Info

The third edition of Molecular Polaritonics will be held in Miraflores de la Sierra, Spain, from September 21 to September 25, 2025.

Organizers

• Paloma Arroyo Huidobro, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain
• Johannes Feist, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain
• Claudiu Genes, TU Darmstadt, Germany
• Costanza Toninelli, LENS, European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy, Florence, Italy

Introduction

This workshop will bring together researchers with expertise in light-matter interactions, with a particular focus on molecular polaritonics. It will cover topics such as quantum optics & open quantum systems, quantum chemistry, condensed matter & many-body physics, and macroscopic QED. The goal is to facilitate communication among different fields and between theory and experiment, as well as to assess and discuss current and possible future applications and technological promises of molecular polaritonics. The workshop will be held in a highly interactive format, with ample time for discussions and informal interactions.

In addition, this workshop aims at providing a model for gender balanced workshops and strives to ease the participation of participants accompanied by children by providing local childcare and covering travel costs for accompanying children.

This year’s edition is the third one following the success of Molecular Polaritonics 2019 in Miraflores de la Sierra, Spain, and Molecular Polaritonics 2022 in Straubing, Germany.
