1 Multideterminant density-functional theory for static correlation Julien Toulouse Université Pierre & Marie Curie and CNRS, Paris, France Basel, Switzerland September 2015

2 Kohn-Sham DFT and static correlation 2/37 Kohn-Sham DFT: E exact = min Φ { } Φ ˆT + ˆV ne Φ +E Hxc [n Φ ] where Φ is single-determinant wave function Usual approximations for Exc [n]: LDA, GGA, meta-gga, hybrid. Mainly very successful but still improved accuracy is needed, particularly for systems with static correlation effects.

3 Kohn-Sham DFT and static correlation Static (or strong) correlation: systems with partially filled near-degenerate orbitals Examples: bond dissociation, transition metals,... In wave-function theory, static correlation usually requires a non-perturbative multideterminant wave function Static correlation effects are very much system-dependent, making the development of universal density-functional approximations difficult Density-functional approximations often display a partial compensation between self-interaction error and static correlation error 2/37 Kohn-Sham DFT: E exact = min Φ { } Φ ˆT + ˆV ne Φ +E Hxc [n Φ ] where Φ is single-determinant wave function Usual approximations for Exc [n]: LDA, GGA, meta-gga, hybrid. Mainly very successful but still improved accuracy is needed, particularly for systems with static correlation effects.

41 Other range-separated variants for static correlation Other methods for the long-range part: Multireference perturbation theory (NEVPT2): accounts for long-range dispersion interactions on top of MCSCF (Fromager, Cimiraglia, Jensen, PRA, 2010) Constrained-pairing mean-field theory (CPMFT): static correlation by breaking electron-number conservation (Tsuchimochi, Scuseria, Savin, JCP, 2010) Pair coupled-cluster doubles (pccd): static correlation by simplication of CCD (Garza, Bulik, Henderson, Scuseria, PCCP, 2015) Density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG): allows one to use largest active spaces (Hedegård, Knecht, Kielberg, Jensen, Reiher, JCP, 2015) Other approximation for the short-range part: Exact short-range exchange via optimized effective potential (Toulouse, Gori-Giorgi, Savin, TCA, 2005; Paziani, Moroni, Gori-Giorgi, Bachelet, PRB, 2006; Stoyanova, Teale, Toulouse, Helgaker, Fromager, JCP, 2013) 29/37

These approximate excited-state energies can be refined by extrapolation using the derivative of E µ n wrt µ: E n E µ n + µ 2 de µ n dµ } Rebolini, Toulouse, Teale, Helgaker, Savin, JCP, 2014; MP, 2015; PRA, /37
