Abstract
Today, coupled-cluster theory offers the most accurate results among the practical ab initio electronic-structure theories applicable to moderate-sized molecules. Though it was originally proposed for problems in physics, it has seen its greatest development in chemistry, enabling an extensive range of applications to molecular structure, excited states, properties, and all kinds of spectroscopy. In this review, the essential aspects of the theory are explained and illustrated with informative numerical results.

Exciting Determinants in Quantum Monte Carlo: Loading the Dice with Fast, Low-Memory Weights

TL;DR: A spawn-sampling algorithm that has low memory requirements (quadratic in basis set size) compared to the heat bath algorithm and only scales either independently of system size or linearly in the number of electrons (FCIQMC) that works especially well on localized orbitals.

Many interacting fermions in a one-dimensional harmonic trap: a quantum-chemical treatment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed ab initio methods of quantum chemistry to investigate spin-1/2 fermions interacting via a two-body contact potential in a one-dimensional harmonic trap.

A tractable and accurate electronic structure method for static correlations: The perfect hextuples model

TL;DR: The perfect hextuples (PH) model is introduced, which is an approximation to the VOO-CC method truncated at heXTuples containing all correlations between three electron pairs, and can faithfully model the static correlations of molecules with up to triple bonds in a size-consistent fashion.

Symmetry exploitation in closed-shell coupled-cluster theory with spin-orbit coupling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit spatial symmetry in calculations of ground state energy and analytic first derivatives of closed-shell molecules based on their previously developed coupled-cluster (CC) approach with spin-orbit coupling.

A full coupled‐cluster singles and doubles model: The inclusion of disconnected triples

TL;DR: The coupled cluster singles and doubles model (CCSD) as discussed by the authors is derived algebraically, presenting the full set of equations for a general reference function explicitly in spin-orbital form, and the computational implementation of the CCSD model, which involves cubic and quartic terms, is discussed and results are compared with full CI calculations for H2O and BeH2.
