How to renormalize coupled cluster theory

Nuclear Theory 2024-02-16 v1

Abstract

Coupled cluster theory is an attractive tool to solve the quantum many-body problem because its singles and doubles (CCSD) approximation is computationally affordable and yields about 90% of the correlation energy. Capturing the remaining 10%, e.g. via including triples, is numerically expensive. Here we assume that short-range three-body correlations dominate and - following Lepage [How to renormalize the Schr\"odinger equation, arXiv:nucl-th/9706029] - that their effects can be included within CCSD by renormalizing the three-body contact interaction. We renormalize this contact in 16^{16}O and obtain accurate CCSD results for 24^{24}O, 2034^{20-34}Ne, 40,48^{40,48}Ca, 78^{78}Ni, 90^{90}Zr, and 100^{100}Sn.
