Projection-Based Density Matrix Renormalization Group in Density Functional Theory Embedding.

ABSTRACT: The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method has already proved itself as a very efficient and accurate computational method, which can treat large active spaces and capture the major part of strong correlation. Its application on larger molecules is, however, limited by its own computational scaling as well as demands of methods for treatment of the missing dynamical electron correlation. In this work, we present the first step in the direction of combining DMRG with density functional theory (DFT), one of the most employed quantum chemical methods with favorable scaling, by means of the projection-based wave function (WF)-in-DFT embedding. On two proof-of-concept but important molecular examples, we demonstrate that the developed DMRG-in-DFT approach provides a very accurate description of molecules with a strongly correlated fragment.

Density matrix renormalization group pair-density functional theory (DMRG-PDFT): singlet-triplet gaps in polyacenes and polyacetylenes.

Project description:The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is a powerful method to treat static correlation. Here we present an inexpensive way to calculate correlation energy starting from a DMRG wave function using pair-density functional theory (PDFT). We applied this new approach, called DMRG-PDFT, to study singlet-triplet gaps in polyacenes and polyacetylenes that require active spaces larger than the feasibility limit of the conventional complete active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method. The results match reasonably well with the most reliable literature values and have only a moderate dependence on the compression of the initial DMRG wave function. Furthermore, DMRG-PDFT is significantly less expensive than other commonly applied ways of adding additional correlation to DMRG, such as DMRG followed by multireference perturbation theory or multireference configuration interaction.

Density Matrix Embedding Using Multiconfiguration Pair-Density Functional Theory.

Project description:We present a quantum embedding method for ground and excited states of extended systems that uses multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) with densities provided by periodic density matrix embedding theory (pDMET). We compute local excitations in oxygen mono- and divacancies on a magnesium oxide (100) surface and find absolute deviations within 0.05 eV between pDMET using the MC-PDFT, denoted as pDME-PDFT, and the more expensive, nonembedded MC-PDFT approach. We further use pDME-PDFT to calculate local excitations in larger supercells for the monovacancy defect, for which the use of nonembedded MC-PDFT is prohibitively costly.

Multireference Perturbation Theory with Cholesky Decomposition for the Density Matrix Renormalization Group.

Project description:We present a second-order N-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2) based on a density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) reference wave function that exploits a Cholesky decomposition of the two-electron repulsion integrals (CD-DMRG-NEVPT2). With a parameter-free multireference perturbation theory approach at hand, the latter allows us to efficiently describe static and dynamic correlation in large molecular systems. We demonstrate the applicability of CD-DMRG-NEVPT2 for spin-state energetics of spin-crossover complexes involving calculations with more than 1000 atomic basis functions. We first assess, in a study of a heme model, the accuracy of the strongly and partially contracted variant of CD-DMRG-NEVPT2 before embarking on resolving a controversy about the spin ground state of a cobalt tropocoronand complex.

Polaritonic Chemistry Using the Density Matrix Renormalization Group Method.

Project description:The emerging field of polaritonic chemistry explores the behavior of molecules under strong coupling with cavity modes. Despite recent developments in ab initio polaritonic methods for simulating polaritonic chemistry under electronic strong coupling, their capabilities are limited, especially in cases where the molecule also features strong electronic correlation. To bridge this gap, we have developed a novel method for cavity QED calculations utilizing the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) algorithm in conjunction with the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian. Our approach is applied to investigate the effect of the cavity on the S0-S1 transition of n-oligoacenes, with n ranging from 2 to 5, encompassing 22 fully correlated π orbitals in the largest pentacene molecule. Our findings indicate that the influence of the cavity intensifies with larger acenes. Additionally, we demonstrate that, unlike the full determinantal representation, DMRG efficiently optimizes and eliminates excess photonic degrees of freedom, resulting in an asymptotically constant computational cost as the photonic basis increases.

Meeting the Challenge of Magnetic Coupling in a Triply-Bridged Chromium Dimer: Complementary Broken-Symmetry Density Functional Theory and Multireference Density Matrix Renormalization Group Perspectives.

Project description:Face-sharing octahedral dinuclear Cr(III) compounds with d3-d3 electronic configurations represent nontrivial examples of electronic complexity, posing particular challenges for theoretical and computational studies. A tris-hydroxy-bridged Cr(III)-Cr(III) system has proven to be a richly rewarding target for studies of magnetism and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. It was also reported to be a peculiarly difficult system to treat with density functional theory (DFT). In this work the magnetic coupling problem for this dimer is approached with broken-symmetry (BS)-DFT and multireference calculations that utilize the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) to handle full-valence active spaces. BS-DFT is shown to recover the correct ordering and energy spacing of Heisenberg spin states if used in conjunction with appropriate spin projection procedures, albeit with pronounced functional sensitivity. The contrasting conclusions of previous studies are traced to incorrect inclusion of electronically excited configurations. Analysis of the direct and differential overlap of corresponding orbital pairs from the BS-DFT solution indicates that metal-metal through-space interaction is the dominant contributor to antiferromagnetic coupling. At the DFT level a procedure that utilizes pseudopotential substitution is demonstrated that allows evaluation of the direct exchange vs superexchange contributions. A complementary description is obtained with DMRG-SCF calculations that enable state-averaged CASSCF calculations with both metal and bridge orbitals in the active space. A localized orbital subspace analysis supports the DFT conclusions that in contrast to doubly bridged isoelectronic analogues, antiferromagnetic coupling in the chromium dimer arises primarily from direct metal-metal interaction but is significantly enhanced by ligand-mediated superexchange.

A Simple, Exact Density-Functional-Theory Embedding Scheme.

Project description:Density functional theory (DFT) provides a formally exact framework for quantum embedding. The appearance of nonadditive kinetic energy contributions in this context poses significant challenges, but using optimized effective potential (OEP) methods, various groups have devised DFT-in-DFT methods that are equivalent to Kohn-Sham (KS) theory on the whole system. This being the case, we note that a very considerable simplification arises from doing KS theory instead. We then describe embedding schemes that enforce Pauli exclusion via a projection technique, completely avoiding numerically demanding OEP calculations. Illustrative applications are presented using DFT-in-DFT, wave-function-in-DFT, and wave-function-in-Hartree-Fock embedding, and using an embedded many-body expansion.

Extending density functional embedding theory for covalently bonded systems.

Project description:Quantum embedding theory aims to provide an efficient solution to obtain accurate electronic energies for systems too large for full-scale, high-level quantum calculations. It adopts a hierarchical approach that divides the total system into a small embedded region and a larger environment, using different levels of theory to describe each part. Previously, we developed a density-based quantum embedding theory called density functional embedding theory (DFET), which achieved considerable success in metals and semiconductors. In this work, we extend DFET into a density-matrix-based nonlocal form, enabling DFET to study the stronger quantum couplings between covalently bonded subsystems. We name this theory density-matrix functional embedding theory (DMFET), and we demonstrate its performance in several test examples that resemble various real applications in both chemistry and biochemistry. DMFET gives excellent results in all cases tested thus far, including predicting isomerization energies, proton transfer energies, and highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gaps for local chromophores. Here, we show that DMFET systematically improves the quality of the results compared with the widely used state-of-the-art methods, such as the simple capped cluster model or the widely used ONIOM method.

Computing Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Spectra Using The Density Matrix Renormalization Group Method.

Project description:We present a method for computing the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra in one-dimensional systems using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. By using DMRG to address this problem, we shift the computational bottleneck from the memory requirements associated with exact diagonalization (ED) calculations to the computational time associated with the DMRG algorithm. This approach is then used to obtain RIXS spectra on cluster sizes well beyond state-of-the-art ED techniques. Using this new procedure, we compute the low-energy magnetic excitations observed in Cu L-edge RIXS for the challenging corner shared CuO4 chains, both for large multi-orbital clusters and downfolded t-J chains. We are able to directly compare results obtained from both models defined in clusters with identical momentum resolution. In the strong coupling limit, we find that the downfolded t-J model captures the main features of the magnetic excitations probed by RIXS only after a uniform scaling of the spectra is made.

Simulating Real-Time Molecular Electron Dynamics Efficiently Using the Time-Dependent Density Matrix Renormalization Group.

Project description:Compared to ground-state electronic structure optimizations, accurate simulations of molecular real-time electron dynamics are usually much more difficult to perform. To simulate electron dynamics, the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group (TDDMRG) has been shown to offer an attractive compromise between accuracy and cost. However, many simulation parameters significantly affect the quality and efficiency of a TDDMRG simulation. So far, it is unclear whether common wisdom from ground-state DMRG carries over to the TDDMRG, and a guideline on how to choose these parameters is missing. Here, in order to establish such a guideline, we investigate the convergence behavior of the main TDDMRG simulation parameters, such as time integrator, the choice of orbitals, and the choice of matrix-product-state representation for complex-valued nonsinglet states. In addition, we propose a method to select orbitals that are tailored to optimize the dynamics. Lastly, we showcase the TDDMRG by applying it to charge migration ionization dynamics in furfural, where we reveal a rapid conversion from an ionized state with a σ character to one with a π character within less than a femtosecond.

Renormalization group theory for percolation in time-varying networks.

Project description:Motivated by multi-hop communication in unreliable wireless networks, we present a percolation theory for time-varying networks. We develop a renormalization group theory for a prototypical network on a regular grid, where individual links switch stochastically between active and inactive states. The question whether a given source node can communicate with a destination node along paths of active links is equivalent to a percolation problem. Our theory maps the temporal existence of multi-hop paths on an effective two-state Markov process. We show analytically how this Markov process converges towards a memoryless Bernoulli process as the hop distance between source and destination node increases. Our work extends classical percolation theory to the dynamic case and elucidates temporal correlations of message losses. Quantification of temporal correlations has implications for the design of wireless communication and control protocols, e.g. in cyber-physical systems such as self-organized swarms of drones or smart traffic networks.
