We introduce a generalization of the quantum electrodynamic coupled cluster (QED-CC)wave function ansatz, to describe the strongly coupled light-matter system in an unpolarized optical Fabry-P\'erot cavity. This is achieved by explicitly…
Polarization is one of the key properties defining the state of light. It was discovered in the early 19th century by Brewster, among others, while studying light reflected from materials at different angles. These studies led to the first…
