Collective light-matter interactions have been used to control chemistry and energy transfer, yet accessible approaches that combine ab initio methodology with large many-body quantum optical systems are missing due to the fast increase in computational cost for explicit simulations. We introduce such an accessible ab initio quantum embedding concept for many-body quantum optical systems that allows us to treat the collective coupling of molecular many-body systems effectively in the spirit of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics while keeping the rigor of ab initio quantum chemistry for the molecular structure [1]. We illustrate the underlying assumptions by comparison to the Tavis-Cummings model and highlight the importance of Coulombic interactions between emitter and solvent molecules, as well as their potential interplay in collective strong coupling [2].
