Polaritonic coupled-cluster theory

We develop coupled-cluster theory for systems of electrons strongly coupled to photons, providing a promising theoretical tool in polaritonic chemistry with a perspective of application to all types of fermion-boson coupled systems. We show benchmark results for model molecular Hamiltonians coupled...

description We develop coupled-cluster theory for systems of electrons strongly coupled to photons, providing a promising theoretical tool in polaritonic chemistry with a perspective of application to all types of fermion-boson coupled systems. We show benchmark results for model molecular Hamiltonians coupled to cavity photons. By comparing to full configuration interaction results for various ground-state properties and optical spectra, we demonstrate that our method captures all key features present in the exact reference, including Rabi splittings and multiphoton processes. Furthermore, a path on how to incorporate our bosonic extension of coupled-cluster theory into existing quantum chemistry programs is given.
