Two-electron wavefunctions are matrix product states with bond dimension Three

Abstract

We prove the statement in the title, for a suitable (wavefunction-dependent) choice of the underlying orbitals, and show that Three is optimal. Thus for two-electron systems, the QC-DMRG method with bond dimension Three combined with fermionic mode optimization exactly recovers the FCI energy.
