Communication: multireference equation of motion coupled cluster: a transform and diagonalize approach to electronic structure.
The novel multireference equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (MREOM-CC) approaches provide versatile and accurate access to a large number of electronic states. The methods proceed by a sequence of many-body similarity transformations and a subsequent diagonalization of the transformed Hamiltonian over a compact subspace. The transformed Hamiltonian is a connected entity and preserves spin- and spatial symmetry properties of the original Hamiltonian, but is no longer Hermitean. The final diagonalization spaces are defined in terms of a complete active space (CAS) and limited excitations (1h, 1p, 2h, …) out of the CAS. The methods are invariant to rotations of orbitals within their respective…
Multireference equation-of-motion coupled cluster theory.
A generalization of the equation-of-motion coupled cluster theory is proposed, which is built upon a multireference parent state. This method is suitable for a number of electronic states of a system that can be described by similar active spaces, i.e., different linear combinations of the same set of active space determinants. One of the suitable states is chosen as the parent state and the dominant dynamical correlation is optimized for this state using an internally contracted multireference coupled cluster ansatz. The remaining correlation and orbital relaxation effects are obtained via an uncontracted diagonalization of the transformed Hamiltonian, Ĥ = e(-T) Ĥe(T), in a compact multire…
