Molecular polaritons arise when molecules interact so strongly with light that they become entangled each other. This light–matter hybridization alters the chemical and physical properties of molecular system allows reactions to be controlled without use external fields. We investigate impact strong coupling on electronic structure using perturbative approaches demonstrate Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory can reproduce ground state energies in optical cavities comparable accuracy as ab initio cavity quantum electrodynamics methodologies for currently relevant strengths. The method is effective both low high frequency regimes straightforward implement via response functions. Furthermore, we establish simple relations between cavity-induced intermolecular forces van der Waals forces. These findings provide valuable insight into manipulation ground-state polaritonic energy landscapes, shedding systems conditions which modifications achieved.
