Projected Hartree-Fock theory provides an accurate description of many kinds of strong correlations but does not properly describe weakly-correlated systems. On the other hand, single-reference methods such as configuration interaction or…
Highly flexible Jastrow factors have found significant use in stochastic electronic structure methods such as variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion Monte Carlo, as well as in quantum chemical transcorrelated (TC) approaches, which…
We show that a simple correlated wave function, obtained by applying a Jastrow correlation term to an Antisymmetrized Geminal Power (AGP), based upon singlet pairs between electrons, is particularly suited for describing the electronic…
Single-reference methods such as Hartree-Fock-based coupled cluster theory are well known for their accuracy and efficiency for weakly correlated systems. For strongly correlated systems, more sophisticated methods are needed. Recent…
An interesting question in physics is how the correlation energy of atoms evolves upon forming a solid. Here, we address this problem for a specific case of double-layer FeSe. We used many-body wavefunction-based quantum Monte Carlo (QMC)…
We report a quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) study, on a very simple but nevertheless very instructive model system of four hydrogen atoms, recently proposed in Ref. 1. We find that the Jastrow correlated Antisymmetrized Geminal Power (JAGP) is…
We investigate roles of electron correlation effects in the determination of the $g_j$ factors of the $4s ~ ^2S_{1/2}$, $4p ~ ^2P_{1/2}$, $4p ~ ^2P_{3/2}$, $3d ~ ^2D_{3/2}$, and $3d ~ ^2D_{5/2}$ states, representing to different parities…

Methods which aim at universal applicability must be able to describe both weak and strong electronic correlation with equal facility. Such methods are in short supply. The combination of symmetry projection for strong correlation and…
We introduce a simple generalization of the well known geminal wavefunction already applied in Quantum Chemistry to atoms and small molecules. The main feature of the proposed wavefunction is the presence of the antisymmetric geminal part…
The Colle and Salvetti approach [Theoret. Chim. Acta, 37, 329 (1975)] to the calculation of the correlation energy of a system is modified in order to explicitly include into the theory the kinetic contribution to the correlation energy.…
We present an efficient \textit{ab initio} method for calculating the electronic structure and total energy of strongly correlated electron systems. The method extends the traditional Gutzwiller approximation for one-particle operators to…
Electronic structure methods built around double-electron excitations have a rich history in quantum chemistry. However, it seems to be the case that such methods are only suitable in particular situations and are not naturally equipped to…
We propose a streamlined combination scheme of the transcorrelation (TC) and coupled cluster (CC) theory, which not only increases the convergence rate with respect to the basis set, but also extends the applicability of the lowest order CC…
A new method that accurately describes strongly correlated states and captures dynamical correlation is presented. It is derived as a modification of coupled-cluster theory with single and double excitations (CCSD) through consideration of…
We describe a coupled cluster framework for coupled systems of electrons and phonons. Neutral and charged excitations are accessed via the equation-of-motion version of the theory. Benchmarks on the Hubbard-Holstein model allow us to assess…
In electronic structure theory, restricted single-reference coupled cluster (CC) captures weak correlation but fails catastrophically under strong correlation. Spin-projected unrestricted Hartree-Fock (SUHF), on the other hand, misses weak…
Describing the Coulomb interactions between electrons in atomic or molecular systems is an important step to help us obtain accurate results for the different observables in the system. One convenient approach is to separate the dynamic…
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) algorithms have long relied on Jastrow factors to incorporate dynamic correlation into trial wave functions. While Jastrow-type wave functions have been widely employed in real-space algorithms, they have seen…
