Abstract

The exact exchange potential in time-dependent density-functional theory is defined as an orbital functional through the time-dependent optimized effective potential (TDOEP) method. We numerically solve the TDOEP integral equation for the real-time nonlinear intersubband electron dynamics in a semiconductor quantum well with two occupied subbands. By comparison with adiabatic approximations, it is found that memory effects in the exact exchange potential become significant when the electron dynamics takes place in the vicinity of intersubband resonances.
