Non-Equilibrium Rate Theory for Polariton Relaxation Dynamics

We derive an analytic expression of the non-equilibrium Fermi's golden rule (NE-FGR) expression for a Holstein-Tavis-Cumming Hamiltonian, a universal model for many molecules collectively coupled to the optical cavity. These NE-FGR expressions capture the full-time-dependent behavior of the rate constant for transitions from polariton states to dark states. The rate... Show more
