ManipULation of photoinduced processes bY reshaping tranSition StatEs via transient Strong coupling

Photochemistry is a branch of chemistry that involves the study of chemical reactions that are induced by light. It has a range of applications in various industries. It involves the use of external laser stimulation and chemical modification to efficiently manipulate molecules into useful products. The EU-funded ULYSSES project aims to revolutionise the field of photochemistry by developing a novel chemical process that utilises light to enable efficient and accurate real-time manipulation and chemical control of molecules, leading to countless possibilities for innovation. The key innovation in the project is the introduction of transient polaritonic control, which makes use of polaritons that are activated on demand in optical nanocavities.
