Abstract

The exact exchange potential in time-dependent density-functional theory is defined as an orbital functional through the time-dependent optimized effective potential (TDOEP) method. We numerically solve the TDOEP integral equation for the real-time nonlinear intersubband electron dynamics in a semiconductor quantum well with two occupied subbands. It is found that memory effects become significant in the vicinity of intersubband resonances.
