1 Ab Initio Electromagnetic Transitions with the IMSRG Nathan Parzuchowski Michigan State University March, / 1

2 Outline IMSRG IMSRG rotates the Hamiltonian into a coordinate system where simple methods (e.g. Hartree-Fock) are approximately exact: H(s) = U(s)HU (s) / 1

3 EOM-IMSRG Approaches for Excited States Additional processing needed for excited states. GS-decoupling has softened couplings between excitation rank. Equations-of-motion: Approximately diagonalize excitation block. 3 / 1

4 EOM-IMSRG Equations-of-Motion IMSRG EOM-IMSRG equation, in terms of evolved operators: [ H(s), X ν (s)] Φ 0 = ω ν X ν (s) Φ 0 IMSRG: No correlations between ground and excited states. X ν = ph x p h a pa h + 1 x pp hh a pa p a h a h pp hh Truncation to two-body ladder operators: EOM-IMSRG(,). / 1

5 Effective Operators Effective Operators in the IMSRG IMSRG unitary transformation can be explicitly constructed: IMSRG via Magnus expansion: U(s) = e Ω(s) dω ds = η + [Ω, η] 1 [Ω, [Ω, η]] + Effective operators from Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff: Ō(s) = O + [Ω, O] + 1 [Ω, [Ω, O]] + T.

12 Conclusion Summary/Outlook Spectra and observables are now available with EOM- and VS-IMSRG Results are consistent with NCSM. E strengths consistently under-predicted (except 1 C). Moving Forward... EOM-IMSRG is systematically improvable, perturbative corrections are possible. Next: multi-reference-eom-imsrg (Heiko s talk) for static correlations and open shells. 1 / 1
