The research group of Prof. Hiroaki Misawa, Prof. Keiji Sasaki (Hokkaido Univ.), Associate prof. Tomoya Oshikiri (Tohoku Univ.), and Prof. Hajime Ishihara(Osaka Univ.) reported quantum-coherence-enhanced hot-electron injection under modal strong coupling. This quantum-coherence interaction is supported by a theoretical model. Based on these results, applying quantum coherence to photochemical reaction systems is expected to effectively enhance reaction efficiencies.
