A Possibility For a Multi-Reference Coupled-Cluster: The MrexpT Ansatz

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Challenges and Advances in Computational Chemistry and Physics ((COCH,volume 11))

Abstract

This contribution describes the derivation and analysis of the MRexpT ansatz. After a brief discussion of the fundamental difficulties with the generalization of the single-reference coupled-cluster ansatz to the multi-reference case (despite a significant number of research activities in various groups this process is to be considered still unfinished) this chapter gives a brief overview of the literature and shortly discusses a few selected approaches. Subsequently the MRexpT ansatz is introduced and theoretical properties are discussed in some detail. Apart from its lack of core/valence connectivity MRexpT offers many beneficial properties and shows a high numerical accuracy. The latter is illustrated by a number of selected applications.
