What does it sound like when you stick a molecule between two mirrors? Modal jazz, apparently! Jay guides Dugan through the world of polaritonic chemistry, where coupling between molecules and cavity modes can have some astonishing effects on the trajectories of photochemical and even non-photochemical reactions. We discuss the past, present, and future of this emerging field, including Jay's latest publication in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
