We present a robust, ab initio method for addressing atom-light interactions and apply it to photoionization of argon. We use a close-coupling ansatz constructed on a multi-configurational Hartree-Fock description of localized states and…
Calculations for two electrons in an elliptic quantum dot, using symmetry breaking at the unrestricted Hartree-Fock level and subsequent restoration of the broken parity via projection techniques, show that the electrons can localize and…
Background: The Hartree-Fock mean-field approximation is standard in combination with energy density functionals (EDF) that account for some dynamical correlations. Breaking and restoring the symmetries of the system allow for the inclusion…
Spin-polarized isospin asymmetric nuclear matter is studied within the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach. After a brief review of the formalism, we present and discuss the self-consistent single-particle potentials at various levels of…
We use a Hartree-Fock-Koopmans approach to study spin and interaction effects in a diffusive or chaotic quantum dot. In particular, we derive the statistics of the spacings between successive Coulomb-blockade peaks. We include fluctuations…

Atomic nuclei can exhibit shape coexistence and multi-reference physics that enters in their ground states, and to accurately capture the ensuing correlations and entanglement is challenging. We address this problem by applying…
The relativistic Hartree-Fock and electron correlation methods without the negative-energy orbital problem are examined on the basis of the quantum electrodynamics (QED) Hamiltonian. First, several QED Hamiltonians previously proposed are…
The ground states of the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model are studied within the unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) theory. Magnetic and charge properties are determined by systematic, large-scale, exact numerical calculations, and…
We present a detailed comparison of the self-consistent calculations based on the Hartree-Fock and the spin density functional theory for a spit-gate quantum wire in the IQH regime. We demonstrate that both approaches provide qualitatively…
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…
We propose two different schemes for second-order perturbation theory with spin-projected Hartree-Fock. Both schemes employ the same ansatz for the first-order wave function, which is a linear combination of spin-projected configurations.…
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,…
