Abstract
We compare theoretical techniques utilized for description of optical response in molecular junctions, and their application to simulate Raman spectroscopy in such systems. Strong and weak sides of the Hilbert vs. Liouville space, as well as quasiparticles vs. many-body states, formulations are discussed. Common origins of the methodologies and different approximations utilized in different formulations are identified.
