Abstract
I will show why and how we have used quantum electrodynamical density functional theory (QEDFT) to model equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of a two-dimensional electron gas of an array of quantum dots in a GaAs heterostructure and a far-infrared (FIR) photon microcavity. The results predict changes to the orbital magnetization and a red-shift various excitation modes of the 2DEG depending on the number of electrons in a dot, the electron-photon coupling, and the strength of the magnetic field.
I will outline how the results, and the comparison to our earlier CI (configuration interaction) approach for small electron-photon systems is leading us in a direction to describe the electron photon interaction beyond DFT.
