Orbital-free Density Functional Theory (OF-DFT) has been used when studying atoms, molecules and solids. In nuclear physics, there has been basically no application of OF-DFT so far, as the Density Functional Theory (DFT) has been widely…

The Fermi surface is an abstract object in the reciprocal space of a crystal lattice, enclosing the set of all those electronic band states that are filled according to the Pauli principle. Its topology is dictated by the underlying lattice…

Density Functional Theory has long struggled to obtain the exact exchange-correlational (XC) functional. Numerous approximations have been designed with the hope of achieving chemical accuracy. However, designing a functional involves…

A combination of $^{19}$F magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and density functional theory (DFT) were used to study the ordering of F atoms in Pb$_2$Ti$_4$O$_9$F$_2$. This analysis revealed that F atoms…
The current work presents a natural orbital functional (NOF) for electronic systems with any spin value independent of the external potential being considered, that is, a global NOF (GNOF). It is based on a new two-index reconstruction of…
We present a reduced density operator for electronically open molecules by explicitly averaging over the environmental degrees of freedom of the composite Hamiltonian. Specifically, we include the particle-number non-conserving…
Lazy quantum walks were presented by Andrew M. Childs to prove that the continuous-time quantum walk is a limit of the discrete-time quantum walk [Commun.Math.Phys.294,581-603(2010)]. In this paper, we discuss properties of lazy quantum…
We suggest to include the density of electron charge explicitly in the electron potential of density functional theory, rather than implicitly via exchange-correlation functionals. The advantages of the approach are conceptual and…
The emergent integrability of the many-body localized phase is naturally understood in terms of localized quasiparticles. As a result, the occupations of the one-particle density matrix in eigenstates show a Fermi-liquid-like discontinuity.…
