The ground-state correlation energy calculated in the random-phase approximation (RPA) is known to be identical to that calculated using a subset of terms appearing in coupled-cluster theory with double excitations. In particular, this equivalence requires keeping only those terms that generate time-independent ring diagrams, in the Goldstone sense. Here I show that this equivalence extends to neutral excitation energies, for which those calculated in the RPA are identical to those calculated using an approximation to equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory with double excitations (EOM-CCD). The equivalence requires three approximations to EOM-CCD: first, the ground-state double-excitation amplitudes are obtained from the ring-CCD equations (the same as for the correlation energy); second, the EOM eigenvalue problem is truncated to the single-excitation (one particle + one hole) subspace; third, the similarity transformation of the Fock operator must be neglected, as it corresponds to a dressing of the single-particle propagator, which is not present in the conventional RPA.
Charge transfer excitations from exact and approximate ensemble Kohn-Sham theory
通过研究一个精确可解的一维分子模型的最低激发态,我们证明了Kohn-Sham系综的分量可以用来描述电荷转移。此外,我们通过使用最近制定的系综Hartree交换理论[Gould和Pittalis,Phys. Rev. Lett. 119,243001(2017)]。值得注意的是,我们的研究结果表明,三重激发准确地复制在所有情况下测试的解离曲线,即使在系统中的基态能量是穷人由于强的静态相关性。单重态激发表现出较大的偏差,从精确的结果,但仍然半定量地再现。
Coupled Cluster Channels in the Homogeneous Electron Gas
我们讨论了图形修改耦合集群双打(CCD)方程,其中不同的组的术语出环,梯子,交叉环和马赛克可以被删除,以形成近似的耦合集群方法,感兴趣的,由于它们的相似性与各种类型的随机相位近似。有限均匀电子气的基准为14-和54-电子系统在完整的基组限制在一个很宽的密度范围和性能的不同口味的CCD确定。这些结果证实,环一般过相关和梯子一般相关不足;马赛克只有CCD产生的结果令人惊讶地接近CCD。我们使用最近开发的数值分析[J. J. Shepherd和A. Grüneis,Phys. Rev. Lett. 110,226401(2013)]来研究这些方法在热力学极限中的行为。我们确定,马赛克,形成Brueckner Hamltonian,打开一个缺口的有效的一个粒子本征值在费米能量。数值证据表明,基于这种重整化的方法具有收敛能量的热力学极限,包括马赛克只有CCD,这只是一个重整MP2。所有其他方法,包括只有一个单一的通道,即梯形CCD,环CCD和交叉环CCD,似乎产生发散的能量;镶嵌条款的纳入防止这种情况发生。
