A two-parameter extension of the density-scaled double hybrid approach of Sharkas et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 134, 064113 (2011)] is presented. It is based on the explicit treatment of a fraction of multideterminantal exact exchange. The…

Efficiently recovering dynamic correlation in strongly correlated systems without incurring prohibitive computational costs remains a central challenge in quantum chemistry. In this Perspective, we review and benchmark methods capable of…

The general procedure underlying Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations consists in optimizing orbitals for a self-consistent solution of the Roothaan-Hall equations in an iterative process. It is often ignored…

We present two efficient and intruder-free methods for treating dynamic correlation on top of general multi-configuration reference wave functions---including such as obtained by the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) with large…

Machine learning is rapidly accelerating materials and chemical discovery, but most current models target energies, forces, or selected molecular properties rather than the underlying many-body electronic structure. Learning…

Minimizing the energy of an $N$-electron system as a functional of a two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM), constrained by necessary $N$-representability conditions (conditions for the 2-RDM to represent an ensemble $N$-electron…

We have developed and implemented a self-consistent density functional method using standard norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a flexible, numerical LCAO basis set, which includes multiple-zeta and polarization orbitals. Exchange and…

A combined density and first-order reduced-density-matrix (1RDM) functional method is proposed for the calculation of potential energy curves (PECs) of molecular multibond dissociation. Its 1RDM functional part, a pair density functional,…

Density functional theory (DFT), the most widely adopted method in modern computational chemistry, fails to describe accurately the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems. Here we show that DFT can be formally and practically…

Favorably scaling numerical time-dependent many-electron techniques such as time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with adiabatic exchange-correlation potentials typically fail in capturing highly correlated electron dynamics. We…

Ideal density-functional approximations (DFAs) should account for dynamic, static, and nondynamic correlation. While common DFAs struggle with the latter two, the Ziegler-Rauk-Baerends-Daul multiplet sum method (MSM) provides a pragmatic…

Multicomponent density functional theory (DFT) enables the consistent quantum mechanical treatment of both electrons and protons. A major challenge has been the design of electron-proton correlation functionals that produce even…

We report the results of a first-principles study of dissociative electron attachment to H2O. The cross sections are obtained from nuclear dynamics calculations carried out in full dimensionality within the local complex potential model by…

Encoding the electronic structure of molecules using 2-electron reduced density matrices (2RDMs) as opposed to many-body wave functions has been a decades-long quest as the 2RDM contains sufficient information to compute the exact molecular…

Multi-configurational wave functions are known to describe electronic structure across a Born-Oppenheimer surface qualitatively correct. However, for quantitative reaction energies, dynamical correlation originating from the many…

Electron correlations in molecules can be divided in short range dynamical correlations, long range Van der Waals type interactions and near degeneracy static correlations. In this work we analyze for a one-dimensional model of a…

In order to obtain a reasonably accurate and easily implemented approach to many-electron calculations, we will develop a new Density Functional Theory (DFT). Specifically, we derive an approximation to electron density, the first term of…

In modeling low-dimensional electronic nanostructures, the evaluation of the electron-electron interaction is a challenging task. Here we present an accurate and practical density-functional approach to the two-dimensional many-electron…

Standard approximations for the exchange-correlation (XC) functional in Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) typically lead to unacceptably large errors when applied to strongly-correlated electronic systems. Partition-DFT (PDFT) is…

We propose a descriptor for molecular electronic structure that is based solely on the one- and two-electron integrals but is translationally, rotationally, and unitarily invariant. Then, directly exploiting size consistency, we train and…
