A transformed framework for dynamic correlation in multireference problems

Abstract

We describe how multireference dynamic correlation theories can be naturally obtained as singlereference correlation theories in a canonically transformed frame. Such canonically transformed correlation theories are very simple and involve identical expressions to their single-reference counterparts. The corresponding excitations involve quasiparticles rather than the bare particles of the system. High-order density matrices (or their approximations) and the numerical metric instabilities common to multireference correlation theories do not appear. As an example, we formulate the Bogoliubov canonically transformed version of second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory and demonstrate its performance in H 2 , H 2 O, N 2 , and BeH 2 bond dissociation.

Solving Anderson Impurity Model by the Effective Hamiltonian Theory

“…This provides an avenue for essentially the exact solution of the many-body problem, with the environment serving as the boundary condition. This method is similar to the canonically transformed Møller−Plesset second-order perturbation theory (CT-MP2) 15 but it does not rely on a perturbation expansion. Instead, SCEHT prescribes a self-consistent procedure using the variational principle.…”

Formulation of a Dressed Coupled-Cluster Method with Implicit Triple Excitations and Benchmark Application to Hydrogen-Bonded Systems

“…Piecuch et al have developed renormalized CCSD (R-CCSD) and completely renormalized CCSD (CR-CCSD) based on posteriori correction on top of CCSD. − Other notable developments in this avenue include the similarity renormalization group (SRG) approach by Evangelista, the Lagrangian-based CCSD­(T-n) approach by Eriksen et al, , and the CC­(m)-PT­(n) approach by Hirata et al . The canonical transformation-based approach for handling multireference electronic structure problems was put forward by Sokolov and Chan in the context of perturbation theory and by Rolik and Kállay in the CC framework …”
