The key element in time-dependent density functional theory is the one-to-one correspondence between the one-particle density and the external potential. In most approaches this mapping is transformed into a certain type of Sturm-Liouville…

In this work we review the mapping from densities to potentials in quantum mechanics, which is the basic building block of time-dependent density-functional theory and the Kohn-Sham construction. We first present detailed conditions such…

For a certain class of open quantum systems there exists a dynamical symmetry which connects different time-evolved density matrices. We show how to use this symmetry for dynamics in the Liouville space with time-dependent parameters. This…

We consider a class of self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville problems with rational functions of the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions. The uniform stability for direct and inverse spectral problems is proved for the first time for…

We introduce a new class of Sturm-Liouville operators with periodically modulated parameters. Their spectral properties depend on the monodromy matrix of the underlying periodic problem computed for the spectral parameter equal to $0$.…

The mapping of time-dependent densities on potentials in quantum mechanics is critically examined. The issue is of significance ever since Runge and Gross (Phys. Rev. Lett. 52, 997 (1984)) established the uniqueness of the mapping, forming…

We explore whether quantum field theory can be understood as the statistical mechanics of a time-reversal-invariant stochastic generalization of Hamiltonian dynamics. The motivation for this project, started with this paper, is to assign…

The dynamics of many open quantum systems are described by stochastic master equations. In the discrete-time case, we recall the structure of the derived quantum filter governing the evolution of the density operator conditioned to the…

We clarify some misunderstandings on the time-dependent current density functional theory for open quantum systems we have recently introduced [M. Di Ventra and R. D'Agosta, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 98}, 226403 (2007)]. We also show that some…
