This is a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art computational methods based on orbital-free formulation of density functional theory completed by the most recent developments concerning the exact properties, approximations, and interpretations of the relevant quantities in density functional theory. The book is a compilation of contributions stemming from a series of workshops which had been taking place since 2002. It not only chronicles many of the latest developments but also summarises some of the more significant ones. The chapters are mainly reviews of sub-domains but also include original research.

Advanced Reviews in Theoretical Chemical Physics describes recent progress in important areas of the theory of atomic, molecular and condensed matter systems, which are of interest to a wide spectrum of theoretical and computational physicists and chemists, in the form of contributions written by leaders of the respective fields.

The text includes reviews featuring: Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Chemistry, Density-Functional Theory, Coupled Clusters, Quantum Monte Carlo, Quantum/Classical Dynamics, Coherent Control, Novel Materials, Nanosystems, and Biophysical/Medical Simulations.

Advanced Reviews in Theoretical Chemical Physics is primarily aimed at scholars, researchers, and graduate students working in universities and scientific laboratories and interested in the structure, properties, dynamics, and spectroscopy of atomic, molecular, and condensed matter systems.
