Preferential selection of a given enantiomer over its chiral counterpart has become increasingly relevant in the advent of the next era of medical drug design. In parallel, cavity quantum electrodynamics has grown into a solid framework to control energy transfer and chemical reactivity, the latter requiring strong coupling. In this work, we derive an analytical solution to a system of many chiral emitters interacting with a chiral cavity similar to the widely used Tavis-Cummings and Hopfield models of quantum optics. We are able to estimate the discriminating strength of chiral polaritonics, discuss possible future development directions and exciting applications such as elucidating homochirality, and deliver much needed intuition to foster the newly flourishing field of chiral polaritonics.
在手性药物设计的新时代，对给定对映异构体的优先选择比其手性对应物变得越来越重要。与此同时，腔量子电动力学已发展成为控制能量转移和化学反应性的坚实框架，后者需要强耦合。在这项工作中，我们推导出了一个与广泛使用的量子光学的 Tavis-Cummings 和 Hopfield 模型类似的手性腔中许多手性发射器相互作用的系统的解析解。我们能够估计手性极化激元的辨别力，讨论可能的未来发展方向和令人兴奋的应用，例如阐明同手性，并提供急需的直觉，以促进新兴的手性极化激元领域。
