Abstract
The time-dependent equation-of-motion coupled cluster (TD-EOM-CC) and time-dependent coupled cluster (TDCC) methods are compared by simulating Rabi oscillations for different numbers of non-interacting atoms in a classical electromagnetic field. While the TD-EOM-CC simulations are numerically stable, the oscillating time-dependent energy scales unreasonably with the number of subsystems resonant with the field. The TDCC simulations give the correct scaling of the time-dependent energy in the initial stages of the Rabi cycle, but the numerical solution breaks down when the multi-atom system approaches complete population inversion. We present a general theoretical framework in which the two methods can be described, where the cluster amplitude time derivatives are taken as auxiliary conditions, leading to a shifted time-dependent Hamiltonian matrix. In this framework, TDCC has a shifted Hamiltonian with a block upper triangular structure, explaining the correct scaling properties of the method.
