Vacuum Rabi splitting of a dark plasmonic cavity mode revealed by fast electrons

Dark plasmonic modes fare better in some applications due to longer lifetimes but, being subradiant, are difficult to probe. The authors apply electron energy loss spectroscopy to demonstrate that a dark mode of a plasmonic cavity can couple with a few quantum emitters to exhibit vacuum Rabi splitti...
