Rigorous screened interactions for realistic correlated electron systems

arXiv:2307.13584 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.076401

Abstract

We derive a widely-applicable first principles approach for determining two-body, static effective interactions for low-energy Hamiltonians with quantitative accuracy. The algebraic construction rigorously conserves all instantaneous two-point correlation functions in a chosen model space at the level of the random phase approximation, improving upon the traditional uncontrolled static approximations. Applied to screened interactions within a quantum embedding framework, we demonstrate these faithfully describe the relaxation of local subspaces via downfolding high-energy physics in molecular systems, as well as enabling a systematically improvable description of the long-range plasmonic contributions in extended graphene.
