Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) is one of the powerful computational approaches to study electron correlation effects in solid-state materials and molecules. Its practical applicability is, however, limited by the quantity of numerical…

In traditional finite-temperature Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KSDFT), the well-known orbitals wall restricts the use of first-principles molecular dynamics methods at extremely high temperatures. However, stochastic density…
