Efficient computer implementations of the GW approximation must approximate a numerically challenging frequency integral; the integral can be performed analytically, but doing so leads to an expensive implementation whose computational cost…
We introduce a systematic hierarchy of one-body Green's function methods derived from the $GW$ approximation, constructed by progressively reducing the dynamical content of the self-energy. Starting from the fully dynamical Dyson…
We present a self-consistent approach for computing the correlated quasiparticle spectrum of charged excitations in iterative $\mathcal{O}[N^5]$ computational time. This is based on the auxiliary second-order Green's function approach [O.…
We expand on a recently introduced alternate framework for $GW$ simulation of charged excitations [Scott et. al., J. Chem. Phys., 158, 124102 (2023)], based around the conservation of directly computed spectral moments of the GW…
By recasting the non-linear frequency-dependent $GW$ quasiparticle equation into a linear eigenvalue problem, we explain the appearance of multiple solutions and unphysical discontinuities in various physical quantities computed within the…
We consider quantum Hamiltonians of the form H(t)=H+V(t) where the spectrum of H is semibounded and discrete, and the eigenvalues behave as E_n~n^\alpha, with 0<\alpha<1. In particular, the gaps between successive eigenvalues decay as…
The GW approximation is widely used for reliable and accurate modeling of single-particle excitations. It also serves as a starting point for many theoretical methods, such as its use in the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) and dynamical…
Using the simple (symmetric) Hubbard dimer, we analyze some important features of the $GW$ approximation. We show that the problem of the existence of multiple quasiparticle solutions in the (perturbative) one-shot $GW$ method and its…
The GW approximation of many-body perturbation theory is an accurate method for computing electron addition and removal energies of molecules and solids. In a canonical implementation, however, its computational cost is $O(N^4)$ in the…
The GW Approximation is an ab initio approach to calculating electronic structure which avoids using the Local Density (LDA) Approximation, the Generalized Gradient (GGA) Approximation, or similar density functionals. It goes beyond the…
An approximate diagonalization method is proposed that combines exact diagonalization and perturbation expansion to calculate low energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian. The method involves deriving an effective Hamiltonian…
We have developed a new type of self-consistent scheme within the $GW$ approximation, which we call quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ (QS$GW$). We have shown that QS$GW$ rather well describes energy bands for a wide-range of materials,…
GW calculations with fully self-consistent G and W -- based on the iterative solution of the Dyson equation -- provide an approach for consistently describing ground and excited states on the same quantum mechanical level. We show that for…
We report an all-electron, atomic orbital (AO) based, two-component (2C) implementation of the $GW$ approximation (GWA) for closed-shell molecules. Our algorithm is based on the space-time formulation of the GWA and uses analytical…
The goal of the present account is to review our efforts to obtain and apply a ``collective'' Hamiltonian for a few, approximately decoupled, adiabatic degrees of freedom, starting from a Hamiltonian system with more or many more degrees of…
The many-body perturbation theory within the $GW$ approximation is a widely used method for describing the electronic band structures in real materials. Its application to large-scale systems is, however, impeded by its high computational…
We use a Gaussian wave functional for the ground state to reorder the Hamiltonian into a free part with a variationally determined mass and the rest. Once spontaneous symmetry breaking is taken into account, the residual Hamiltonian can, in…
We report the successful adaptation of the quasi-boson approximation, a technique traditionally employed in nuclear physics, to the analysis of the two-dimensional electron gas. We show that the correlation energy estimated from this…
Hamiltonian truncation is a non-perturbative numerical method for calculating observables of a quantum field theory. The starting point for this method is to truncate the interacting Hamiltonian to a finite-dimensional space of states…
We investigate the performance of the GW approximation by comparison to exact results for small model systems. The role of the chemical potentials in Dyson's equation as well as the consequences of numerical resonance broadening are…
