Abstract
Strong light-matter interactions between confined vacuum fields and matter can lead to the formation of hybridized states called polaritons. In the terahertz (THz) region, these interactions can involve the coupling of vibrational molecular bonds with the resonant mode of a planar optical cavity. We demonstrate an alternative architecture to explore the strong light-matter regime by coupling the plasmonic mode of a metasurface with the sharp vibrational resonance of glucose. More specifically, we gradually increase the number of glucose molecules covering the metasurface and observe a red shift of the plasmonic resonance with a Rabi splitting of 90 GHz at zero detuning. This work is a first step towards the investigation of more complex hybrid cavity architectures combining planar mirrors and metasurfaces to explore multiple polaritonic interactions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
