Second-Derivative-Corrected FANPT for Robust Continuation of Nonlinear Wavefunction Equations

Rugwed Lokhande, Krisztina Zsigmond, Paul W. Ayers +1

We present a second-derivative-corrected extension of the Flexible Ansatz for N-body Perturbation Theory (FANPT) for solving nonlinear Flexible Ansatz for N-body Configuration Inte…

Towards more accurate natural orbital functional approximations: including 4-index cumulant contributions

Valerii Chuiko, Paul W. Ayers, Eduard Matito

Accurate modeling of bond breaking remains a central challenge for reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT). Although some modern functionals can yield reasonably accurate…

Paying attention to long-range electron correlation: a size-independent deep-learning approach to predicting molecules' electronic energies from one- and two-electron integrals

Valerii Chuiko, Giovanni B. Da Rosa, Paul W. Ayers

We propose a descriptor for molecular electronic structure that is based solely on the one- and two-electron integrals but is translationally, rotationally, and unitarily invariant…

Optimizing and benchmarking the computation of the permanent of general matrices

Cassandra Masschelein, Michelle Richer, Paul W. Ayers

Evaluating the permanent of a matrix is a fundamental computation that emerges in many domains, including traditional fields like computational complexity theory, graph theory, man…
