We reformulate the strong-interaction limit of electronic density functional theory in terms of a classical problem with a degenerate minimum. This allows us to clarify many aspects of this limit, and to write a general solution, which is…
Kohn-Sham density functional theory is the base of modern computational approaches to electronic structures. Their accuracy vitally relies on the exchange-correlation energy functional, which encapsulates electron-electron interaction…
We consider a scenario where interacting electrons confined in quantum dots (QDs) are either too close to be resolved, or we do not wish to apply measurements that resolve them. Then the physical observable is an electron spin only (one…
