First principles methods can provide insight into materials that is otherwise impossible to acquire. Density Functional Theory (DFT) has been the first principles method of choice for numerous applications, but it falls short of predicting…

The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density-functional theory (DFT) is broadly considered the conceptual basis for a full characterization of an electronic system in its ground state by just the one-body particle density. In this Part~II of a…
Time dependent quantum systems are the subject of intense inquiry, in mathematics, science, and engineering, particularly at the atomic and molecular levels. In 1984, Runge and Gross introduced time dependent density functional theory…
We introduce natural atomic orbitals as the local projector to define the correlated subspace for DFT + DMFT (density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory) calculation. The natural atomic orbitals are found to be stably…
The widely-used Kohn-Sham implementation of density functional theory (DFT) maps a system of interacting electrons onto an auxiliary non-interacting one and is presumably inaccurate for strongly correlated materials. We present a concrete…
