Microscopic methods and tools to describe nuclear dynamics have considerably been improved in the past few years. They are based on the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory and its extensions to include pairing correlations and quantum…
It was realized from the early days of Chemical Physics (Rev. Mod. Phys. 35, 496 (1963)) that the energy $E_{HF}$ of the Slater determinant (SlDet) $|\Phi _{HF}\rangle$, obtained by the single particle Hartree-Fock (HF) equation, does not…

We propose a framework to learn the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) inter-electronic potential of a molecule from its electron density dynamics. Though the entire TDHF Hamiltonian, including the inter-electronic potential, can be…
The coalescence and disappearance of Hartree--Fock (HF) solutions as the molecular structure varies have been a common source of criticism for the breakdown of the HF approximation to the potential energy surfaces. However, recent…
A self-consistent formulation is proposed to generalize the HF scheme with the incorporation of screening effects. For this purpose in a first step, an energy functional is defined by the mean value for the full Hamiltonian, not in a Slater…
A new electronic structure model is developed in which the ground state energy of a molecular system is given by a Hartree-Fock-like expression with parametrized one- and two-electron integrals over an extended (minimal + polarization) set…
The nuclear symmetry energy is defined by the second derivative of the energy per nucleon with respect to the proton-neutron asymmetry, and is sometimes approximated by the energy difference between the neutron matter and the symmetric…
We compare two different approaches to investigations of many-electron systems. The first is the Hartree-Fock (HF) method and the second is the Density Functional Theory (DFT). Overview of the main features and peculiar properties of the HF…
Although many programs have been published for fully numerical Hartree--Fock (HF) or density functional (DF) calculations on atoms, we are not aware of any that support hybrid DFs, which are popular within the quantum chemistry community…
We study the behavior of Hartree-Fock (HF) solutions in the vicinity of conical intersections. These are here understood as regions of a molecular potential energy surface characterized by degenerate or nearly-degenerate eigenfunctions with…
The time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) method is an approach to simulate the mean field dynamics of electrons within the assumption that the electrons move independently in their self-consistent average field and within the space of single…
We propose a mean field framework in which the charge and the parity symmetries of a single-particle state are broken. We break these symmetries to incorporate the correlation induced by the tensor force into a nuclear mean field model. We…
The ground-state Hartree-Fock (HF) wavefunction of the Hooke's atom is not known in closed form, contrary to the exact solution. The single HF orbital involved has thus far been studied using expansion techniques only, leading to slightly…
For the Hirshfeld-I atom-in-molecule model, associated single-atom energies and interaction energies at the Hartree-Fock level are determined efficiently in one-electron Hilbert space. In contrast to most other approaches, the energy terms…
We report a variational approach to the nonlinearly screened interaction of charged particles with a many-electron system. This approach has been developed by introducing a modification of the Schwinger variational principle of scattering…
The familiar unrestricted Hartree-Fock variational principle is generalized to include quasi-free states. As we show, these are in one-to-one correspondence with the one-particle density matrices and these, in turn provide a convenient…
