We propose and work out a reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) for calculating energies of eigenstates of interacting many-electron systems beyond the ground state. Various obstacles which historically have doomed such an…
A mathematical framework for reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) is proposed. The work is inspired by and generalizes the work by E.H.~Lieb [E.H. Lieb, Int. J. Quant. Chem. 24(1983), pp.243--277] on density-functional theory…
Density functional theory constitutes the workhorse of modern electronic structure calculations due to its favourable computational cost despite the fact that it usually fails to describe strongly correlated systems. A particularly…
We initiate the recently proposed $\boldsymbol{w}$-ensemble one-particle reduced density matrix functional theory ($\boldsymbol{w}$-RDMFT) by deriving the first functional approximations and illustrate how excitation energies can be…
Density functional theory (DFT), the most widely adopted method in modern computational chemistry, fails to describe accurately the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems. Here we show that DFT can be formally and practically…
Density functional theory (DFT), one of the most widely utilized methods available to computational chemistry, fails to describe systems with statically correlated electrons. To address this shortcoming, in previous work we transformed DFT…

Density functional theory (DFT) is an indispensable ab initio method in both quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics. Based on recent advancements in reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT), a variant of DFT that is believed…
In this review we provide a rigorous and self-contained presentation of one-body reduced density-matrix (1RDM) functional theory. We do so for the case of a finite basis set, where density-functional theory (DFT) implicitly becomes a 1RDM…
The Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory (RDMFT) is a remarkable tool for studying properties of ground states of strongly interacting quantum many body systems. As it gives access to the one-particle reduced density matrix of the…
As a new approach to efficiently describe correlation effects in the relativistic quantum world we propose to consider reduced density matrix functional theory, where the key quantity is the first-order reduced density matrix (1-RDM). In…
A density functional theory (DFT) of lattice fermion models is presented, which uses the single-particle density matrix gamma_{ij} as basic variable. A simple, explicit approximation to the interaction-energy functional W[gamma] of the…
A crucial theorem in Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory (RDMFT) suggests that the universal pure and ensemble functional coincide on their common domain of pure N-representable one-matrices. We refute this by a comprehensive analysis…
For translationally invariant one-band lattice models, we exploit the ab initio knowledge of the natural orbitals to simplify reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT). Striking underlying features are discovered: First, within each…
Recently, we introduced (e-print arXiv:1407.7128) {\em local reduced density matrix functional theory} (local RDMFT), a theoretical scheme capable of incorporating static correlation effects in Kohn-Sham equations. Here, we apply local…
One-body reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) provides an alternative to Density Functional Theory (DFT), able to treat static correlation while keeping a relatively low computation scaling. Its disadvantageous cost comes mainly…
