Abstract
Floquet theory provides insight into the inversion of time-dependent Kohn-Sham density functional theory. Specifically, mathematical derivations show that the fundamental frequencies of a time-dependent wavefunction solution are the leading-order harmonics for the TD-KS state. Numerical tests of the resulting ansatz in 1D and 3D for atomic and molecular cases demonstrate its utility. In particular, low L2 errors in the time-dependent density and longitudinal current were found, even though currents were not an explicit optimization objective. In all, the proposed inversion ansatz provides exchange-correlation potentials from time-dependent wavefunctions, is highly interpretable, and may significantly help in the development of nonadiabatic density functionals.
