We revisit the Hartree-Fock (HF) calculation for the uniform electron gas, or jellium model, whose predictions -- divergent derivative of the energy dispersion relation and vanishing density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level -- are in…
Phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC) has emerged as a promising electronic structure method for correlated electronic systems. However, the quality of its predictions depends critically on the choice of trial…

We use the Hartree-Fock method to study an interacting one-dimensional electron system on a finite wire, partially depleted at the center by a smooth potential barrier. A uniform one-Tesla Zeeman field is applied throughout the system. We…

We present a density matrix approach for computing global solutions of Hartree-Fock theory, based on semidefinite programming (SDP), that gives upper and lower bounds on the Hartree-Fock energy of quantum systems. Equality of the upper- and…
Mean-field methods such as Hartree-Fock (HF) or Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) constitute the building blocks upon which more elaborate many-body theories are based on. The HF and HFB wavefunctions are built out of independent…
A systematic study of the pairing-correlations derived from various particle-number projection methods is performed in an exactly soluble cranked-deformed shell model Hamiltonian. It is shown that most of the approximate particle-number…
This article examines the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) approximation of single-particle dynamics in systems of interacting fermions. We find the TDHF approximation to be accurate when there are sufficiently many particles and the…
The stretching of closed-shell molecules is a qualitative problem for restricted Hartree-Fock that is usually circumvented by the use of unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF). UHF is well known to break the spin symmetry at the Coulson-Fischer…
Our previously developed Constrained-Pairing Mean-Field Theory (CPMFT) is shown to map onto an Unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) type method if one imposes a corresponding pair constraint to the correlation problem that forces occupation…
