Abstract Many theoretical and computational methods are based upon the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This approximation greatly simplifies the search for a wave function that describes all electrons and nuclei in a chemical system. This is accomplished by assuming that the motion of nuclei and electrons are vastly different; the motion of the two particle types is decoupled. While the BO approximation is ubiquitous in computational and theoretical studies, it is not always justifiable. There are two main cases where this approximation is not valid. The first is when nuclear and electronic motion cannot be decoupled. Decoupling the motion leads to incorrect observations and conclusions drawn. The second case is when a chemical system has more than one type of particle to be treated without the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. For these types of systems, a different and more general interpreta- tion of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation must be made where multiple particle types can be investigated whose motion is not decoupled from one another. In order to investigate systems that are classified in this more inclusive interpretation, new computational theories and methods are needed. To accomplish this task, the mul- ticomponent coupled-cluster method has been developed. In its present form, this new computational method is capable of treating two types of particles without de- coupling their motion. The fundamental theories and methods for multicomponent coupled-cluster theory are discussed before the derivation and resulting multicompo- nent coupled-cluster equations are discussed. This method was then used to study excited electronic states in molecular systems and semiconductor quantum dots via the electron-hole representation. It was also used to calculated ground state energy of the positronium hydride system. These projects sparked further interest in the con- sequences of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation's application to chemical systems and how it compares to a non Born-Oppenheimer treatment.

The main purpose of this course was to give some theoretical background on the M¿ller-Plesset and coupled cluster methods. Both computational methods are available in many quantum chemical \black box" programs. The audi- ence consisted of graduate students, mostly with an undergraduate chemistry education and doing research in theoretical chemistry. A basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum chemistry is pre- supposed. In particular a knowledge of Slater determinants, Slater-Condon rules and Hartree-Fock theory is a prerequisite of understanding the following notes. In Appendix A this theory is reviewed briefly. Because of time limitations hardly any proofs are given, the theory is sketchily outlined. No attempt is made to integrate out the spin, the theory is formulated in terms of spin-orbitals only.

  • Effective Hamiltonians Derived from Equation-Of-Motion Coupled-Cluster
    Effective Hamiltonians derived from equation-of-motion coupled-cluster wave-functions: Theory and application to the Hubbard and Heisenberg Hamiltonians Pavel Pokhilkoa and Anna I. Krylova a Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089-0482 Effective Hamiltonians, which are commonly used for fitting experimental observ- ables, provide a coarse-grained representation of exact many-electron states obtained in quantum chemistry calculations; however, the mapping between the two is not triv- ial. In this contribution, we apply Bloch's formalism to equation-of-motion coupled- cluster (EOM-CC) wave functions to rigorously derive effective Hamiltonians in the Bloch's and des Cloizeaux's forms. We report the key equations and illustrate the theory by examples of systems with electronic states of covalent and ionic characters. We show that the Hubbard and Heisenberg Hamiltonians are extracted directly from the so-obtained effective Hamiltonians. By making quantitative connections between many-body states and simple models, the approach also facilitates the analysis of the correlated wave functions. Artifacts affecting the quality of electronic structure calculations such as spin contamination are also discussed. I. INTRODUCTION Coarse graining is commonly used in computational chemistry and physics. It is ex- ploited in a number of classic models serving as a foundation of modern solid-state physics: tight binding[1, 2], Drude{Sommerfeld's model[3{5], Hubbard's [6] and Heisenberg's[7{9] Hamiltonians. These models explain macroscopic properties of materials through effective interactions whose strengths are treated as model parameters. The values of these pa- rameters are determined either from more sophisticated theoretical models or by fitting to experimental observables.

  • Møller–Plesset Perturbation Theory: from Small Molecule Methods to Methods for Thousands of Atoms Dieter Cremer∗
    Advanced Review Møller–Plesset perturbation theory: from small molecule methods to methods for thousands of atoms Dieter Cremer∗ The development of Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MPPT) has seen four dif- ferent periods in almost 80 years. In the first 40 years (period 1), MPPT was largely ignored because the focus of quantum chemists was on variational methods. Af- ter the development of many-body perturbation theory by theoretical physicists in the 1950s and 1960s, a second 20-year long period started, during which MPn methods up to order n = 6 were developed and computer-programed. In the late 1980s and in the 1990s (period 3), shortcomings of MPPT became obvious, espe- cially the sometimes erratic or even divergent behavior of the MPn series. The physical usefulness of MPPT was questioned and it was suggested to abandon the theory. Since the 1990s (period 4), the focus of method development work has been almost exclusively on MP2. A wealth of techniques and approaches has been put forward to convert MP2 from a O(M5) computational problem into a low- order or linear-scaling task that can handle molecules with thousands of atoms. In addition, the accuracy of MP2 has been systematically improved by introducing spin scaling, dispersion corrections, orbital optimization, or explicit correlation. The coming years will see a continuously strong development in MPPT that will have an essential impact on other quantum chemical methods. C 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. WIREs Comput Mol Sci 2011 1 509–530 DOI: 10.1002/wcms.58 INTRODUCTION Hylleraas2 on the description of two-electron prob- erturbation theory has been used since the early lems with the help of perturbation theory.

  • Coupled Cluster Methods in Quantum Chemistry
    Title: Coupled Cluster methods in quantum chemistry Name: Thorsten Rohwedder, Reinhold Schneider Al./Addr.: Technische UniversitatBerlin Coupled Cluster methods in quantum chemistry Short description Coupled Cluster methods applied in quantum chemistry reformulate the electronic Schrodinger equation as a nonlinear equation, enabling the computation of size- consistent high-precision approximations of the ground state solution for weakly cor- related systems. Introduction The Coupled Cluster method (CC method) is one of the most successful and frequently used approaches for the computation of atomic and molecular electronic structure, i.e. for the solution of the stationary electronic Schrodinger equation, whenever high ac- curacy is required. In contrast to Hartree-Fock type methods (HF) or methods from density functional theory (see the respective entries in this work), high accuracy meth- ods have to account in particular for the quantum-mechanical phenomenon of electronic correlation. If a preliminarily calculated reference solution { usually provided by a HF calculation { already is a good approximation to the sought ground state wave func- tion, the problem is said to be weakly correlated. CC as a post-Hartree-Fock method (also see the entry by M. Lewin) then enables an ecient, accurate and size-extensive description of solutions of the electronic Schrodingerequation. In this context, the 2 size-extensivity of the CC approach is a key aspect, re ecting the correct scaling of correlation energy with respect to the number of electrons. CC methods were initially developed for the treatment of many body quantum systems in nuclear physics in the 1950s and were used for quantum chemical calculations since the 1966 initial work by Paldus and Czek,see (Czek,1991) for a historical overview.

A domain-based distributed-memory algorithm in the MPI/OpenMP hybrid framework has been designed to effectively utilize the memory bandwidth and significantly minimize the interconnect communication, particularly for the tensor contraction in the evaluation of the particle−particle ladder term. Our implementation features a rigorous avoidance of the on- the-fly disk storage and excellent strong scaling of up to 10 000 and more cores. Taking a set of molecules with different sizes, we demonstrate that the parallel performance of our CCSD(T) code is competitive with the CC implementations in state-of- the-art high-performance-computing computational chemistry packages. We also demonstrate that the numerical error due to the use of RI approximation in our RI-CCSD(T) method is negligibly small. Together with the correlation-consistent numeric atom-centered orbital (NAO) basis sets, NAO-VCC-nZ, the method is applied to produce accurate theoretical reference data for 22 bio-oriented weak interactions (S22), 11 conformational energies of gaseous cysteine conformers (CYCONF), and 32 Downloaded via FRITZ HABER INST DER MPI on January 8, 2021 at 22:13:06 (UTC).

OO-UCC variationally determines the coupled cluster amplitudes and also molecular orbital coefficients. Owing to its fully variational nature, first-order properties are readily available. This feature allows the optimization of molecular structures in VQE without solving any additional equations. Furthermore, the method requires smaller active space and shallower quantum circuits than UCC to achieve the same accuracy. We present numerical examples of OO-UCC using quantum simulators, which include the geometry optimization of water and ammonia molecules using analytical first derivatives of the VQE.

Quantum electrodynamics coupled cluster theory provides a nonperturbative description of cavity-induced effects in ground and excited states. Using this theory, we show how quantum fields can be used to manipulate charge transfer and photochemical properties of molecules. We propose a strategy to lift electronic degeneracies and induce modifications in the ground-state potential energy surface close to a conical intersection.
