Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) is a quantum mechanical theory used in physics and chemistry to investigate the properties and dynamics of many-body systems in the presence of time-dependent potentials, such as electric or magnetic fields. The effect of such fields on molecules and solids can be studied with TDDFT to extract features like excitation energies, frequency-dependent response properties, and photoabsorption spectra. TDDFT is an extension of density-functional theory (DFT), and the conceptual and computational foundations are analogous – to show that the (time-dependent) wave function is equivalent to the (time-dependent) electronic density, and then to derive the effective potential of a fictitious non-interacting system which returns the same density as any given interacting system. The issue of constructing such a system is more complex for TDDFT, most notably because the time-dependent effective potential at any given instant depends on the value of the density at all previous times. Consequently, the development of time-dependent approximations for the implementation of TDDFT is behind that of DFT, with applications routinely ignoring this memory requirement. (Wikipedia).

Time-Independent Schrödinger Equation | Quantum Mechanics
In this video, we will talk about the time-independent Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics. If we start with the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we can get to the time-independent one by performing a separation of variables on the wave function, where we claim that the time depe

Stationary States in Quantum Mechanics
We use separation of variables to study solutions to the time-dependent Schrodinger's equation, and demonstrate the existence of stationary states - states whose probability density is independent of time.
