Quantum electrodynamical time-dependent density functional theory on a lattice — •Mehdi Farzanehpour1 and Ilya Tokatly1,2 — 1Nano-Bio Spectroscopy group and ETSF Scientic Development Centre, Departamento de Fisica de Materiales, Universidad del Pais Vasco UPV/EHU, E-20018 San Sebastian, Spain — 2IKERBASQUE, Basque Foundation for Science, E-48011 Bilbao, Spain
We present a rigorous formulation of the time-dependent density functional theory for interacting lattice electrons strongly coupled to cavity photons. We start with an example of one particle on a Hubbard dimer coupled to a single photonic mode, which is equivalent to the single mode spin-boson model or the quantum Rabi model. For this system we prove that the electron-photon wave function is a unique functional of the electronic density and the expectation value of the photonic coordinate, provided the initial state and the density satisfy a set of well defined conditions. Then we generalize the formalism to many interacting electrons on a lattice coupled to multiple photonic modes and prove the general mapping theorem. We also show that for a system evolving from the ground state of a lattice Hamiltonian any density with a continuous second time derivative is locally v-representable.
