Some recent developments in coupled cluster theory

Abstract This article presents an educational overview of the latest mathematical developments in coupled cluster (CC) theory, beginning with Schneider's seminal work from 2009 that introduced the first local analysis of CC theory. We provide a tutorial review of second quantization and the CC ansatz, laying the groundwork for understanding the mathematical basis of the theory. This is followed by a detailed exploration of the most recent mathematical advancements in CC theory. Our review starts with an in‐depth look at the local analysis pioneered by Schneider which has since been applied to various CC methods. We subsequently discuss the graph‐based framework for CC methods developed by Csirik and Laestadius. This framework provides a comprehensive platform for comparing different CC methods, including multireference approaches. Next, we delve into the latest numerical analysis results analyzing the single reference CC method developed by Hassan, Maday, and Wang. This very general approach is based on the invertibility of the CC function's Fréchet derivative. We conclude the article with a discussion on the recent incorporation of algebraic geometry into CC theory, highlighting how this novel and fundamentally different mathematical perspective has furthered our understanding and provides exciting pathways to new computational approaches.Abstract This article presents an educational overview of the latest mathematical developments in coupled cluster (CC) theory, beginning with Schneider's seminal work from 2009 that introduced the first local analysis of CC theory.

Thermal coupled cluster theory for SU(2) systems

Coupled cluster (CC) has established itself as a powerful theory to study correlated quantum many-body systems. Finite-temperature generalizations of CC theory have attracted considerable interest and have been shown to work as nicely as the ground-state theory. However, most of these recent developments address only fermionic or bosonic systems. The distinct structure of the $su(2)$ algebra requires the development of a similar thermal CC theory for spin degrees of freedom. In this paper, we provide a formulation of our thermofield-inspired thermal CC for SU(2) systems. We apply the thermal CC to the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick system as well as the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model as benchmark applications to highlight the accuracy of thermal CC in the study of finite-temperature phase diagrams in SU(2) systems.Coupled cluster (CC) has established itself as a powerful theory to study correlated quantum many-body systems.
