TL;DR: The theory of molecular quantum electrodynamics and its application to a number of intermolecular interactions have been successfully applied to numerous radiationmolecule and molecule-molecules processes as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Claims of non-physicality are refuted: the PZW transformation and ensuing Hamiltonian are shown to rest on solid physical principles and secure theoretical ground.

TL;DR: In this article, an accurate calculation of the energy differences between stationary points on the torsional potential energy surface of n-pentane is performed using ab initio Hartree-Fock theory, advanced many-body methods such as MP2, MP3, CCSD, and MPW1K, together with density functional theory, and basis sets of increasing size.

TL;DR: A general expression is derived for the matrix element for the resonant transfer of energy between an initially excited donor species and an acceptor moiety in the ground state, with each entity possessing an electric multipole moment of arbitrary order.

TL;DR: A rigorous non-relativistic formulation of this theory applicable to atoms and molecules has also been developed and applied with outstanding success to a number of processes of interest to chemical physicists, being most commonly explicated for a system of charged particles coupled to the electromagnetic field with the latter second quantized.
