Molecules = n + e
• Atomic nuclei– Heavy
• Hydrogen is 2,000 times heavier than e– Atomic charge Z
• Electrons are light and fast– 1 a.u. of speed is 1/137th of speed of light

Born-Oppenheimer approximation
• Fix nuclei at molecular geometry– H = Tn + Vnn + Te + VNA + Vee
• Solve electronic structure/motion first– Hel = Vnn + Te + VNA + Vee
– Hel φ(r|R)= V(R)φ(r|R)• Solve nuclear motion next
– (Tn + V(R)) χ(R)= Eχ(R)• Result wave function Ψ(r,R) = χ(R)φ(r|R)

Nuclei-electron correlation
• Correlation between nuclei and electrons– is very strong– electrons bunch up close to atomic nuclei– BO parameter κ2=1/√M = .02 to .01– Non-adiabatic corrections are small
• Diabatic approximation– Nuclei and electrons as independent particles– is a poor starting point for molecules
![Page 9: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 9
Mean-field theory
• Electrons have spin– Spin up is α, spin down is β
• Electronic wave function– Independent particle model– Pauli Exclusion Principle
• Only one electron in every state→ φ(r|R) antisymmetric
![Page 10: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Hartree-Fock theory
• φ(r|R) = determinant of spin-orbitals• Spin-orbitals are solutions of
– F ψi(r) = εi ψi(r)– εi are the spin-orbital energies– F is the Fock operator– F depends on all occupied ψi(r), i=1,…,N
• Equation is solved iteratively– Self-consistent field (SCF) method

Hartree-Fock 2
• The wave function φ(r|R) – Is invariant under transformations of occupied
orbitals– This follows from properties of determinants
![Page 13: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Restricted Hartree-Fock
• RHF: Uses same spatial function for both spin states– Most commonly used
• Unrestricted HF (UHF)– Different orbitals for different spins
• Restricted Open-shell HF (ROHF)– Same orbitals for core α and β spin-orbitals– Different orbitals for unmatched α spins
![Page 14: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Overview of many-body theory
• Wave function theory• Density functional theory• Other theories• Electronic correlation
![Page 16: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 16
Wave function theory
• Many-body (MB) perturbation theory (PT)– H = H0 + λV– H0 Ψ0n = E0n Ψ0n
– φ(r|R) = Ψ00 + λΨ1 + λ2Ψ2 + …– E1 = < Ψ00 |V| Ψ00 >– With HF as reference Ψ00
• first order vanishes• Hence MBPT(2) is the first order that matters
![Page 17: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 17
Wave function theory 2
• Configuration Interaction (CI)– Build configurations from HF reference– φ(r|R) = c0Ψ0 + ci
aΨia + c ijab Ψij
ab + …
– Diagonalize the big Hamiltonian super matrix– H φ(r|R) = E φ(r|R)– To determine the c’s
• The full CI wave function φ(r|R)– Does not depend on the reference orbitals
![Page 18: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 18
Wave function theory 3
• Multi-reference theory– Multi-configuration self-consistent field
(MCSCF)– Complete active Space (CAS) MCSCF– Multi-reference (MR) CI– MR-PT
![Page 19: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 19
Wave function theory 4
• Coupled Cluster theory– Uses an infinite subsequence of
configurations– Nonlinear equations must be solve iteratively– CCSD(T) considered “best of breed”
• (T) means perturbative triples
• MR-CC has been formulated– Many flavors– None completely satisfactory
![Page 20: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Wave function theory 5
• R12 theory– Adds explicit factors depending on– Inter-electron distance R12=|r1 – r2|– Like exp(-a R12)– To the many-electron wave function
• Approximations must be used to evaluate some many-electron integrals
• Improves quality of results a lot
![Page 21: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 21
Density Functional Theory
• Determine electron density– Include correlation effects– Functional is not exactly known
• Some functionals have empirical content
• Single determinant representation of the density– Kohn-Sham problem is similar to Hartree-
Fock problem– Determines energies εi and orbitals ψi(r)
![Page 22: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 22
Analytical or numerical?
• Wave function and density– Are built with single particle orbitals– These can be analytical
• Expanded in gaussian type orbitals– Or numerical
• Represented on a grid
![Page 23: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 23
Other theories
• Quantum Monte-Carlo (MC) methods– Previous methods use basis functions– Diffusion MC is most successful for quantum
chemistry• Density matrix theory• Cumulant theory• Renormalization group theory• Semi-empirical theories
– Model Hamiltonians
![Page 24: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 24
Density of electrons
• The electronic density ρ(x)=ρ(x,y,z)– Is dominated by mean field behavior– The difference between SCF and CCSD
densities in the next plot cannot be seen!• DFT
– Has correlation implicit, not explicit– Density looks the same as SCF and CCSD
![Page 25: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 27
Electronic correlation
Classified into three types• Essential correlation• Dynamic correlation• Polarization correlation
![Page 28: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 28
Essential correlation
• Describes quantum entanglement effects• Needs multi-reference wave functions for
rapid convergence• CI, PT and CC often need very high order
expansions to describe MR character
![Page 29: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 29
Dynamic correlation
• Describes electrons avoiding each other because of Coulomb repulsion – inside electron-filled medium
• PT and CC describe this correlation very well
• DFT describes this correlation implicitly– Any density functional is consistent with a
matching correlation hole
![Page 30: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 30
Polarization correlation
• Can be viewed as a special case of dynamic correlation
• Describes electrons avoiding each other because of Coulomb repulsion – Through vacuum, as opposed to in bulk– Carries across a long distance– Creates van der Waals force
![Page 31: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 31
Correlation hole
• How to study correlation?– two-point function (statistics)– two-electron density (quantum mechanics)
• One density ρ(x1) shows probability to find an electron at x1. We can show this in 3D.
• Two density Γ(x1,x2) shows probability to find one electron at x1 and another at x2 at some time
• To show this, we pick x1 and plot Γ(x1,x2) as a function of x2 in 3D.
![Page 32: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Correlation hole 2
X1
X2
A two-dimensional cut through a two density or two-point function
One point is the reference point, the other point is the variable
![Page 33: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 33
Correlation hole 3
• Hartree wave function (not for electrons)– Γ(x1,x2) = ρ(x1) ρ(x2) – Pure product → no statistical correlation
• HF wave function (anti-symmetric)– Γ(x1,x2)= ρ(x1) ρ(x2) - γ(x1, x2) γ(x2, x1)– Involves the one-density matrix γ(x, x’)– Not a product → statistical correlation– Not called correlation in quantum mechanics
![Page 34: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 34
Correlation hole 4
• Why is it a hole?– Electrons repel each other with the Coulomb
force– The chance to find electron 2 close to electron
1 is less than to find it some distance away– At very large distances the chance goes down
again because both electrons are bound in the molecule
![Page 35: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Time dependence
• Ab-initio molecular dynamics– Newtonian dynamics of nuclei on any ab-initio
potential energy surface (PES)• including DFT• Up to 1,000 atoms
• Quantum molecular dynamics– Full quantum mechanical wave packet
propagation on PES• Limited to 4 or 5 atoms
![Page 36: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 36
Time Dependence 2
• Electron Nuclear Dynamics– Newtonian dynamics of nuclei– With full quantum dynamics of the electrons
• In a dynamic, complex wave function– single determinant– multi-configuration CAS
• Not a stationary state for nuclear geometry• Electrons have momentum too• 10 to 20 atoms

Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 39
Scientific method 2
• Simulation– There is need for reliable and practical
estimate of accuracy• Theory
– Development of new methods is still needed– E. g. known accuracy estimates are
• Too expensive• Too hard to implement
![Page 40: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 40
Summary: accomplishments
• Good practical methods exist– Electronic density– Molecular geometry– Vibrations, electronic excitations, molecular
dynamics– DFT is most useful
• Correlation hole is implicit – Wave functions give correlation details
• Too expensive

Mission: Impossible?
• Is it all done?• Did the “old guard” finish all interesting
problems?• Is there anything left that is exciting?
YES! A LOT!

Mission: open problem 1
• Correlation hole– Accurate and practical description– Base configurations with explicit correlation
hole
![Page 43: The State of Quantum Chemistry - people.clas.ufl.edu](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051618/6280d539daed40523627fe44/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Aug 3, 2009 Quantum Chemistry 43
Mission: open problem 2
• Protein folding– Locality in space and time– Speed of light limits BO approximation– At the speed of light one side of a protein is 1
fs away from the other side– Mean field is the wrong starting point– Instantaneous force fields miss important
physics and are too “bouncy”
