A unified density-matrix functional construction of quantum baths in density matrix embedding theory beyond the mean-field approximation

Abstract

The equivalence in one-electron quantum bath between the practical implementation of density matrix embedding theory (DMET) and the more recent Householder-transformed density matrix functional embedding theory has been shown previously in the standard but special case where the reference full-size (one-electron reduced) density matrix, from which the bath is constructed, is idempotent [J. Chem. Phys. 157, 214112 (2022)]. We prove mathematically that the equivalence remains valid when the density matrix is not idempotent anymore, thus allowing for the construction of correlated (one-electron) quantum baths. A density-matrix functional exactification of DMET is derived within the present unified quantum embedding formalism. Numerical examples reveal that the embedding cluster can be quite sensitive to the level of density-matrix functional approximation used for computing the reference density matrix.
