“…If the dipole operator only depends on a reduced set of coordinates, one may consider them as the primary ones and the remaining as those forming the reservoir (see, e.g., Refs. 5, 6). If a small molecule on a surface, in a solvent, or in a solid‐state matrix is studied, it might also be possible to handle the molecular DOF exclusively as those forming the primary system (cf., e.g., Refs.…”
