Induced currents in large molecular and condensed matter systems are non-negligible and can affect the conductivity and the optical properties of the system. In the present work, we have implemented the real-time propagation of Maxwell’s equations in Riemann-Silberstein representation to use standard unitary propagation techniques in the TDDFT code octopus [1]. The Maxwell and the Kohn-Sham system are coupled via a predictor-corrector method to obtain a self-consistent time-evolution of the total system [2]. Explicitely solving the microscopic Maxwell’s equations also allows us to determine the optical properties of the system directly from the Maxwell fields. We show near-field effects of a full Maxwell-matter and matter-Maxwell coupling for plasmon excitations in metallic nanoparticles [2,3] and for ring-currents in organic molecules [2].
