Connections between Richardson-Gaudin States, Perfect-Pairing, and Pair Coupled-Cluster Theory

Paul A. Johnson, Charles-Émile Fecteau, Samuel Nadeau +2

Slater determinants underpin most electronic structure methods, but orbital-based approaches often struggle to describe strong correlation efficiently. Geminal-based theories, by c…

Near-exact treatment of seniority-zero ground and excited states with a Richardson-Gaudin mean-field

Charles-Émile Fecteau, Samuel Cloutier, Jean-David Moisset +4

Eigenvectors of the reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Hamiltonian, Richardson-Gaudin (RG) states, are used as a variational wavefunction Ansatz for strongly-correlated electronic s…

Density Matrices of Seniority-Zero Geminal Wavefunctions

Jean-David Moisset, Charles-Émile Fecteau, Paul A. Johnson

Scalar products and density matrix elements of closed-shell pair geminal wavefunctions are evaluated directly in terms of the pair amplitudes, resulting in an analogue of Wick's th…

Transition density matrices of Richardson-Gaudin states

Paul A. Johnson, Hubert Fortin, Samuel Cloutier +1

Recently, ground state eigenvectors of the reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Hamiltonian, Richardson-Gaudin (RG) states, have been employed as a wavefunction ansatz for strong corr…

Richardson-Gaudin geminal wavefunctions in a Slater determinant basis

Charles-Émile Fecteau, Frédéric Berthiaume, Meriem Khalfoun +1

Geminal wavefunctions have been employed to model strongly-correlated electrons. These wavefunctions represent products of weakly-correlated pairs of electrons and reasonable appro…

Reduced density matrices of Richardson-Gaudin states in the Gaudin algebra basis

Charles-Émile Fecteau, Hubert Fortin, Samuel Cloutier +1

Eigenvectors of the reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Hamiltonian have recently been employed as a variational wavefunction ansatz in quantum chemistry. This wavefunction is a mean…
