Abstract
The authors discuss the interplay between electronic, localized vibrational, phononic and photonic degrees of freedom in open solid-state molecular systems, based on the temporal stochastic evolution of molecular quantities. The formalism predicts vibrationally protected collective states for closely spaced molecules and quantifies the imprint of molecular and crystal vibrations onto the interaction with confined light fields.
