Assessment of low-scaling approximations to the equation of motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles equations

Methods for fast and reliable computation of electronic excitation energies are in short supply, and little is known about their systematic performance. This work reports a comparison of several low-scaling approximations to the equation of motion coupled cluster singles and doubles (EOM–CCSD) and linear-response coupled cluster singles and doubles (LR–CCSD) equations with other single reference methods for computing the vertical electronic transition energies of 11 small organic molecules. The methods, including second order equation-of-motion many-body perturbation theory (EOM–MBPT2) and its partitioned variant, are compared to several valence and Rydberg singlet states. We find that the EOM–MBPT2 method was rarely more than a tenth of an eV from EOM–CCSD calculated energies, yet demonstrates a performance gain of nearly 30%. The partitioned equation-of-motion approach, P–EOM–MBPT2, which is an order of magnitude faster than EOM–CCSD, outperforms the CIS(D) and CC2 in the description of Rydberg states. CC2, on the other hand, excels at describing valence states where P–EOM–MBPT2 does not. The difference between the CC2 and P–EOM–MBPT2 can ultimately be traced back to how each method approximates EOM–CCSD and LR–CCSD. The results suggest that CC2 and P–EOM–MBPT2 are complementary: CC2 is best suited for the description of valence states while P–EOM–MBPT2 proves to be a superior O(N{sup 5}) method for the description of Rydberg states.

Equation of motion coupled cluster methods for electron attachment and ionization potential in polyacenes

Polyacenes have attracted considerable attention due to their use in organic based optoelectronic materials. Polyacenes are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons composed of fused benzene rings. Key to understanding and design of new functional materials is an understanding of their excited state properties starting with their electron affinity (EA) and ionization potential (IP). We have developed a highly accurate and com- putationally e*fficient EA/IP equation of motion coupled cluster singles and doubles (EA/IP-EOMCCSD) method that is capable of treating large systems and large basis set. In this study we employ the EA/IP-EOMCCSD method to calculate the electron affinity and ionization potential of naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene, pentacene, hex- acene and heptacene. We have compared our results with other previous theoretical studies and experimental data. Our EA/IP results are in very good agreement with experiment and when compared with the other theoretical investigations our results represent the most accurate calculations as compared to experiment.

Equation of motion coupled cluster methods for electron attachment and ionization potential in fullerenes C{sub 60} and C{sub 70}

In both molecular and periodic solid-state systems there is a need for the accurate determination of the ionization potential and the electron affinity for systems ranging from light harvesting polymers and photocatalytic compounds to semiconductors. The development of a Green's function approach based on the coupled cluster (CC) formalism would be a valuable tool for addressing many properties involving many-body interactions along with their associated correlation functions. As a first step in this direction, we have developed an accurate and parallel efficient approach based on the equation of motion-CC technique. To demonstrate the high degree of accuracy and numerical efficiency of our approach we calculate the ionization potential and electron affinity for C{sub 60} and C{sub 70}. Accurate predictions for these molecules are well beyond traditional molecular scale studies. We compare our results with experiments and both quantum Monte Carlo and GW calculations.

Spin-orbit couplings within the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster framework: Theory, implementation, and benchmark calculations

We present a formalism and an implementation for calculating spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) within the EOM-CCSD (equation-of-motion coupled-cluster with single and double substitutions) approach. The following variants of EOM-CCSD are considered: EOM-CCSD for excitation energies (EOM-EE-CCSD), EOM-CCSD with spin-flip (EOM-SF-CCSD), EOM-CCSD for ionization potentials (EOM-IP-CCSD) and electron attachment (EOM-EA-CCSD). We employ a perturbative approach in which the SOCs are computed as matrix elements of the respective part of the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian using zeroth-order non-relativistic wave functions. We follow the expectation-value approach rather than the response-theory formulation for property calculations. Both the full two-electron treatment and the mean-field approximation (a partial account of the two-electron contributions) have been implemented and benchmarked using several small molecules containing elements up to the fourth row of the periodic table. The benchmark results show the excellent performance of the perturbative treatment and the mean-field approximation. When used with an appropriate basis set, the errors with respect to experiment are below 5% for the considered examples. The findings regarding basis-set requirements are in agreement with previous studies. The impact of different correlation treatment in zeroth-order wave functions is analyzed. Overall, the EOM-IP-CCSD, EOM-EA-CCSD, EOM-EE-CCSD, and EOM-SF-CCSD wave functions yield SOCs that agree well with each other (and with the experimental values when available). Using an EOM-CCSD approach that provides a more balanced description of the target states yields more accurate results.

Exciton dissociation in the presence of phonons: A reduced hierarchy equations of motion approach

Combining the reduced hierarchy equations of motion (HEOM) approach with the Wigner-function formalism, we investigate nonperturbatively exciton dissociation under the influence of a phonon bath in an organic heterojunction. The exciton is modeled by an electron-hole pair with the electron moving in the presence of both an external electric field and the Coulomb attraction potential from the hole. In the absence of a phonon bath, calculated HEOM results reproduce those from the Onsager-Braun theory in weak electric fields. In the presence of a phonon bath, substantial deviations from the Onsager-Braun theory are found, signaling phonon-induced quantum effects. Furthermore, time evolution of the spatial current distribution is examined, and an initial spike followed by a polarity change of the transient photocurrent have been recovered.

Approximating electronically excited states with equation-of-motion linear coupled-cluster theory

A new perturbative approach to canonical equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory is presented using coupled-cluster perturbation theory. A second-order Møller-Plesset partitioning of the Hamiltonian is used to obtain the well known equation-of-motion many-body perturbation theory equations and two new equation-of-motion methods based on the linear coupled-cluster doubles and linear coupled-cluster singles and doubles wavefunctions. These new methods are benchmarked against very accurate theoretical and experimental spectra from 25 small organic molecules. It is found that the proposed methods have excellent agreement with canonical equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles state for state orderings and relative excited state energies as well as acceptable quantitative agreement for absolute excitation energies compared with the best estimate theory and experimental spectra.

Magnon–magnon interactions in O(3) ferromagnets and equations of motion for spin operators

The method of equations of motion for spin operators in the case of O(3) Heisenberg ferromagnet is systematically analyzed starting from the effective Lagrangian. It is shown that the random phase approximation and the Callen approximation can be understood in terms of perturbation theory for type B magnons. Also, the second order approximation of Kondo and Yamaji for one dimensional ferromagnet is reduced to the perturbation theory for type A magnons. An emphasis is put on the physical picture, i.e. on magnon–magnon interactions and symmetries of the Heisenberg model. Calculations demonstrate that all three approximations differ in manner in which the magnon–magnon interactions arising from the Wess–Zumino term are treated, from where specific features and limitations of each of them can be deduced.

Complex equations of motion for a body under gravitational influence by using a nine-parameter space–time bundle with the structural group SO(3,C)

We give equations of motion of a body under gravitational influence using a model which employs nonlinear connection adapted to 3+3+3-dimensional bundle. It is analogous to the corresponding 3+1 model with nonlinear connection in Minkowski spacetime. The equations of motion are simple complex equations whose real part gives the equations of motion previously obtained in the 3+1 model with nonlinear connection in Minkowski spacetime. They lead to the same predictions as the General Relativity, which are experimentally verified. The imaginary part of the equations of motion gives the total precession of a gyroscope (geodetic precession and frame dragging). The complex equations of motion can be used also in electrodynamics. In this case, the imaginary part corresponds to the Lorentz force, while the real part leads to the angular velocity of an electron in a magnetic field. It is obtained Ω-vector =(e/(mc)) H-vector (if E-vector =0), which fits well with the observations.

Equation-of-motion coupled cluster perturbation theory revisited

The equation-of-motion coupled cluster (EOM-CC) framework has been used for deriving a novel series of perturbative corrections to the coupled cluster singles and doubles energy that formally converges towards the full configuration interaction energy limit. The series is based on a Møller-Plesset partitioning of the Hamiltonian and thus size extensive at any order in the perturbation, thereby remedying the major deficiency inherent to previous perturbation series based on the EOM-CC ansatz.

Current noise spectra and mechanisms with dissipaton equation of motion theory

Based on the Yan’s dissipaton equation of motion (DEOM) theory [J. Chem. Phys. 140, 054105 (2014)], we investigate the characteristic features of current noise spectrum in several typical transport regimes of a single-impurity Anderson model. Many well-known features such as Kondo features are correctly recovered by our DEOM calculations. More importantly, it is revealed that the intrinsic electron cotunneling process is responsible for the characteristic signature of current noise at anti-Stokes frequency. We also identify completely destructive interference in the noise spectra of noninteracting systems with two degenerate transport channels.

Equation of Motion for a Grain Boundary

Grain boundary (GB) migration controls many forms of microstructural evolution in polycrystalline materials. Recent theory, simulations, and experiments demonstrate that GB migration is controlled by the motion of discrete line defects or disconnections. We present a continuum equation of motion for grain boundary derived from the underlying discrete disconnection mechanism. We also present an equation of motion for the junctions where multiple grain boundaries meet—as is always the case in a polycrystal. The resulting equation of motion naturally exhibits junction drag—a widely observed phenomena in junction dynamics in solids and liquids.

Similarity-transformed equation-of-motion vibrational coupled-cluster theory

A similarity-transformed equation-of-motion vibrational coupled-cluster (STEOM-XVCC) method is introduced as a one-mode theory with an effective vibrational Hamiltonian, which is similarity transformed twice so that its lower-order operators are dressed with higher-order anharmonic effects. The first transformation uses an exponential excitation operator, defining the equation-of-motion vibrational coupled-cluster (EOM-XVCC) method, and the second uses an exponential excitation-deexcitation operator. From diagonalization of this doubly similarity-transformed Hamiltonian in the small one-mode excitation space, the method simultaneously computes accurate anharmonic vibrational frequencies of all fundamentals, which have unique significance in vibrational analyses. We establish a diagrammatic method of deriving the working equations of STEOM-XVCC and prove their connectedness and thus size-consistency as well as the exact equality of its frequencies with the corresponding roots of EOM-XVCC. We furthermore elucidate the similarities and differences between electronic and vibrational STEOM methods and between STEOM-XVCC and vibrational many-body Green’s function theory based on the Dyson equation, which is also an anharmonic one-mode theory. The latter comparison inspires three approximate STEOM-XVCC methods utilizing the common approximations made in the Dyson equation: the diagonal approximation, a perturbative expansion of the Dyson self-energy, and the frequency-independent approximation. The STEOM-XVCC method including up to the simultaneous four-mode excitation operator in a quartic force field and its three approximate variants are formulated and implemented in computer codes with the aid of computer algebra, and they are applied to small test cases with varied degrees of anharmonicit

A Geometric Derivation of the Governing Equations of Motion of Nonholonomic Dynamic Systems

Here, in this paper, we present a Riemannian geometric derivation of the governing equations of motion of nonholonomic dynamic systems. A geometric form of the work-energy principle is first derived. The geometric form can be realized in appropriate generalized quantities, and the independent equations of motion can be obtained if the subspace of generalized speeds allowable by nonholonomic constraints can be determined. We provide a geometric perspective of the governing equations of motion and demonstrate its effectiveness in studying dynamic systems subjected to nonholonomic constraints.

Removing instabilities in the hierarchical equations of motion: Exact and approximate projection approaches

The hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) provide a numerically exact approach for computing the reduced dynamics of a quantum system linearly coupled to a bath. We have found that HEOM contains temperature-dependent instabilities that grow exponentially in time. In the case of continuous-bath models, these instabilities may be delayed to later times by increasing the hierarchy dimension; however, for systems coupled to discrete, nondispersive modes, increasing the hierarchy dimension does little to alleviate the problem. We show that these instabilities can also be removed completely at a potentially much lower cost via projection onto the space of stable eigenmodes; furthermore, we find that for discrete-bath models at zero temperature, the remaining projected dynamics computed with few hierarchy levels are essentially identical to the exact dynamics that otherwise might require an intractably large number of hierarchy levels for convergence. Recognizing that computation of the eigenmodes might be prohibitive, e.g., for large or strongly coupled models, we present a Prony filtration algorithm that may be useful as an alternative for accomplishing this projection when diagonalization is too costly. We present results demonstrating the efficacy of HEOM projected via diagonalization and Prony filtration. Finally, we discuss issues associated with the non-normality of HEOM.

Rank reduced coupled cluster theory. II. Equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles

Equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD) is a reliable and popular approach to the determination of electronic excitation energies. Recently, we have developed a rank-reduced CCSD (RR-CCSD) method that allows the ground-state coupled-cluster energy to be determined with low-rank cluster amplitudes. Here, we extend this approach to excited-state energies through a RR-EOM-CCSD method. We start from the EOM-CCSD energy functional and insert low-rank approximations to the doubles amplitudes. The result is an approximate EOM-CCSD method with only a quadratic number (in the molecular size) of free parameters in the wavefunction. Importantly, our formulation of RR-EOM-CCSD preserves the size intensivity of the excitation energy and size extensivity of the total energy. Numerical tests of the method suggest that accuracy on the order of 0.05–0.01 eV in the excitation energy is possible with 1% or less of the original number of wavefunction coefficients; accuracy of better than 0.01 eV can be achieved with about 4% or less of the free parameters. The amount of compression at a given accuracy level is expected to increase with the size of the molecule. The RR-EOM-CCSD method is a new path toward the efficient determination of accurate electronic excitation energies.

Multiband effects in equations of motion of observables beyond the semiclassical approach

The equations of motion (EOM)for the position and gauge invariant crystal momentum are considered for multiband wave packets of Bloch electrons. For a localized packet in a subset of bands well-separated from the rest of the band structure of the crystal, one can construct an effective electromagnetic Hamiltonian with respect to the center of the packet. We show that the EOM can be obtained via a projected operator procedure, which is derived from the adiabatic approximation within perturbation theory. These relations explicitly contain information from each band captured in the expansion coefficients and energy band structure of the Bloch states as well as non-Abelian features originating from interband Berry phase properties. This general and transparent Hamiltonian-based approach is applied to a wave packet spread over a single band, a set of degenerate bands, and two linear crossing bands. The generalized EOM hold promise for novel effects in transport currents and Hall effect phenomena.

Dynamic field theory and equations of motion in cosmology

We discuss a field-theoretical approach based on general-relativistic variational principle to derive the covariant field equations and hydrodynamic equations of motion of baryonic matter governed by cosmological perturbations of dark matter and dark energy. The action depends on the gravitational and matter Lagrangian. The gravitational Lagrangian depends on the metric tensor and its first and second derivatives. The matter Lagrangian includes dark matter, dark energy and the ordinary baryonic matter which plays the role of a bare perturbation. The total Lagrangian is expanded in an asymptotic Taylor series around the background cosmological manifold defined as a solution of Einstein’s equations in the form of the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric tensor. The small parameter of the decomposition is the magnitude of the metric tensor perturbation. Each term of the series expansion is gauge-invariant and all of them together form a basis for the successive post-Friedmannian approximations around the background metric. The approximation scheme is covariant and the asymptotic nature of the Lagrangian decomposition does not require the post-Friedmannian perturbations to be small though computationally it works the most effectively when the perturbed metric is close enough to the background FLRW metric. The temporal evolution of the background metric is governed by dark matter and dark energy and we associate the large scale inhomogeneities in these two components as those generated by the primordial cosmological perturbations with an effective matter density contrast δρ/ρ≤1. The small scale inhomogeneities are generated by the condensations of baryonic matter considered as the bare perturbations of the background manifold that admits δρ/ρ≫1. Mathematically, the large scale perturbations are given by the homogeneous solution of the linearized field equations while the small scale perturbations are described by a particular solution of these equations with the bare stress–energy tensor of the baryonic matter. We explicitly work out the covariant field equations of the successive post-Friedmannian approximations of Einstein’s equations in cosmology and derive equations of motion of large and small scale inhomogeneities of dark matter and dark energy. We apply these equations to derive the post-Friedmannian equations of motion of baryonic matter comprising stars, galaxies and their clusters.
