Electron Pair Methods vs. Independent Particle Approximation: Quasiparticle Transformations
Some basic algebraic features of quasiparticle transformations are reviewed. Special nonlinear quasiparticle transformations are introduced leading to the second quantized counterparts of gerninal-type (correlated) wave functions. Algebraic representations of strong and weak orthogonality are discussed, and these issues are generalized to the case of non-orthogonal basis sets leading to the concepts of strong and weak biorthogonaltty
The Representation of the Chemical Bond in Quantum Chemical Calculations
The mathematical representation of chemical bonds in molecules
is discussed. The molecule is viewed as a system of weakly
interacting chemical bonds. The intrabond problems and the
averaged electrostatic interbond interactions are handled at the .
zeroth order, while the small interbond delocalization and dispersion
effects are taken into account on the basis of the perturbation
theory. A special diagrammatic technique is applied for
obtaining delocalization corrections for strictly localized orbitals.
A general second quantized theory is discussed in which the chemical
bonds are identified with two-electron local bond structures
characterized by composite-particle creation operators showing
Bose-type commutation rules. This approach accounts for intrabond
correlation already at the zeroth order
Conformation Analysis in Light of Localization and Delocalization
The role of electron delocalization in conformational effects,
especially in giving rise to barrier forces is discussed in the bond
orbital framework. Using orthogonal bond orbitals, the effects of
through space and through bond delocalization interactions is demonstrated;numerical examples show the predominant role of
through space delocalization. The total energy obtained by strictly
localized orthogonal bond orbitals is shown to be rather independent
of the relative orientations of the bonds. Second order perturbative
delocalization energy corrections are interpreted as bond-
bond pair potentials within the orthogonal basis. On the contrary,
nonorthogonal bond orbitals lead to an energy expression which
is very sensitive to the bond orientations even if one neglects completelyelectron delocalization. The origin of the barriers is discussed
in terms of nonempirical bond-bond pair potentials

Double Time Window Targeting Technique: Real time DMRG dynamics in the PPP model
We present a generalized adaptive time-dependent density matrix
renormalization group (DMRG) scheme, called the {\it double time window
targeting} (DTWT) technique, which gives accurate results with nominal
computational resources, within reasonable computational time. This procedure
originates from the amalgamation of the features of pace keeping DMRG
algorithm, first proposed by Luo {\it et. al}, [Phys.Rev. Lett. {\bf 91},
049701 (2003)], and the time-step targeting (TST) algorithm by Feiguin and
White [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 72}, 020404 (2005)]. Using the DTWT technique, we
study the phenomena of spin-charge separation in conjugated polymers (materials
for molecular electronics and spintronics), which have long-range
electron-electron interactions and belong to the class of strongly correlated
low-dimensional many-body systems. The issue of real time dynamics within the
Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) model which includes long-range electron correlations
has not been addressed in the literature so far. The present study on PPP
chains has revealed that, (i) long-range electron correlations enable both the
charge and spin degree of freedom of the electron, to propagate faster in the
PPP model compared to Hubbard model, (ii) for standard parameters of the PPP
model as applied to conjugated polymers, the charge velocity is almost twice
that of the spin velocity and, (iii) the simplistic interpretation of
long-range correlations by merely renormalizing the {\it U} value of the
Hubbard model fails to explain the dynamics of doped holes/electrons in the PPP
model.Comment: Final (published) version; 39 pages, 13 figures, 1 table; 2 new

Comparison of low-order multireference many-body perturbation theories
Tests have been made to benchmark and assess the relative accuracies of low-order multireference perturbation theories as compared to coupled cluster (CC) and full configuration interaction (FCI) methods. Test calculations include the ground and some excited states of the Be, H2, BeH2, CH2, and SiH2 systems. Comparisons with FCI and CC calculations show that in most cases the effective valence shell Hamiltonian (Hv) method is more accurate than other low-order multireference perturbation theories, although none of the perturbative methods is as accurate as the CC approximations. We also briefly discuss some of the basic differences among the multireference perturbation theories considered in this work
