Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Control of Strong Coupling in Plasmonic Nanocavities

In the light−matter strong coupling regime, the excited state of quantum emitters is inextricably linked to a photonic mode, leading to hybrid states that are part light and part matter. Recently, there has been a huge effort to realize strong coupling with nanoplasmonics, since it provides a ver...
