The classic density-functional theory (DFT) formalism introduced by Hohenberg, Kohn, and
Sham in the mid-1960s is based on the idea that the complicated N-electron wave function …

Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) describes the quantum dynamics of
interacting electronic many-body systems formally exactly and in a practical and efficient …

This book emerged from a course on density functional theory (DFT), first given at the
University of Munich more than a decade ago. The course was based on the classic texts by …

In the thirty-two years since the birth of the foundational theorems, time-dependent density
functional theory has had a tremendous impact on calculations of electronic spectra and …

Electronic excitations lie at the origin of most of the commonly measured spectra. However,
the first-principles computation of excited states requires a larger effort than ground-state …

Collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces are well known to play a key role in a wide
spectrum of science, ranging from physics and materials science to biology. Here we focus …

accurate quantitative predictions for the optical response of noble-metal nanoparticles …

Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) has become a well-established part of
the modern theoretical chemist's toolbox for treating electronic excited states. Yet, though …

Real-time electronic structure methods provide an unprecedented view of electron dynamics
