Almost all time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) calculations of excited states make use of the adiabatic approximation, which implies a frequency-independent exchange-correlation kernel that limits applications to one-hole/one-particle states. To remedy this problem, Maitra et al.[J.Chem.Phys. 120, 5932 (2004)] proposed dressed TDDFT (D-TDDFT), which includes explicit two-hole/two-particle states by adding a frequency-dependent term to adiabatic TDDFT. This paper offers the first extensive test of D-TDDFT, and its ability to represent excitation energies in a general fashion. We present D-TDDFT excited states for 28 chromophores and compare them with the benchmark results of Schreiber et al.[J.Chem.Phys. 128, 134110 (2008).] We find the choice of functional used for the A-TDDFT step to be critical for positioning the 1h1p states with respect to the 2h2p states. We observe that D-TDDFT without HF exchange increases the error in excitations already underestimated by A-TDDFT. This problem is largely remedied by implementation of D- TDDFT including Hartree-Fock exchange.

We propose a computationally efficient approach to the nonadiabatic time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) which is based on a representation of the frequency-dependent exchange correlation kernel as a response of a set of damped oscillator s. The requirements to computational resources needed to implement our approach do not differ from those of the standard real-time TDDFT in the adiabatic local density approximation (ALDA). Thus, our result offers an exciting opportunity to take into account temporal nonlocality and memory effects in calculations with TDDFT in quantum chemistry and solid state physics for unprecedentedly low costs.
We present a systematic study of the photo-absorption spectra of various Si$_{n}$H$_{m}$ clusters (n=1-10, m=1-14) using the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The method uses a real-time, real-space implementation of TDDFT involving f ull propagation of the time dependent Kohn-Sham equations. Our results for SiH$_{4}$ and Si$_{2}$H$_{6}$ show good agreement with the earlier calculations and experimental data. We find that for small clusters (n<7) the photo-absorption spectrum is atomic-like while for the larger clusters it shows bulk-like behaviour. We study the photo-absorption spectra of silicon clusters as a function of hydrogenation. For single hydrogenation, we find that in general, the absorption optical gap decreases and as the number of silicon atoms increase the effect of a single hydrogen atom on the optical gap diminishes. For further hydrogenation the optical gap increases and for the fully hydrogenated clusters the optical gap is larger compared to corresponding pure silicon clusters.
We find the analytical solution to the time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) problem for the quasi-low-dimensional (2D and 1D) electron gas (QLDEG) with only one band filled in the direction perpendicular to the system extent. The theory i s developed at the level of TD exact exchange and yields the exchange potential as an explicit nonlocal operator of the spin-density. The dressed interband (image states) excitation spectra of the Q2DEG are calculated, while the comparison with the Kohn-Sham (KS) transitions provides the insight into the qualitative and quantitative role of the many-body interactions. Important cancellations between the Hartree $f_H$ and the exchange $f_x$ kernels are found in the low-density limit, shedding light on the interrelations between the KS and many-body excitations.

We evaluate the density matrix of an arbitrary quantum mechanical system in terms of the quantities pertinent to the solution of the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) problem. Our theory utilizes the adiabatic connection perturbation m ethod of G{o}rling and Levy, from which the expansion of the many-body density matrix in powers of the coupling constant $lambda$ naturally arises. We then find the reduced density matrix $rho_lambda({bf r},{bf r},t)$, which, by construction, has the $lambda$-independent diagonal elements $rho_lambda({bf r},{bf r},t)=n({bf r},t)$, $n({bf r},t)$ being the particle density. The off-diagonal elements of $rho_lambda({bf r},{bf r},t)$ contribute importantly to the processes, which cannot be treated via the density, directly or by the use of the known TDDFT functionals. Of those, we consider the momentum-resolved photoemission, doing this to the first order in $lambda$, i.e., on the level of the exact exchange theory. In illustrative calculations of photoemission from the quasi-2D electron gas and isolated atoms, we find quantitatively strong and conceptually far-reaching differences with the independent-particle Fermis golden rule formula.

I show that the so-called causality paradox of time-dependent density functional theory arises from an incorrect formulation of the variational principle for the time evolution of the density. The correct formulation not only resolves the paradox in real time, but also leads to a new expression for the causal exchange-correlation kernel in terms of Berry curvature. Furthermore, I show that all the results that were previously derived from symmetries of the action functional remain valid in the present formulation. Finally, I develop a model functional theory which explicitly demonstrates the workings of the new formulation.
