Sub-system quantum dynamics using coupled cluster downfolding techniques

Karol Kowalski, Nicholas P. Bauman

In this paper, we discuss extending the sub-system embedding sub-algebra coupled cluster formalism and the double unitary coupled cluster (DUCC) ansatz to the time domain. An important part of the analysis is associated with proving the exactness of the DUCC ansatz based on the general many-body form of anti-Hermitian cluster operators defining external and internal excitations. Using these formalisms, it is possible to calculate the energy of the entire system as an eigenvalue of downfolded/effective Hamiltonian in the active space, which is identifiable with the sub-system of the composite system. It can also be shown that downfolded Hamiltonians integrate out Fermionic degrees of freedom that do not correspond to the physics encapsulated by the active space. In this paper, we extend these results to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, showing that a similar construct is possible to partition a system into a sub-system that varies slowly in time and a remaining sub-system that corresponds to fast oscillations. This time-dependent formalism allows coupled cluster quantum dynamics to be extended to larger systems and for the formulation of novel quantum algorithms based on the quantum Lanczos approach, which has recently been considered in the literature.

Coupled Cluster Downfolding Theory: towards efficient many-body algorithms for dimensionality reduction of composite quantum systems

Nicholas P. Bauman, Karol Kowalski

The recently introduced coupled cluster (CC) downfolding techniques for reducing the dimensionality of quantum many-body problems recast the CC formalism in the form of the renormalization procedure allowing, for the construction of effective (or downfolded) Hamiltonians in small-dimensionality sub-space, usually identified with the so-called active space, of the entire Hilbert space. The resulting downfolded Hamiltonians integrate out the external (out-of-active-space) Fermionic degrees of freedom from the internal (in-the-active-space) parameters of the wave function, which can be determined as components of the eigenvectors of the downfolded Hamiltonians in the active space. This paper will discuss the extension of non-Hermitian (associated with standard CC formulations) and Hermitian (associated with the unitary CC approaches) downfolding formulations to composite quantum systems. The non-Hermitian formulation can provide a platform for developing local CC approaches, while the Hermitian one can serve as an ideal foundation for developing various quantum computing applications based on the limited quantum resources. We also discuss the algorithm for extracting the semi-analytical form of the inter-electron interactions in the active spaces.
