Abstract
This work describes optimizations of N-electron system wave functions by means of the simulated annealing technique within the doubly occupied configuration interaction framework. Using that technique, we minimize the energy variance of a Hamiltonian, providing determinations of wave functions corresponding to ground or excited states in an identical manner. The procedure that allows us to determine electronic spectra can be performed using treatments of restricted or unrestricted types. The results found in selected systems, described in terms of energy, spin, and wave function, are analyzed, showing the performance of each method. We also compare these results with those arising from more traditional approaches that minimize the energy, in both restricted and unrestricted versions, and with those obtained from the full configuration interaction treatment.

Abstract
This work performs variational determinations of two-electron reduced density matrices corresponding to open-shell N-electron systems within the framework of the doubly occupied configuration interaction treatment, traditionally limited to studies of closed-shell systems. The procedure has allowed us to describe satisfactorily molecular systems in triplet states following two methods. One of them adds hydrogen atoms at an infinite distance of the triplet system studied, constituting a singlet supersystem. Energies and reduced density matrices of the triplet system are obtained by removing the contributions of the added atoms from the singlet supersystem results. The second procedure determines variationally the two-electron reduced density matrices corresponding to the triplet systems by means of adequate couplings of basis-set functions. Both models have been managed by imposing N-representability conditions on the reduced density matrix calculations. Results obtained from these methods for molecular systems in triplet ground states are reported and compared with those provided by benchmark methods.

Abstract
This work implements a variational determination of the elements of two-electron reduced density matrices corresponding to the ground and excited states of N-electron interacting systems based on the dispersion operator technique. The procedure extends the previously reported proposal [Nakata et al., J. Chem. Phys. 125, 244109 (2006)] to two-particle interaction Hamiltonians and N-representability conditions for the two-, three-, and four-particle reduced density matrices in the doubly occupied configuration interaction space. The treatment has been applied to describe electronic spectra using two benchmark exactly solvable pairing models: reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer and Richardson-Gaudin-Kitaev Hamiltonians. The dispersion operator combined with N-representability conditions up to the four-particle reduced density matrices provides excellent results.

Abstract
Discoveries in quantum materials, which are characterized by the strongly quantum-mechanical nature of electrons and atoms, have revealed exotic properties that arise from correlations. It is the promise of quantum materials for quantum information science superimposed with the potential of new computational quantum algorithms to discover new quantum materials that inspires this Review. We anticipate that quantum materials to be discovered and developed in the next years will transform the areas of quantum information processing including communication, storage, and computing. Simultaneously, efforts toward developing new quantum algorithmic approaches for quantum simulation and advanced calculation methods for many-body quantum systems enable major advances toward functional quantum materials and their deployment. The advent of quantum computing brings new possibilities for eliminating the exponential complexity that has stymied simulation of correlated quantum systems on high-performance classical computers. Here, we review new algorithms and computational approaches to predict and understand the behavior of correlated quantum matter. The strongly interdisciplinary nature of the topics covered necessitates a common language to integrate ideas from these fields. We aim to provide this common language while weaving together fields across electronic structure theory, quantum electrodynamics, algorithm design, and open quantum systems. Our Review is timely in presenting the state-of-the-art in the field toward algorithms with nonexponential complexity for correlated quantum matter with applications in grand-challenge problems. Looking to the future, at the intersection of quantum information science and algorithms for correlated quantum matter, we envision seminal advances in predicting many-body quantum states and describing excitonic quantum matter and large-scale entangled states, a better understanding of high-temperature superconductivity, and quantifying open quantum system dynamics.
