  2. Time-dependent HK theorem First theorem Runge & Gross (1984) One-to-one mapping between time-dependent density ρ(r,t) and time-dependent potentialv(r,t) except for a constant shift of the potential Condition for the external potential: Possibility of the Taylor expansion around finite time t0 The initial state is arbitrary. This condition allows an impulse potential, but forbids adiabatic switch-on.

  3. Schrödinger equation: Current density follows the equation (1) Different potentials, v(r,t) , v’(r,t), make time evolution from the same initial state into Ψ(t)、Ψ’(t) Continuity eq.

  4. Problem: Two external potentials are different, when their expansion has different coefficients at a certain order Using eq. (1), show

  5. Second theorem The universal density functional exists, and the variational principle determines the time evolution. From the first theorem, we have ρ(r,t) ↔Ψ(t). Thus, the variation of the following function determines ρ(r,t) . The universal functional is determined. v-representative density is assumed.

  6. Time-dependent KS theory Assuming non-interacting v-representability Time-dependent Kohn-Sham (TDKS) equation Solving the TDKS equation, in principle, we can obtain the exact time evolution of many-body systems. The functional depends on ρ(r,t) and the initial stateΨ0 .
