17. A first step in this direction was taken in K. Burke, R. Car, and R. Gebauer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 146803 (2005). Here TDDFT is used in combination with a master equation to study electronic transport in the presence of dissipation. However, due to the dependence of the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian H^KS on the density, a Kohn-Sham master equation cannot be easily derived, because for any operator O^ one has in general [HKS,O]̄[HKS,Ō].
