Molecular optomechanics in atomic-scale plasmonic hot spots

摘要

We introduce a Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) approach to describe inelastic scattering processes of molecules in atomic-scale plasmonic picocavities. By solving the corresponding optomechanical dynamics, we identify nonlinear inelastic signals related to vibrational pumping, together with dynamical backaction and strong correlations of the photons emitted.
