title: Kohn-Sham self-interaction correction in real time.
abstract: We present a solution scheme for the time-dependent Kohn-Sham self-interaction correction. Based on the generalized optimized effective potential approach, the multiplicative Kohn-Sham potential is constructed in real time and real space for the self-interaction corrected local density approximation. Excitations of different character, including charge-transfer excitations that had been regarded as prime examples for the failure of standard time-dependent density functionals, are described correctly by this approach. We analyze the time-dependent exchange-correlation potential and density, revealing features that are decisive for the correct description of the response.
