Abstract
How much information about the complete molecule is present in a part of the molecule? Quantum similarity measures provide comparisons between molecular electron densities based on integration over the whole space. Such integration involves boundaryless electron densities, whereas an early application of the Hohenberg—Kohn theorem to local subsystems of molecules requires these molecules to be confined to bounded, finite regions of the space. However, actual molecules have no boundaries, they are not confined to any finite region of the space. In order to find deterministic relations between local and global, boundaryless electron densities, and to classify the link between quantum similarity measures involving the full space and local subsystems, the unique extension property called the holographic property of subsystems of complete, boundaryless electron densities is established. Any nonzero volume piece of the ground state electron density completely determines the electron density of the complete, bou...

Chemical information from the source function.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the source function represents a practical tool to disclose the local and nonlocal character of the electron density distributions and to quantify such a locality and nonlocality in terms of a physically sound and appealing chemical partitioning.

Chemical fragments in real space: definitions, properties, and energetic decompositions.

TL;DR: The physical and chemical meaning of real space molecular fragments resulting from arbitrary partitions of the density is reviewed under a common unifying formalism and it is argued that the merits of a given decomposition should be judged against both the charge and the energetic image it provides.

Time-dependent density functional theory for quantum transport

TL;DR: The proposed approach combines time-dependent density functional theory with quantum dissipation theory, and results in a useful tool for studying transient dynamics of electronic systems and construct a number of practical schemes for simulating realistic systems such as nanoscopic electronic devices.

Inhomogeneous Electron Gas

TL;DR: In this article, the ground state of an interacting electron gas in an external potential was investigated and it was proved that there exists a universal functional of the density, called F[n(mathrm{r})], independent of the potential of the electron gas.
