Following the formulation of cavity quantum electrodynamical time-dependent density functional theory (cQED-TDDFT) models [Flick et al., ACS Photonics 6, 2757-2778 (2019); Yang et al., J. Chem. Phys. 155, 064107 (2021)], here we report the derivation and implementation of the analytic energy gradient for the polaritonic states of a single photochrome within the cQED-TDDFT models. Such gradient evaluation is also applicable to a complex of explicitly-specified photochromes, or, with proper scaling, a set of parallel-oriented, identical-geometry, non-interacting molecules in the microcavity.

We present the implementation of excited state Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) using a polarizable QM/MM approach based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) formulation and the AMOEBA force field.

<p>We thoroughly benchmark time-dependent density- functional theory for the predictive calculation of UV/Vis spectra of porphyrin derivatives. With the aim to provide an approach that is computationally feasible for large-scale applications such as biological systems or molecular framework materials, albeit performing with high accuracy for the Q-bands, we compare the results given by various computational protocols, including basis sets, density-functionals (including gradient corrected local functionals, hybrids, double hybrids and range-separated functionals), and various variants of time-dependent density-functional theory, including the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation. An excellent choice for these calculations is the range-separated functional CAM-B3LYP in combination with the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation and a basis set of double-ζ quality def2-SVP (mean absolute error [MAE] of ~0.05 eV). This is not surpassed by more expensive approaches, not even by double hybrid functionals, and solely systematic excitation energy scaling slightly improves the results (MAE ~0.04 eV). </p>
