Time-dependent Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory - Part 2

Explore the second part of a 57-minute lecture on "Time-dependent reduced density matrix functional theory" presented by Kasia Pernal from Politechnika Lodzka at IPAM's Non-commutative Optimal Transport Tutorials at UCLA. Recorded on March 13, 2025, this lecture builds upon the foundations established in Part 1, focusing on the derivation of time-dependent density matrix and time-dependent reduced density matrix equations. Delve into linear response density matrix functional theory, examining various approximations and their practical applications for calculating excited states of hydrogen molecules. Gain advanced insights into this specialized area of computational chemistry and quantum mechanics through detailed theoretical explanations and practical examples. Part of IPAM's comprehensive program on Non-commutative Optimal Transport.
