Tensor-Structured Coupled Cluster Theory
We derive and implement a new way of solving coupled cluster equations with
lower computational scaling. Our method is based on decomposition of both
amplitudes and two electron integrals, using a combination of tensor
hypercontraction and canonical polyadic decomposition. While the original
theory scales as with respect to the number of basis functions, we
demonstrate numerically that we achieve sub-millihartree difference from the
original theory with scaling. This is accomplished by solving directly
for the factors that decompose the cluster operator. The proposed scheme is
quite general and can be easily extended to other many-body methods
Analytic energy gradient for the projected Hartree–Fock method
We derive and implement the analytic energy gradient for the symmetry Projected Hartree–Fock (PHF) method avoiding the solution of coupled-perturbed HF-like equations, as in the regular unprojected method. Our formalism therefore has mean-field computational scaling and cost, despite the elaborate multi-reference character of the PHF wave function. As benchmark examples, we here apply our gradient implementation to the ortho-, meta-, and para-benzyne biradicals, and discuss their equilibrium geometries and vibrational frequencies
