Efficient and accurate treatment of electron correlations with Correlation Matrix Renormalization theory.

ABSTRACT: We present an efficient method for calculating the electronic structure and total energy of strongly correlated electron systems. The method extends the traditional Gutzwiller approximation for one-particle operators to the evaluation of the expectation values of two particle operators in the many-electron Hamiltonian. The method is free of adjustable Coulomb parameters, and has no double counting issues in the calculation of total energy, and has the correct atomic limit. We demonstrate that the method describes well the bonding and dissociation behaviors of the hydrogen and nitrogen clusters, as well as the ammonia composed of hydrogen and nitrogen atoms. We also show that the method can satisfactorily tackle great challenging problems faced by the density functional theory recently discussed in the literature. The computational workload of our method is similar to the Hartree-Fock approach while the results are comparable to high-level quantum chemistry calculations.

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

Project description: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.

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.

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.

Toward Efficient and Unified Treatment of Static and Dynamic Correlations in Generalized Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory.

Project description:Accurate description of the static correlation poses a persistent challenge in electronic structure theory, particularly when it has to be concurrently considered with the dynamic correlation. We develop here a method in the generalized Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) framework, named R-xDH7-SCC15, which achieves an unprecedented accuracy in capturing the static correlation, while maintaining a good description of the dynamic correlation on par with the state-of-the-art DFT and wave function theory methods, all grounded in the same single-reference black-box methodology. Central to R-xDH7-SCC15 is a general-purpose static correlation correction (SCC) model applied to the renormalized XYG3-type doubly hybrid method (R-xDH7). The SCC model development involves a hybrid machine learning strategy that integrates symbolic regression with nonlinear parameter optimization, aiming to achieve a balance between generalization capability, numerical accuracy, and interpretability. Extensive benchmark studies confirm the robustness and broad applicability of R-xDH7-SCC15 across a diverse array of main-group chemical scenarios. Notably, it displays exceptional aptitude in accurately characterizing intricate reaction kinetics and dynamic processes in regions distant from equilibrium, where the influence of static correlation is most profound. Its capability to consistently and efficiently predict the whole energy profiles, activation barriers, and reaction pathways within a user-friendly "black-box" framework represents an important advance in the field of electronic structure theory.

Ion and Site Correlations of Charge Regulating Surfaces: A Simple and Accurate Theory.

Project description:Charge regulation is fundamental in most chemical, geochemical, and biochemical systems. Various mineral surfaces and proteins are well-known to change their charge state as a function of the activity of the hydronium ions, that is, the pH. Besides being modulated by the pH, the charge state is sensitive to salt concentration and composition due to screening and ion correlations. Given the importance of electrostatic interactions, a reliable and straightforward theory of charge regulation would be of utmost importance. This Article presents a theory that accounts for salt screening, site, and ion correlations. Our approach shows an impeccable agreement as compared to Monte Carlo simulations and experiments of 1:1 and 2:1 salts. We furthermore disentangle the relative importance of site-site, ion-ion, and ion-site correlations. Contrary to previous claims, we find that ion-site correlations for the studied cases are subdominant to the two other correlation terms.

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.

Pure non-local machine-learned density functional theory for electron correlation.

Project description:Density-functional theory (DFT) is a rigorous and (in principle) exact framework for the description of the ground state properties of atoms, molecules and solids based on their electron density. While computationally efficient density-functional approximations (DFAs) have become essential tools in computational chemistry, their (semi-)local treatment of electron correlation has a number of well-known pathologies, e.g. related to electron self-interaction. Here, we present a type of machine-learning (ML) based DFA (termed Kernel Density Functional Approximation, KDFA) that is pure, non-local and transferable, and can be efficiently trained with fully quantitative reference methods. The functionals retain the mean-field computational cost of common DFAs and are shown to be applicable to non-covalent, ionic and covalent interactions, as well as across different system sizes. We demonstrate their remarkable possibilities by computing the free energy surface for the protonated water dimer at hitherto unfeasible gold-standard coupled cluster quality on a single commodity workstation.

Efficient and Accurate Description of Diels-Alder Reactions Using Density Functional Theory.

Project description:Modeling chemical reactions using Quantum Chemistry is a widely used predictive strategy capable to complement experiments in order to understand the intrinsic mechanisms guiding the chemicals towards the most favorable reaction products. However, at this purpose, it is mandatory to use reliable and computationally tractable theoretical methods. In this work, we focus on six Diels-Alder reactions of increasing complexity and perform an extensive benchmark of middle- to low-cost computational approaches to predict the characteristic reactions energy barriers. We found that Density Functional Theory, using the ωB97XD, LC-ωPBE, CAM-B3LYP, M11 and MN12SX functionals, with empirical dispersion corrections coupled to an affordable 6-31G basis set, provides quality results for this class of reactions, at a small computational effort. Such efficient and reliable simulation protocol opens perspectives for hybrid QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations of Diels-Alder reactions including explicit solvation.

Electron-vibration coupling induced renormalization in the photoemission spectrum of diamondoids.

Project description:The development of theories and methods devoted to the accurate calculation of the electronic quasi-particle states and levels of molecules, clusters and solids is of prime importance to interpret the experimental data. These quantum systems are often modelled by using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation where the coupling between the electrons and vibrational modes is not fully taken into account, and the electrons are treated as pure quasi-particles. Here, we show that in small diamond cages, called diamondoids, the electron-vibration coupling leads to the breakdown of the electron quasi-particle picture. More importantly, we demonstrate that the strong electron-vibration coupling is essential to properly describe the overall lineshape of the experimental photoemission spectrum. This cannot be obtained by methods within Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Moreover, we deduce a link between the vibronic states found by our many-body perturbation theory approach and the well-known Jahn-Teller effect.

Strong band renormalization and emergent ferromagnetism induced by electron-antiferromagnetic-magnon coupling.

Project description:The interactions between electrons and antiferromagnetic magnons (AFMMs) are important for a large class of correlated materials. For example, they are the most plausible pairing glues in high-temperature superconductors, such as cuprates and iron-based superconductors. However, unlike electron-phonon interactions (EPIs), clear-cut observations regarding how electron-AFMM interactions (EAIs) affect the band structure are still lacking. Consequently, critical information on the EAIs, such as its strength and doping dependence, remains elusive. Here we directly observe that EAIs induce a kink structure in the band dispersion of Ba1-xKxMn2As2, and subsequently unveil several key characteristics of EAIs. We found that the coupling constant of EAIs can be as large as 5.4, and it shows strong doping dependence and temperature dependence, all in stark contrast to the behaviors of EPIs. The colossal renormalization of electron bands by EAIs enhances the density of states at Fermi energy, which is likely driving the emergent ferromagnetic state in Ba1-xKxMn2As2 through a Stoner-like mechanism with mixed itinerant-local character. Our results expand the current knowledge of EAIs, which may facilitate the further understanding of many correlated materials where EAIs play a critical role.
