The reduced density matrix method for electronic structure calculations and the role of three-index representability conditions

TL;DR: The variational approach for electronic structure based on the two-body reduced density matrix is studied, incorporating two representability conditions beyond the previously used P, Q, and G conditions, and it is found that the use of the T1 and T2 conditions gives a significant improvement over just the P,Q, andG conditions.

Large-Scale Variational Two-Electron Reduced-Density-Matrix-Driven Complete Active Space Self-Consistent Field Methods

TL;DR: A large-scale implementation of the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method using the variational two-electron reduced-density-matrix approach is presented and the quality of the results is still far superior to those obtained from standard single-reference approaches.

Large-scale semidefinite programs in electronic structure calculation

TL;DR: The RDM method has several advantages including robustness and provision of high accuracy compared to traditional electronic structure methods, although its computational time and memory consumption are still extremely large.

Reduction of the N‐Particle Variational Problem

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational method is presented which is applicable to N-particle boson or fermion systems with two-body interactions, and it is proven that if Γ(1, 2 | 1′, 2′) and γ(1| 1′) are the twoparticle and oneparticle density matrices of an N−particle system [normalized by tr Γ = N(N − 1) and trγ = N] then the associated operator: G( 1, 2|| 1′,2

Linear Inequalities for Density Matrices

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of linear inequalities for the reduced two-body density matrix is presented, and the general problem of finding all such inequalities is discussed, and it is shown that all of the linear inequalities found so far for ensemble representability may be written as a single family of inequalities.

A new particle-hole approach to collective states

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the first excited state lies entirely within the particle-hole space generated from the correlated ground state for angularmomentum projection and generator coordinate method in Gaussian overlap approximation.
