Quantum electrodynamics of nanostructures — •Walter Tarantino, J. K. Dewhurst, S. Sharma, and E. K. U. Gross — Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Weinberg 2, D-06120 Halle, Germany

The project is aimed to develop a time-dependent functional theory for quantum electrodynamics. We want to establish a Kohn-Sham system for relativistic electrons, as well as positrons and photons. Apart from representing the natural generalization of the usual non-relativistic many-body problem, the approach will provide us with a novel instrument for computational investigations of the interaction between light and matter. Details about preliminary results on KS systems and the effective (exchange-correlation) potentials will be presented.
