Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory Across Molecules and Periodic Systems: Screening and Coupled Optimization

Shuxin Pei, Neil Qiang Su

Reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) provides a rigorous framework for treating strong electron correlation, yet its application to periodic systems has long been hinde…

Rigorous Formalization of Orbital Functionals: Addressing the Noninteracting -Representability Problem

Neil Qiang Su

Functionals that explicitly depend on occupied, unoccupied, or fractionally-occupied orbitals are rigorously formalized using Clifford algebras, and a variational principle is esta…

Enhancing Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory Calculations by Coupling Orbital and Occupation Optimizations

Yi-Fan Yao, Neil Qiang Su

Reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) calculations are usually implemented in a decoupled manner, where the orbital and occupation optimizations are repeated alternately…

Combining Localized Orbital Scaling Correction and Bethe-Salpeter Equation for Accurate Excitation Energies

Jiachen Li, Ye Jin, Neil Qiang Su +1

We applied localized orbital scaling correction (LOSC) in Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) to predict accurate excitation energies for molecules. LOSC systematically eliminates the de…

Localized orbital scaling correction for periodic systems

Aaron Mahler, Jacob Z. Williams, Neil Qiang Su +1

Density functional theory offers accurate structure prediction at acceptable computational cost, but commonly used approximations suffer from delocalization error; this results in…
