Quantum states in different molecules can be hybridized by strong light-matter interaction. Here we present strategies that employ such coupling to enable photochemistry involving remotely separated species. First, we show how polariton-assisted remote energy transfer (PARET) across hundreds of nanometers occurs when surface plasmons strongly interact with both donor and acceptor chromophores. We then propose a remote control of chemistry whereby photoexcitation of molecules in one optical microcavity influences the photoinduced reactivity of molecules in another microcavity.
