Quantum field theory has applications in chemistry
Quantum field theory, specifically in the form of cavity and molecular quantum electrodynamics, is increasingly applied in chemistry to model polariton states, control reaction pathways, and calculate precise molecular properties.
The provided literature extensively demonstrates the application of quantum field theory concepts—such as cavity quantum electrodynamics, quantum electrodynamical density functional theory, and molecular QED—to chemical systems, polariton chemistry, intermolecular interactions, and reaction control.
