We show that a lattice formulation of density-functional theory (DFT), guided by renormalization-group concepts, can be used to obtain numerical predictions of energy gaps, spin-density profiles, critical exponents, sound velocities,…

Classical density functional theory (DFT) is a powerful framework to study inhomogeneous fluids. Its standard form is based on the knowledge of a generating free energy functional. If this is known exactly, then the results obtained by…

We formulate the Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) as a statistical theory in which the electron density is deter-mined from an average of correlated stochastic densities in a trace formula. The key idea is that it is sufficient…

Density functional theory (DFT) is routinely employed in material science and in quantum chemistry to simulate weakly correlated electronic systems. Recently, deep learning (DL) techniques have been adopted to develop promising functionals…

Last year, at least 30,000 scientific papers used the Kohn-Sham scheme of density functional theory to solve electronic structure problems in a wide variety of scientific fields, ranging from materials science to biochemistry to…

We present the self-consistent implementation of current-dependent (hybrid) meta generalized gradient approximation (mGGA) density functionals using London atomic orbitals. A previously proposed generalized kinetic energy density is…

Orbital-free (OF) methods promise significant speed-up of computations based on density functional theory (DFT). In this field, the development of accurate kinetic-energy density functionals remains an open question. In this chapter we…

In contrast to the original Kohn-Sham (KS) formalism, we propose a density functional theory (DFT) with fractional orbital occupations for the study of ground states of many-electron systems, wherein strong static correlation is shown to be…

A relativistic density-functional theory based on a Fock-space effective quantum-electrodynamics (QED) Hamiltonian using the Coulomb or Coulomb-Breit two-particle interaction is developed. This effective QED theory properly includes the…

We analyze the methodology and the performance of subsystem density functional theory (DFT) with meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) exchange-correlation functionals for non-bonded systems. Meta-GGA functionals depend on the…

By introducing the self-energy density functionals for the dissipative interactions between the reduced system and its environment, we develop a time-dependent density-functional theory formalism based on an equation of motion for the…

The relationship between the exact kinetic energy density in a quantum system in the frame of Density Functional Theory and the semiclassical functional expression for the same quantity is investigated. The analysis is performed with Monte…

The construction of meta generalized gradient approximations based on the density matrix expansion (DME) is considered as one of the most accurate technique to design semilocal exchange energy functionals in two-dimensional density…

Understanding the properties of warm dense hydrogen is of key importance for the modeling of compact astrophysical objects and to understand and further optimize inertial confinement fusion (ICF) applications. The work horse of warm dense…

We derive a non-empirical, orbital-free density functional for the total energy of interacting electrons in two dimensions. The functional consists of a local formula for the interaction energy, where we follow the lines introduced by Parr…

We develop a method in which the electronic densities of small fragments determined by Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) are embedded using stochastic DFT to form the exact density of the full system. The new method preserves the…

Orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) is a promising method for large-scale quantum mechanics simulation as it provides a good balance of accuracy and computational cost. Its applicability to large-scale simulations has been aided…

We derive an exact representation of the exchange-correlation energy within density functional theory (DFT) which spawns a class of approximations leading to correct long-range asymptotic behavior. In what amounts to be the simplest…

In approximate Kohn-Sham density-functional theory, self-interaction manifests itself as the dependence of the energy of an orbital on its fractional occupation. This unphysical behavior translates into qualitative and quantitative errors…

Conventional methods for modeling thermocatalytic systems are typically based on the Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT), neglecting the inhomogeneous distributions of gas molecules in the reactive environment. However, industrial…
