Orthogonally Constrained CASSCF Framework: Newton-Raphson Orbital Optimization and Nuclear Gradients

Loris Delafosse, Vincent Robert, Saad Yalouz

In a recent work, we introduced the foundations of an orthogonally constrained complete active space self-consistent field (OC-CASSCF) framework that produces state-specific molecu…

A State-Specific Iterative Decoupling Scheme Based on Perturbation Theory for Low-Energy Electronic States

Oussama Bindech, Saad yalouz, Vincent Robert

In this work, we introduce a selective and scalable extension of the multi-step Rayleigh-Schrodinger and Brillouin-Wigner perturbative scheme (see arXiv:2408.16505), designed to ef…

Transformation-free generation of a quasi-diabatic representation from the state-average orbital-optimized variational quantum eigensolver

Silvie Illésová, Martin Beseda, Saad Yalouz +2

In the present work, we examine how the recent quantum-computing algorithm known as the state-average orbital-optimized variational quantum eigensolver (SA-OO-VQE), viewed within t…

Combining Effective Hamiltonians and Brillouin-Wigner Approach: A Perturbative Approach to Spectroscopy

Oussama Bindech, Bastien Valentin, Saad Yalouz +1

The numerical cost of variational methods suggests using perturbative approaches to determine the electronic structure of molecular systems. In this work, a sequential construction…

A Two-Step Rayleigh-Schrödinger Brillouin-Wigner Approach to Transition Energies

Loris Delafosse, Amr Hussein, Saad Yalouz +1

Perturbative methods are attractive to describe the electronic structure of molecular systems because of their low-computational cost and systematically improvable character. In th…

The extended star graph as a light-harvesting-complex prototype: excitonic absorption speedup by peripheral energy defect tuning

Saad Yalouz, Vincent Pouthier

We study the quantum dynamics of a photo-excitation uniformly distributed at the periphery of an extended star network (with branches of length ). More specifically, we…

Reduced density matrix functional theory from an ab initio seniority-zero wave function: Exact and approximate formulations along adiabatic connection paths

Bruno Senjean, Saad Yalouz, Naoki Nakatani +1

Currently, there is a growing interest in the development of a new hierarchy of methods based on the concept of seniority, which has been introduced quite recently in quantum chemi…
