Summary

Collective molecular rotations now generate cat states with a coupling strength enhanced by a factor of √N, a collective effect previously unobserved. This theoretical derivation establishes the first explicit Krylov bright-manifold construction for rotor-cavity coupling. Consequently, a new pathway to hybrid light-matter quantum states has opened, utilising intrinsic molecular properties rather than fabricated components.
