Uniform E field for Real Time TD-DFT?

Hi Tim,

If you add the field at the SCF stage, then there will be no propagation with RT-TDDFT because the commutator on the RHS will be 0. If you add a constant uniform electric field at the moment of propagation t = 0, this term being a constant would just factor out of the commutator and can be cancelled. There would be no effect. Unless I am missing something.

Best,
