The arrow of time, irreversibility, equilibrium and measurement in quantum mechanics
Christopher J. N. Coveney, Peter V. Coveney
Quantum mechanics is widely recognised as being incomplete. It is not consistent with the second law of thermodynamics and does not provide a scientifically credible physical accou…
Theory of ab initio downfolding with arbitrary range electron-phonon coupling
Norm M. Tubman, Christopher J. N. Coveney, Chih-En Hsu +6
Ab initio downfolding describes the electronic structure of materials within a low-energy subspace, often around the Fermi level. Typically starting from mean-field calculations, t…
Non-hermitian Green's function theory with -body interactions: the coupled-cluster similarity transformation
Christopher J. N. Coveney, David P. Tew
We present the diagrammatic theory of the irreducible self-energy and Bethe-Salpeter kernel that naturally arises within the Green's function formalism for a general -body non-h…
Uncovering relationships between the electronic self-energy and coupled-cluster doubles theory
Christopher J. N. Coveney
We derive the coupled-cluster doubles (CCD) amplitude equations by introduction of the particle-hole-time decoupled electronic self-energy. The resulting analysis leads to an expre…
Ultrafast Spontaneous Exciton Dissociation via Phonon Emission in BiVO
Stephen E. Gant, Antonios M. Alvertis, Christopher J. N. Coveney +3
Monoclinic bismuth vanadate (m-BiVO) is a promising indirect band gap semiconductor for photoelectrochemical water splitting, yet the characteristics of its low-lying photoexci…
Diagrammatic theory of the irreducible coupled-cluster self-energy
Christopher J. N. Coveney, David P. Tew
Coupled-cluster and Green's function theories are highly successful in treating many-body electron correlation, and there has been significant interest in identifying and leveragin…
