Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that time-dependent density-functional theory is used to describe excited states?

Yes. Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) is widely used and validated in computational chemistry to model and describe electronic excited states.
