• Abstract summary: orbital-free density-potential functional theory (DPFT) is a more flexible variant of Hohenberg-Kohn density functional theory. DPFT is scalable, universally applicable in both position and momentum space, and allows kinetic and interaction energy to be approximated consistently. The high quality of our results for Fermi gases in Morse potentials invites the use of DPFT for describing more exotic systems.

• Abstract: We showcase the advantages of orbital-free density-potential functional theory (DPFT), a more flexible variant of Hohenberg-Kohn density functional theory. DPFT resolves the usual trouble with the gradient-expanded kinetic energy functional by facilitating systematic semiclassical approximations in terms of an effective potential energy that incorporates all interactions. With the aid of two systematic approximation schemes we demonstrate that DPFT is not only scalable, universally applicable in both position and momentum space, and allows kinetic and interaction energy to be approximated consistently, but can also compete with highly accurate, yet restricted, methods. As two- and three-dimensional geometries are extensively covered elsewhere, our focus here is on one-dimensional settings, with semiclassical observables systematically derived from both the Wigner function formalism and a split-operator approach. The high quality of our results for Fermi gases in Morse potentials invites the use of DPFT for describing more exotic systems, such as trapped large-spin fermion mixtures with contact or dipole-dipole interactions.

  We propose a new and efficient regularization method to train density functionals based on deep neural networks. The method is tested on (effectively) one-dimensional systems, including the hydrogen chain, non-interacting electrons, and atoms of the first two periods. For the atomic systems, the generalizability of the regularization method is demonstrated by training also an exchange--correlation functional.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

  We first study the symmetric Hubbard dimer, constituting the building block of the Hubbard model, for which we execute the Levy-Lieb constrained search. We demonstrate three conceptually different approaches for deriving the universal functional in a homogeneous Bose gas for arbitrary pair interaction in the Bogoliubov regime. Remarkably, in both systems the gradient of the functional is found to diverge repulsively at the boundary of the functional's domain, extending the recently discovered Bose-Einstein condensation force to excited states.
