dissipative dynamics in open systems. To assess the extent of quantum correlation, several measures are introduced: von Neumann entropy, concurrence and quantum discord.
