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…
The Lee-Wick models are higher-derivative theories that are claimed to be unitary thanks to a peculiar cancelation mechanism. In this paper, we provide a new formulation of the models, to clarify several aspects that have remained quite…
We revisit the long-standing conjecture that in unitary field theories, scale invariance implies conformality. We explain why the Zamolodchikov-Polchinski proof in D=2 does not work in higher dimensions. We speculate which new ideas might…
We prove that the amplitudes for the (d,p), (d,pn) and (e,e'p) reactions determining the asymptotic behavior of the exact scattering wave functions in the corresponding channels are invariant under unitary correlation operators while the…
According to a fundamental result in quantum computing, any unitary transformation on a composite system can be generated using so-called 2-local unitaries that act only on two subsystems. Beyond its importance in quantum computing, this…

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…

In strongly coupled field theories, perturbation theory cannot be employed to study the low-energy spectrum. Thus, non-perturbative techniques are required. We employ the variational method, a rigorous, non-perturbative approach which…
