Computational Protocol to Evaluate Electron–Phonon Interactions Within Density Matrix Perturbation Theory

[Image: see text] We present a computational protocol, based on density matrix perturbation theory, to obtain non-adiabatic, frequency-dependent electron–phonon self-energies for molecules and solids. Our approach enables the evaluation of electron–phonon interaction using hybrid functionals, for spin-polarized systems, and the computational overhead to include dynamical and non-adiabatic terms in the evaluation of electron–phonon self-energies is negligible. We discuss results for molecules, as well as pristine and defective solids.
