We introduce single and double particle-hole excitations in the recently revived spin-projected Hartree-Fock. Our motivation is to treat static correlation with spin-projection and recover the residual correlation, mostly dynamic in nature,…
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…
In electronic structure theory, the availability of analytical derivative is one of the desired features for a method to be useful in practical applications, as it allows for geometry optimization as well as computation of molecular…
We present a spin-free, size-extensive, and size-consistent coupled cluster method based on a generalised normal ordered exponential ansatz. This approach is a natural generalisation of single-reference coupled cluster theory for arbitrary…
The past several years have seen renewed interest in the use of symmetry-projected Hartree-Fock for the description of strong correlations. Unfortunately, these symmetry-projected mean-field methods do not adequately account for dynamic…
The dual exponential coupled cluster (CC) theory proposed by Tribedi et al.[J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2020, 16, 10, 6317-6328] performs significantly better than the coupled cluster theory with singles and doubles excitations (CCSD) due to…
In this paper, we report on a correctly scaling novel coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) implementation for arbitrary high-spin open-shell states. The chosen cluster operator is completely spin-free, i.e. employs spatial…
Spin-projected Hartree-Fock is introduced as a particle-hole excitation ansatz over a symmetry-adapted reference determinant. Remarkably, this expansion has an analytic expression that we were able to decipher. While the form of the…
A simple and commonly employed approximate technique with which one can examine spatially disordered systems when strong electronic correlations are present is based on the use of real-space unrestricted self-consistent Hartree-Fock wave…
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 quadratic $T_2^2$ terms that typically balance out small energy…
Size extensivity, defined as the correct scaling of energy with system size, is a desirable property for any many-body method. Traditional CI methods are not size extensive hence the error increases as the system gets larger. Coupled…
When the number of strongly correlated electrons becomes larger, the single-reference coupled-cluster (CC) CCSD, CCSDT, etc. hierarchy displays an erratic behavior, while traditional multi-reference approaches may no longer be applicable…
The symmetry-projected Hartree--Fock ansatz for the electronic structure problem can efficiently account for static correlation in molecules, yet it is often unable to describe dynamic correlation in a balanced manner. Here, we consider a…
While configuration interaction singles (CIS) provides a computationally efficient description of excited states, it systematically overestimates excitation energies and performs poorly for strongly correlated systems, partly due to the…
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…

Coupled cluster and symmetry projected Hartree-Fock are two central paradigms in electronic structure theory. However, they are very different. Single reference coupled cluster is highly successful for treating weakly correlated systems,…
