“…Numerous attempts to overcome this limitation have been made, e.g., the restricted active space (RAS) method, 1, 2 general multi-configuration (GMC) method, 3 generalized a) Electronic mail: kura@ims.ac.jp. valence bond (GVB) method, 4 and perfect pairing and other valence-bond, geminal type theories, [5][6][7][8][9][10] and very recently, graphically contracted function, [11][12][13] complete-graph tensor network states 14,15 and correlator product states. 16 Recently, a novel multireference approach based on the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm for quantum chemistry has been vigorously developed by several groups.…”
