abstract
Like many areas of astrophysics and cosmology, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will be transformational for almost all the applications of strong lensing, thanks to the dramatic increase in the number of known strong lenses by two orders of magnitude or more and the readily available time-domain data for the lenses with transient sources. In this article, we provide an overview of the forecasted number of discovered lenses of different types and describe the primary science cases these large lens samples will enable. We provide an updated forecast on the joint constraint for the dark energy equation-of-state parameters, $w_0$ and $w_a$, from combining all strong lensing probes of dark energy. We update the previous forecast from the Rubin Observatory Dark Energy Science Collaboration's Science Review Document by adding two new crucial strong lensing samples: lensed Type Ia supernovae and single-deflector lenses with measured stellar kinematics. Finally, we describe the current and near-future activities and collaborative efforts within the strong lensing community in preparation for the arrival of the first real dataset from Rubin in early 2026.

Forecasting Constraints on Cosmology and Modified Gravitational-wave Propagation by Combining Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves and Galaxy Surveys
Simulated doubly lensed gravitational-wave events matched to galaxy surveys give a forecasted H0 precision of 0.42% with next-generation detectors.

JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey IV: Stringent warm dark matter constraints from the joint reconstruction of extended lensed arcs and quasar flux ratios
Adding extended lensed arcs to quasar flux ratios in 28 JWST lenses tightens the dark-matter free-streaming limit to m_hm < 10^7.4 M⊙ (galacticus prior) and gives the most precise lensing measurement of subhalo abundance.

Strong-lensing Perturber Signatures in Self-interacting Dark Matter Simulations
Core-collapsed self-interacting dark matter halos in the Concerto simulations reach high enough central densities to match the perturbing masses inferred in J0946, B1938, SDP.81, and SPT2147-50.

Analyzing Line-of-sight selection biases in galaxy-scale strong lensing with external convergence and shear
A hybrid simulation method predicts line-of-sight convergence and shear distributions for strong lenses, showing that neglecting them biases inferred Hubble constant values by up to about one percent.
