Description
The theoretical description of molecular polaritons and their properties is still subject to many open questions. In the past years we studied a variety of effects, such as dissipation, to determine its influence on the photochemistry. More recently we have implement Hartree-Fock with the cavity Born-Oppenheimer approximation to investigate the multi-molecule effects in the electronic ground state. Here, we have identified the dipole self energy contributions as a new mechanism to mediate inter-molecular interactions.
