Information-Theoretic Appraisal of Electron Densities

Abdulrahman Y. Zamani, Kevin Carter-Fenk

We present an information-theoretic assessment of atomic and molecular densities in the ground state and under a range of physical scenarios--excitation, confinement, and ensembliz…

The Dose Makes the Poison: Perturbative Steps Toward the Ultimate Linearized Coupled Cluster Method

Sylvia J. Bintrim, Ella R. Ransford, Kevin Carter-Fenk

"Addition-by-subtraction" coupled cluster (CC) approaches provide a promising approach to treating the difficult strong correlation problem by simplifying the standard CC equations…

Kohn-Sham density encoding rescues coupled cluster theory for strongly correlated molecules

Abdulrahman Y. Zamani, Barbaro Zulueta, Andrew M. Ricciuti +2

Coupled cluster theory with a Kohn-Sham reference (KS-CC) can dramatically outperform its Hartree-Fock counterpart for strongly correlated systems, but the origin of these improvem…

Towards ab initio Realizations of Collins' Conjecture

Abdulrahman Y. Zamani, Kevin Carter-Fenk

An ab initio approach formulated under an entropy-inspired repartitioning of the electronic Hamiltonian is presented. This ansatz produces orbital eigenvalues each shifted by entro…

Diagrammatic Simplification of Linearized Coupled Cluster Theory

Kevin Carter-Fenk

Linearized Coupled Cluster Doubles (LinCCD) often provides near-singular energies in small-gap systems that exhibit static correlation. This has been attributed to the lack of quad…

Optimal-Reference Excited State Methods: Static Correlation at Polynomial Cost with Single-Reference Coupled-Cluster Approaches

Sylvia J. Bintrim, Kevin Carter-Fenk

Accurate yet efficient modeling of chemical systems with pronounced static correlation in their excited states remains a significant challenge in quantum chemistry, as most electro…
