What Does HKS Stand For?
HKS stands for Hohenberg Kohn Sham Quantum Theory
HKS, or Hohenberg Kohn Sham Quantum Theory, is a foundational framework in quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics that simplifies the computational study of many-body systems. It provides a method for calculating the ground state properties of interacting electron systems by transforming the problem into a series of non-interacting systems, thereby making it more tractable. The HKS theory underpins various practical applications in materials science and quantum chemistry, enabling researchers to predict the behavior of complex materials and molecular systems efficiently.
