Single-reference coupled-cluster theory based on the multi-purpose cluster operator

Karol Kowalski, Nicholas P. Bauman

In this paper, we develop a theoretical framework that extends single-reference (SR) coupled-cluster (CC) theory beyond its conventional role of describing a single electronic state-typically the lowest-energy state within the symmetry sector defined by the reference determinant. Rather than viewing the SR-CC cluster operator solely as a device for reproducing one target state, we consider more general constructions in which different components of the cluster operator play distinct roles, ranging from encoding states of different symmetry than the reference to enabling SR-CC Ansatz to describe multiple states simultaneously. These developments lead to a new class of SR-CC downfolding formalisms in which the resulting active-space effective Hamiltonians are capable of concurrently representing multiple correlated states nonorthogonal to the reference function. We establish three theorems that formalize this extension and demonstrate that standard CC downfolding emerges as a special case of the proposed framework. Finally, we introduce a Hermitian variant based on a unitary CC representation, which enables realistic simulations of ground and excited states while reducing the quantum resources required.

Coupled-Cluster Imaginary-Time Evolution and the Coupled-Cluster Energy Variance

Yuhang Ai, Huanchen Zhai, Garnet Kin-Lic Chan

We discuss a coupled-cluster formalism for carrying out imaginary-time evolution from an arbitrary reference, and study the properties of the resulting evolution trajectories. The evolution converges to a solution of the standard coupled-cluster amplitude equations in the long-time limit if a finite valued limit exists, but when such a limit does not exist, the trajectories still contain additional information beyond the standard solutions. We introduce the coupled-cluster energy variance which through its minima identifies physically regularized coupled-cluster amplitudes when the solutions of the amplitude equations are unreasonable. We demonstrate the value of this formalism in several exploratory examples within single- and multi-reference coupled-cluster formulations.
