Excitations of Quantum Many-Body Systems via Purified Ensembles: A Unitary-Coupled-Cluster-based Approach

arXiv:2201.10974 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.066401

Abstract

State-average calculations based on mixture of states are increasingly being exploited across chemistry and physics as versatile procedures for addressing excitations of quantum many-body systems. If not too many states should need to be addressed, calculations performed on individual states is also a common option. Here we show how the two approaches can be merged into one method, dealing with a generalized yet single pure state. Implications in electronic structure calculations are discussed and for quantum computations are pointed out.
