Description
We derived and implemented relativistic QEDFT in linear response regime. The electrons are treated at the four-component Dirac–Kohn–Sham level of theory and coupled to transverse photons treated as dynamical variables. We show that light–matter coupling can enhance the strength of usually weak singlet–triplet transitions via a new type of spin–orbit interaction mediated by cavity photons.
