Full-CI Quantum Chemistry using the Density-Matrix Renormalization Group

Abstract

We describe how density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) can be used to solve the full-CI problem in quantum chemistry. As an illustration of the potential of this method, we apply it to a paramagnetic molecule. In particular, we show the effect of various basis set, the scaling as the fourth power of the size of the problem, and compare the DMRG with other methods.

The ab-initio density matrix renormalization group in practice

Roberto Olivares‐Amaya, Weifeng Hu, Naoki Nakatani +3 more

The ab-initio density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is a tool that can be applied to a wide variety of interesting problems in quantum chemistry. Here, we examine the density matrix renormalization group from the vantage point of the quantum chemistry user. What kinds of problems is the DMRG well-suited to? What are the largest systems that can be treated at practical cost? What sort of accuracies can be obtained, and how do we reason about the computational difficulty in different molecules? By examining a diverse benchmark set of molecules: π-electron systems, benchmark main-group and transition metal dimers, and the Mn-oxo-salen and Fe-porphine organometallic compounds, we provide some answers to these questions, and show how the density matrix renormalization group is used in practice.

Ab initio quantum chemistry using the density matrix renormalization group

Steven R. White, Richard L. Martin

In this paper we describe how the density matrix renormalization group can be used for quantum chemical calculations for molecules, as an alternative to traditional methods, such as configuration interaction or coupled cluster approaches. As a demonstration of the potential of this approach, we present results for the H2O molecule in a standard gaussian basis. Results for the total energy of the system compare favorably with the best traditional quantum chemical methods.

The Density Matrix Renormalization Group Algorithm in Quantum Chemistry

Konrad Heinrich Marti, Markus Reiher

Quantum Chemistry / Electron Correlation / Density Matrix Renormalization Group / Transition Metal Chemistry In this work, we derive the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm in the language of configuration interaction. Furthermore, the development of DMRG in quantum chemistry is reviewed and DMRG-specific peculiarities are discussed. Finally, we discuss new results for a dinuclear μ -oxo bridged copper cluster, which is an important active-site structure in transition-metal chemistry, an area in which we pioneered the application of DMRG.

Clifford augmented density matrix renormalization group for \textit{ab initio} quantum chemistry

Fu, Lizhong, Shang, Honghui, Jinlong Yang +1 more

The recently proposed Clifford augmented density matrix renormalization group (CA-DMRG) method seamlessly integrates Clifford circuits with matrix product states, and takes advantage of the expression power from both. CA-DMRG has been shown to be able to achieve higher accuracy than standard DMRG on commonly used lattice models, with only moderate computational overhead compared to the latter. In this work, we propose an efficient scheme in CA-DMRG to deal with \textit{ab initio} quantum chemistry Hamiltonians, and apply it to study several molecular systems. Our numerical results show that CA-DMRG can reach higher accuracy than DMRG using the same bond dimension, pointing out a promising route to push the boundary of solving \textit{ab initio} quantum chemistry with strong static correlations.
