Abstract
Post-Kohn-Sham methods are used to evaluate the ground-state correlation energy and the orbital self-energy of systems consisting of multiple flavors of different fermions. Starting from multicomponent density functional theory, suitable ways to arrive at the corresponding multicomponent random-phase approximation and the multicomponent Green's functionG W ${GW}$ approximation, including relativistic effects, are outlined. Given the importance of both of this methods in the development of modern Kohn-Sham density functional approximations, this work will provide a foundation to design advanced multicomponent density functional approximations. Additionally, theG W ${GW}$ quasiparticle energies are needed to study light-matter interactions with the Bethe-Salpeter equation.

[PMID: 38483190 PMCID: PMC10983011 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpca.3c07647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
In this work, three versions of self-consistent field/Kohn-Sham density functional theory (SCF/KS-DFT) orbital optimization are described and benchmarked. The methods are a modified version of the geometry version of the direct inversion in the iterative subspace approach (which we call r-GDIIS), the modified restricted step rational function optimization method (RS-RFO), and the novel subspace gradient-enhanced Kriging method combined with restricted variance optimization (S-GEK/RVO). The modifications introduced are aimed at improving the robustness and computational scaling of the procedures. In particular, the subspace approach in S-GEK/RVO allows the application to SCF/KS-DFT optimization of a machine learning technique that has proven to be successful in geometry optimizations. The performance of the three methods is benchmarked for a large number of small- to medium-sized organic molecules, at equilibrium structures and close to a transition state, and a second set of molecules containing closed- and open-shell transition metals. The results indicate the importance of the resetting technique in boosting the performance of the r-GDIIS procedure. Moreover, it is demonstrated that already at the inception of the subspace version of GEK to optimize SCF wave functions, it displays superior and robust convergence properties as compared to those of the standard state-of-the-art SCF/KS-DFT optimization methods.

Abstract
Nuclear quantum effects such as zero-point energy and hydrogen tunneling play a central role in many biological and chemical processes. The nuclear-electronic orbital (NEO) approach captures these effects by treating selected nuclei quantum mechanically on the same footing as electrons. On classical computers, the resources required for an exact solution of NEO-based models grow exponentially with system size. By contrast, quantum computers offer a means of solving this problem with polynomial scaling. However, due to the limitations of current quantum devices, NEO simulations are confined to the smallest systems described by minimal basis sets, whereas realistic simulations beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation require more sophisticated basis sets. For this purpose, we herein extend a hardware-efficient ADAPT-VQE method to the NEO framework in the frozen natural orbital (FNO) basis. We demonstrate on H2 and D2 molecules that the NEO-FNO-ADAPT-VQE method reduces the CNOT count by several orders of magnitude relative to the NEO unitary coupled cluster method with singles and doubles while maintaining the desired accuracy. This extreme reduction in the CNOT gate count is sufficient to permit practical computations employing the NEO method─an important step toward accurate simulations involving nonclassical nuclei and non-Born-Oppenheimer effects on near-term quantum devices. We further show that the method can capture isotope effects, and we demonstrate that inclusion of correlation energy systematically improves the prediction of difference in the zero-point energy (ΔZPE) between isotopes.

Abstract
The simulation of nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) is crucial for an accurate description of systems and processes involving light nuclei, such as hydrogen atoms. Within the last years, the importance of those effects has been highlighted for a vast range of systems with tremendous implications in chemistry, biology, physics, and materials sciences. However, while electronic structure theory methods have become routine tools for quantum chemical investigations, there is still a lack of approaches to address NQEs that are computationally accessible and straightforward to use. To address this, we present the first combination of the nuclear-electronic orbital Hartree-Fock approach with both local and density fitting approximations (LDF-NEO-HF). This results in a low-order scaling approach that enables the inclusion of NQEs for large systems within a fraction of a day and for small to medium size systems in minutes. Moreover, we demonstrate the qualitative accuracy and robustness of our approach to retrieve NQEs for three real-use cases motivated by chemical, biological, and materials science applications.

Abstract
We present a symmetry projection technique for enforcing rotational and parity symmetries in nuclear-electronic Hartree-Fock wave functions, which treat electrons and nuclei on equal footing. The molecular Hamiltonian obeys rotational and parity inversion symmetries, which are, however, broken by expanding in Gaussian basis sets that are fixed in space. We generate a trial wave function with the correct symmetry properties by projecting the wave function onto representations of the three-dimensional rotation group, i.e., the special orthogonal group in three dimensions SO(3). As a consequence, the wave function becomes an eigenfunction of the angular momentum operator which (i) eliminates the contamination of the ground-state wave function by highly excited rotational states arising from the broken rotational symmetry and (ii) enables the targeting of specific rotational states of the molecule. We demonstrate the efficiency of the symmetry projection technique by calculating the energies of the low-lying rotational states of the H2 and H3+ molecules.
