Abstract

A unified view on linear response of interacting systems utilizing multicongurational time-dependent Hartree methods is presented. The cases of one-particle and two-particle response operators for identical particles and up to all-system response operators for distinguishable degrees-of-freedom are considered. The working equations for systems of identical bosons (LR-MCTDHB) and identical fermions (LR-MCTDHF), as well for systems of distinguishable particles (LR-MCTDH) are explicitly derived. These linear-response theories provide numerically-exact excitation energies and system's properties, when numerical convergence is achieved in the calculations.
