• Title: Deriving density-matrix functionals for excited states
• Authors: Julia Liebert, Christian Schilling
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: We initiate the recently proposed $\boldsymbol{w}$-ensemble one-particle reduced density matrix functional theory ($\boldsymbol{w}$-RDMFT) by deriving the first functional approximations and illustrate how excitation energies can be calculated in practice. For this endeavour, we first study the symmetric Hubbard dimer, constituting the building block of the Hubbard model, for which we execute the Levy-Lieb constrained search. Second, due to the particular suitability of $\boldsymbol{w}$-RDMFT for describing Bose-Einstein condensates, 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. Our findings highlight the physical relevance of the generalized exclusion principle for fermionic and bosonic mixed states and the curse of universality in functional theories.

  We show that the well-known $(kuparrow, -kdownarrow)$ Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer interaction, when considered in real space, is equivalent to an infinite-range Penson-Kolb pairing mechanism. We investigate the dynamics of fermionic particles confined in a ring-shaped lattice.

  This thesis aims to initiate and establish a bosonic RDMFT for both ground state and excited state energy calculations. Motivated by the Onsager and Penrose criterion, we derive the universal functional for a homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in the Bogoliubov regime. In the second part of the thesis, we propose and work out an ensemble RDMFT targeting excitations in bosonic quantum systems.

• An exact one-particle theory of bosonic excitations: From a generalized Hohenberg-Kohn theorem to convexified N-representability [0.0]
  We propose a functional theory for targeting low-lying excitation energies of bosonic quantum systems through the one-particle picture. We employ an extension of the Rayleigh-Ritz variational principle to ensemble states with spectrum $boldsymbolw$ and prove a corresponding generalization of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem. Remarkably, this reveals a complete hierarchy of bosonic exclusion principle constraints in conceptual analogy to Pauli's exclusion principle for fermions.
