Collective Electronic Entanglement via Infrared Cavity-Induced Vibronic Transduction

Polaritonic architectures seek to engineer molecular properties by hybridizing localized degrees of freedom with delocalized optical cavity fields.

However, scaling laws impose a severe bottleneck on N-molecule collective strong coupling: because each molecule contributes only a fractional share to the collective state, localized responses undergo O(1/N) ensemble dilution.

We demonstrate a violation of this scaling using fluorescence-encoded infrared spectroscopy of molecular ensembles under vibrational strong coupling, where macroscopically synchronized electronic responses scale as O(1).

This scale-invariance reveals a regime of vibronic quantum transduction, where non-local vibrational entanglement is translated into collective electronic entanglement.

By demonstrating the generation of macroscopically entangled electronic states from vibro-polaritons without an O(1/N) penalty, these results provide a scalable framework for room-temperature quantum technologies and coherent steering of non-adiabatic chemical pathways.
