‎First edition of Kohn and Hohnberg's seminal and groundbreaking paper, in which they developed the Density Functional Theory (DFT)"" a theory used in physics and chemistry based on quantum mechanics to investigate the electronic structure many-body systems, in particular atoms and molecules. The theory is also known as The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem. For his work on the DFT, Kohn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1998. ""Since its birth in the 1960's (Hohenberg and Kohn, 1964) and especially with the developments in recent years, density functional theory (DFT) has been enormously successful for calculating the electronic structure and properties of ground-state systems. Modern DFT is in principles an exact theory, built on the firm foundation of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem (1964)."" (Gonis, Electron correlations and materials properties 2, 2003, p. 285).A study in 2004 of all citations to the Physical Review journals from 1893 until 2003, found Kohn to be the author of five of the 100 papers with the ""highest citation impact"", including the present. ‎
