Linear response equations

In this subsection we consider how these three terms modify the mathematical structure related to the determination of the linear response equations. As an illustration we present the modifications due to the term Ci( M/cu in conjunction with the operator... 

These seven effective operators enable us to rewrite the terms Gq /cm, Gq /cm, and Gq /cm in n rather compact fashion. Based on these seven effective operators we acquire the following modifications of the linear response equations due to the coupling between the quantum mechanical subsystem and the structured environment... 

Having determined the modifications to the linear response equation we turn our attention towards the response equations for calculating nonlinear time-dependent properties of quantum mechanical systems coupled to a structured environment. We present the modifications of the response equations induced by the term ([7r v, WgM/CM]). 

In order to determine the contributions to the quadratic response equations, one has to expand the electronic wave function O > and the operator T1v to second order. The next step concerns the collection of the appropriate terms for the quadratic response equations and as for the linear response equations it is convenient to define the following effective operators ...

As it is not possible to obtain TDDFT-SS results, the results refer to CIS method. In fact, this method can be obtained from two points of view one is to consider the method as a standard Cl, in which the wave function of the excited state is constructed by single excitations from the HF determinant and thus a SS solvent response can be obtained the other is to consider CIS as the result of the Tamm-Dancoff approximation applied to the linear response equation based on the HF wave function. The two ways of looking at the CIS method give the same equations in vacuo, but, as discussed above, they differ for molecules in solution due to the nature of the effective Hamiltonian. 

The general TD linear response equation (7-39) can be transformed into a working equation [16, 17] for the potential time dependence (AV(t)), namely as a step function, AV(t) = Q(t)A, where AV = Ve -VGS = V (P4). In this approximation, in fact, the variation of the polarization charges Sq at time t due to a change in the electrostatic potential at time t = 0 becomes ...

Although the full time-dependent electron density contains much useful information, it is hard and expensive to compute, and not needed for many basic properties. Most applications in chemistry therefore use only linear (or nonlinear) response theory to obtain the first-order (or higher-order) change in the electron density due to a time-dependent electric perturbation. Most properties of interest (such as excitation energies and oscillator strengths) can be obtained from the linear response equations.

In order to appreeiate the general eoneepts that are involved, the linear response equations for a Self-Consistent Field (SCF) ground state will be sketehed below.

The perturbed densities appearing in the equations above can be obtained by solving linear response equations as in Eq. 2.26 [32, 274]. 

The formulation of approximate response theory based on an exponential parame-trization of the time-dependent wave function, Eq. (11.36), and the Ehrenfest theorem, Eq. (11.40), can also be used to derive SOPPA and higher-order Mpller-Plesset perturbation theory polarization propagator approximations (Olsen et al., 2005). Contrary to the approach employed in Chapter 10, which is based on the superoperator formalism from Section 3.12 and that could not yet be extended to higher than linear response functions, the Ehrenfest-theorem-based approach can be used to derive expressions also for quadratic and higher-order response functions. In the following, it will briefly be shown how the SOPPA linear response equations, Eq. (10.29), can be derived with this approach.
