Exact maps in density-functional theory

Tanja Dimitrov

Providing sufficient accuracy at low-computational cost, not surprisingly, density-functional theory ( DFT ) is a standard tool in theoretical material science. Similarly, quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory ( QEDFT ) provides a promising route to describe experiments at the interface of quantum optics and quantum chemistry. Formally, in the Kohn-Sham ( KS ) formulation of DFT and QEDFT the exact many-particle Schrödinger equation is replaced by a set of coupled non-linear one-particle differential equations. The electron-electron, the electron-ion and the electron-photon interactions of the interacting system are mimicked by their corresponding effective KS potential with an, in principle unknown exchange-correlation ( xc ) term. In practice, DFT and QEDFT require approximations for this xc potential. The quality of which fully determines how much the DFT and QEDFT observables deviate from the exact ones. Understanding the shortcomings and improving the quality of approximate functionals makes the study of the exact functional of model systems indispensable. Here, we employ exact diagonalization for the Hamiltonian of different types of real-space lattice models in one spatial dimension to access the ground-state wave function, and thus to explicitly construct the exact functionals of DFT and QEDFT . To study the functional behavior of purely electronic systems, we consider two singlet-state electrons moving in an external potential with two connected atomic wells of variable depth and distance. To study coupled electron-photon systems, we consider the Rabi Hamiltonian with variable electron-photon coupling strength. By varying the model parameters, we systematically construct the functionals for systems from weak to strong coupling between the building blocks of the global system. Using the concept of the effective density-to- potential map, we discuss the intrasystem steepening which is an exact condition on the xc functional that captures the static correlation present in the system and carve out how it relates to the well-known intersystem derivative discontinuity. We further construct arbitrary observables as functionals of the internal variables which are directly affected by such features of the effective density-to-potential map. By constructing the reduced dipole map in the four-particle case of coupled electron-photon system, we show that the density-to-potential map helps to identify and understand recently discovered physical effects in the field of strongly coupled electron-photon systems. This work provides a contribution to the development of approximate function- als required in practical density-functional calculations of arbitrary experimentally accessible observables. Both the intrasystem steepening and the intersystem derivative discontinuity play a crucial role for systems with highly-localized electrons. Including both features in approximate functionals will improve the accu- racy of DFT evaluation of observables for such systems. Those results provide novel insight into the properties of the exact xc potentials in QEDFT . This work opens a new route to construct new functionals using coarse-grained or embed- ding approaches within the general and exact frameworks of DFT and QEDFT.

Quantal density-functional theory of the density amplitude: Application to atoms

Xiao‐Yin Pan, Viraht Sahni

Local effective potential theory of electronic structure is the mapping from a system of electrons in an external field to one of noninteracting fermions or bosons with the same electronic density. The energy and ionization potential are also thereby determined. The mappings may be achieved via either quantal density-functional theory (QDFT) or Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham density-functional theory (HKS-DFT). The wave function for the model fermionic system is a Slater determinant of spin orbitals, whereas that for the model bosons is the density amplitude. In the QDFT mappings, the contributions of the electron correlations due to the Pauli exclusion principle, Coulomb repulsion and correlation-kinetic effects are separately delineated. It has been proved via QDFT that the contribution of Pauli and Coulomb correlations to these model systems is the same; the difference lies solely in their correlation-kinetic component. In this paper, we apply the QDFT of the density amplitude to study the mapping to the bosonic model. The application is to atoms and performed at the Hartree-Fock theory level of electron correlations. A principal conclusion is that correlation-kinetic effects play a significant role in the mapping to the bosonic model, whereas they are negligible in the mapping to the model fermions. For the bosonic model, this contribution increases with electron number, becoming nearly as significant as those due to the corresponding electron-interaction (the sum of the Hartree and Pauli) term. The significance of the correlation-kinetic effects will be further enhanced on the inclusion of Coulomb correlations and the corresponding correlation-kinetic contributions. The consequences of these conclusions for the HKS-DFT of the density amplitude are discussed, as are directions for future work.
