Area of Science:

  • Quantum optics and condensed matter physics
  • Nanophotonics and materials science

Background:

  • Deep strong light-matter coupling fundamentally alters material properties by exceeding transition energies.
  • Previously, electronic excitations have not achieved this strong coupling with free-space photons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate deep strong coupling between plasmonic nanoparticles and photons under ambient conditions.
  • To explore the resulting polaritons and their impact on light-matter interaction.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of face-centred cubic crystals of gold nanoparticles with specific size and gap ratios.
  • Experimental measurement of Rabi frequencies and plasmon energies.
  • Theoretical analysis of photon-plasmon hybridization and polariton behavior.

Main Results:

  • Achieved deep strong coupling with experimental Rabi frequencies exceeding plasmon energy by up to 180%.
  • Observed hybridization of photons and plasmons into polaritons that violate the rotating-wave approximation.
  • Demonstrated breakdown of the Purcell effect and increased radiative polariton lifetime.

Conclusions:

  • Three-dimensional plasmonic nanoparticle crystals enable deep strong light-matter coupling at ambient conditions.
  • This opens avenues for new materials with extreme light-matter interaction for nonlinear optics and quantum technologies.
  • Potential applications include polariton chemistry and the search for novel quantum states.
