Local Control and v-Representability of Correlated Quantum Dynamics

Abstract

We present a local control scheme to construct the external potential v that, for a given initial state, produces a prescribed time-dependent density in an interacting quantum many-body system. The numerical method is efficient and stable even for large and rapid density variations irrespective of the initial state and the interactions. The method can at the same time be used to answer fundamental v-representability questions in density-functional theory. In particular, in the absence of interactions, it allows us to construct the exact time-dependent Kohn-Sham potential for arbitrary initial states. We illustrate the method in a correlated one-dimensional two-electron system with different interactions, initial states and densities. For a Kohn-Sham system with a correlated initial state we demonstrate the interplay between memory and initial-state dependence as well as the failure of any adiabatic approximation.
