description

In this chapter we will give an introduction into one-body reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT). This is a rather new method to deal with the quantum many-body problem. Especially the development of a time-dependent version, TDRDMFT , is very recent. Therefore, there are many open questions and the formalism has not crystalized yet into a standard form such as in (TD)DFT. Although RDMFT has similarities with DFT, there are many more differences. This chapter is too short for a full introduction into the wondrous world of RDMFT, but we hope to give an idea what (TD)RDMFT might bring.
