Abstract

This paper gives a simple and pedagogical explanation, using density matrices of two-level systems, how to calculate excitation energies with time-dependent density-functional theory. The well-known single-pole approximation for excitation energies is derived here in an alternative way and extended to time-dependent current-density-functional theory.
