1 Building a wavefunction within the Complete-Active Active-Space Coupled-Cluster Cluster with Singles and Doubles formalism: straightforward description of quasidegeneracy Dmitry I. Lyakh (Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine) Vladimir V. Ivanov (Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine) and Ludwik Adamowicz (University of Arizona, USA) INT-08-a, University of Washington, Seattle, USA, 008

2 Smart CCSD Size-extensivity extensivity T explicitly correlates electron pairs T is responsible for orbital relaxation O(N 6 ) dependent upon the basis set size Excellent model for dynamic electron correlation accounting if: there is one determinant which dominates in the wavefunction expansion The reference determinant which defines Fermi vacuum + Ψ = e T T 0 0

3 Configurational QuasiDegeneracy Single Reference case: : C k <<, k k C0 HMultiReference (case: 0 0) MultiReference case: C { 0,,..., M }: M C i= 0 <<, k k (i HWeaker Condition k {0,,...,M})

4 MultiReference Phenomena Bond Breaking separation onto two open shell fragments (non-dynamic correlation) Transition States Open-shell Ground and Excited states spin and spatial orbital momentum symmetries (static correlation)

5 0 Failure of CCSD Singles Doubles Excitation Level Singles Singles Doubles Doubles Singles Singles Doubles Singles, Doubles EXPLICIT accounting; Singles, Doubles IMPLICIT accounting CCSD approximation becomes too rough when configurational quasidegeneracy is present Higher excitations become important because of propagation via dominating configurations: 0>, >, > Disbalanced configurational environment for 0>, >, >

6 Generalization of CCSD It is natural to explicitly treat all single and double excitations with respect to all important configurations Selection of important configurations is done by using the Complete-Active Active-Space concept: distributions of active electrons among the active orbitals generate the reference configurations those are assumed to dominate in the total wavefunction proper zero-order order approximation

7 Orbital Space Structure β α virtual spin-orbitals, a k ACTIVE ORBITAL SPACE Active electrons occupied spin-orbitals, i k virtual inactive spin-orbitals, a k virtual active spin-orbitals, A k occupied active spin-orbitals, I k All possible distributions of active electrons among the active orbitals form the REFERENCE SPACE: COMPLETE ACTIVE SPACE occupied inactive spin-orbitals, i k

8 The essence of MR schemes The essence of any multireference approach is to extract the most essential part of the total wavefunction and then to parametrize the rest of the wavefunction through non-linear amplitude products Singles and doubles upon all the reference configurations are assumed to form this most essential part of the total wavefunction

9 Different MR formalisms Fock Space MRCC State-Universal MRCC Single Reference Based MRCC State-Specific MRCC RMR-CCSD CASCCSD MkMRCCSD MRexpT BWMRCC COMMON FEATURE: explicit account of all single and double excitations with respect to all reference determinants

10 MRCC structure of Hilbert space P reference subspace spanned by reference configurations (usually CAS); S external subspace spanned by all single and double excitations with respect to all reference determinants (reference determinants themselves are excluded); R=P S iterative subspace. Every determinant from R is assigned its own variable (amplitude or CI coefficient); Q orthogonal complement to R H=R Q Hilbert space

11 Single Reference formalism for MultiReference problems: CASCCSD Tˆ k Tˆ k N. Oliphant and L. Adamowicz, JCP 94, 9 (99);JCP 96, 3739(99); P.Piecuch, N.Oliphant and L.Adamowicz, JCP 99,875 (993): building the MRCCSD wavefunction upon one formal reference determinant: (Tˆ + Tˆ + Tˆ 3 + Tˆ Tˆ M ) ΨOA = e 0 where = = k! k! k! k! a,..., a i,..., i k t k a... a i... i a, a,a...,a i, i,i,...,i k k k k aˆ + t aˆ + I...ˆ a a, a,a i i...i k iˆ + k k...,a iˆ k k aˆ +...ˆ i aˆ +  + - regular T operator  +... + k Î k Î k 3...Î iˆ iˆ Formal Reference determinant - Active-Space restricted T: Only two occupied/virtual indices at most are allowed to run through entire occupied/virtual range. All other indices MUST belong to the active orbital space! Some selected higher excited cluster will be present in OA ansatz All single and double excitations with respect to all references have own amplitude

12 CASCCSD excitations Singles Doubles Excitation Level Singles Singles Doubles Doubles Singles Singles Doubles Now ALL Singles and Doubles are explicitly accounted for! Selected higher excited clusters are included into the wave operator The ansatz obtained is symmetry-broken, that is, there is one specific reference determinant to be chosen as a FORMAL REFERENCE In order to achieve the best convergence with respect to the excitation level the formal reference MUST be the dominating determinant in the total wave function

13 CASCCSD method Balanced description of dynamic and non- dynamic electron correlation: ext ext ext ext ext ext ext Ψ = exp(tˆ + Tˆ + Tˆ + Tˆ +...Tˆ + Tˆ + + Tˆ + CASCCSD ( + Ĉ int + Ĉ int Ĉ int M ) M M M ) Spans the reference space.

17 Choosing a wavefunction It necessary to estimate importance of different excitation levels for description of a certain problem It necessary to select a proper minimal active space which is sufficient for extracting the most essential part of the wavefunction

18 Excitation Level Diagnostics Level weight index: τ = W N () ( μ ) ( W = (C μ corr Shannon Indices (informational content): ( μ ) ( μ ) (Ck ) (Ck ) - Total: IC = log k,μ N N k k ) ) N N = corr μ= 0 ( W μ) - Excitation Level: I μ = k ( μ ) (Ck ) N log ( μ ) (Ck ) N - Inter-level: I W = μ W N (μ) log W N (μ) Every CC approach contains all determinants of all excitation levels!

41 Excited States Problem: XCASCCSD extension The CASCCSD ansatz is not invariant with respect to the choice of the formal reference, 0> If the wave function is dominated by a pair of degenerate (symmetrical) determinants and one of them is taken as the formal reference, then the wavefunction will be symmetry broken

42 Degenerate formal references Symmetrical (degenerate) configurations belong to a different excitation level that breaks the spin or spatial orbital momentum symmetry of the total CASCCSD wave function

43 XCASCCSD extension Instead of using T-amplitudes T as variables we use in the XCASCCSD approach CI-coefficients as independent variables Then degenerate (symmetrical) configurations are assigned with only one variable an appropriate CI-coefficient This scheme guarantees proper spin or spatial symmetry for the major part (iterative subspace) of the total CASCCSD wave function

44 XCASCCSD extension To allow the use of the degenerate formal references we exploit CI-coefficient -> > T-amplitude T and back conversions during solving the CASCCSD equations: C C C C 3 4 = = = = T T T T !

52 Conclusions Concept of explicit accounting for all single and double excitations with respect to all reference determinants appears to be very efficient in treating the problems with quasidegeneracy: the iterative subspace formed in this way usually recovers most of the total wavefunction Different formalisms may be used for obtaining the values of variables

53 Conclusions The most straightforward approach CASCCSD seems to be efficient as well. Formal computational cost O(N 6 ) or O(N 7 ) Well-defined algorithms for active space selection can be established (POC, NOE) XCASCCSD extension of the CASCCSD approach allows treating different excited states with the required symmetry preserved

54 Conclusions However the problem of change of the formal reference along the PES needs further investigation Also dependence of a size of the minimal active space upon the basis set size should be established R/H ratio for bigger basis sets should be studied
