Many of the fundamental processes in nature involve intricate dynamics of
electrons in materials under complex circumstances. Time dependent density
functional theory (TDDFT) is emerging as a practical yet accurate theoretical
approach for studying such systems. The success of TDDFT stems from the fine
combination of rigor (being based on a formally exact theory of interacting
many-body quantum systems) and simplicity (circumventing the full many-body wave
function). The existing approximations involved in the practical application
of TDDFT have already proved that the method is of great utility. However,
there are still open problems, phenomena which are not properly described
or understood. The purpose of the symposium is to discuss the latest
developments in time density functional theory, its implementation and its
applications. The participants will focus on:
Open theoretical problems
Methods of solution, in particular new functionals and approaches
New implementations
Interesting and unique applications of TDDFT
