The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) has been broadly used to investigate the excited-state properties of various molecular systems. However, the current TDDFT heavily relies on outcomes from the corresponding ground-state density functional theory (DFT) calculations which may be prone to errors due to the lack of proper treatment in the non-dynamical correlation effects. Recently, thermally-assisted-occupation density functional theory (TAO-DFT) [J.-D. Chai, textit{J. Chem. Phys.} textbf{136}, 154104 (2012)], a DFT with fractional orbital occupations, was proposed, explicitly incorporating the non-dynamical correlation effects in the ground-state calculations with low computational complexity. In this work, we develop time-dependent (TD) TAO-DFT, which is a time-dependent, linear-response theory for excited states within the framework of TAO-DFT. With tests on the excited states of H$_{2}$, the first triplet excited state ($1^3Sigma_u^+$) was described well, with non-imaginary excitation energies. TDTAO-DFT also yields zero singlet-triplet gap in the dissociation limit, for the ground singlet ($1^1Sigma_g^+$) and the first triplet state ($1^3Sigma_u^+$). In addition, as compared to traditional TDDFT, the overall excited-state potential energy surfaces obtained from TDTAO-DFT are generally improved and better agree with results from the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD).
A very specific ensemble of ground and excited states is shown to yield an exact formula for any excitation energy as a simple correction to the energy difference between orbitals of the Kohn-Sham ground state. This alternative scheme avoids either t
The charge delocalization error, besides nondynamic correlation, has been a major challenge to density functional theory. Contemporary functionals undershoot the dissociation of symmetric charged dimers A2+, a simple but stringent test, predict a spu
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 effects of va
The computational investigation of photochemical processes often entails the calculation of excited state geometries, energies, and energy gradients. The nuclear-electronic orbital (NEO) approach treats specified nuclei, typically protons, quantum me
In numerical computations of response properties of electronic systems, the standard model is Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). Here we investigate the mathematical status of the simplest class of excitations in KS-DFT, HOMO-LUMO excitati
