We apply a version of the recently developed approach combining the correlation potential, linearized singles-doubles coupled-cluster, and the configuration interaction methods to the spectra of the heavy alkaline earths barium, radium, and element 120. Quantum electrodynamics radiative corrections are included. We have found unprecedented agreement between ab initio theory and experiment for the spectra of barium and radium, and we make accurate predictions for missing and unreliable data for all three atoms.

The concept of machine learning configuration interaction (MLCI) [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2018, 14, 5739], where an artificial neural network (ANN) learns on the fly to select important configurations, is further developed so that accurate ab initio potential energy curves can be efficiently calculated. This development includes employing the artificial neural network also as a hash function for the efficient deletion of duplicates on the fly so that the singles and doubles space does not need to be stored and this barrier to scalability is removed. In addition configuration state functions are introduced into the approach so that pure spin states are guaranteed, and the transferability of data between geometries is exploited. This improved approach is demonstrated on potential energy curves for the nitrogen molecule, water, and carbon monoxide. The results are compared with full configuration interaction values, when available, and different transfer protocols are investigated. It is shown that, for all of the considered systems, accurate potential energy curves can now be efficiently computed with MLCI. For the potential curves of N$_{2}$ and CO, MLCI can achieve lower errors than stochastically selecting configurations while also using substantially less processor hours.
Using the ground-state energy of 16-O obtained with the realistic V_UCOM interaction as a test case, we present a comprehensive comparison of different configuration interaction (CI) and coupled-cluster (CC) methods, analyzing the intrinsic advantages and limitations of each of the approaches. In particular, we use the importance-truncated (IT) CI and no-core shell model (NCSM) schemes with up to 4-particle-4-hole (4p4h) excitations as well as the size extensive CC methods with a complete treatment of one- and two-body clusters (CCSD) and a non-iterative treatment of connected three-body clusters via the completely renormalized correction to the CCSD energy defining the CR-CC(2,3) approach. We discuss the impact of the center-of-mass contaminations, the choice of the single-particle basis, and size-extensivity on the resulting energies. When the IT-CI and IT-NCSM methods include the 4p4h excitations and when the CC calculations include the 1p1h, 2p2h, and 3p3h clusters, as in the CR-CC(2,3) approach, we observe an excellent agreement among the different methodologies. This shows that despite their individual limitations, the IT-CI, IT-NCSM, and CC methods can provide precise and consistent ab initio nuclear structure predictions. Furthermore, the IT-CI, IT-NCSM, and CC ground-state energy values obtained with 16-O are in good agreement with the experimental value, proving that the V_UCOM two-body interaction allows for a realistic description of binding energies for heavier nuclei and that all of the methods used in this study account for most of the relevant particle correlation effects.
The combination of configuration interaction and many-body perturbation theory methods (CI+MBPT) is extended to non-perturbatively include configurations with electron holes below the designated Fermi level, allowing us to treat systems where holes play an important role. For example, the method can treat valence-hole systems like Ir$^{17+}$, particle-hole excitations in noble gases, and difficult transitions such as the $6s rightarrow 5d^{-1}6s^2$ optical clock transition in Hg$^+$. We take the latter system as our test case for the method and obtain very good accuracy (~1%) for the low-lying transition energies. The $alpha$-dependence of these transitions is calculated and used to reinterpret the existing best laboratory limits on the time-dependence of the fine-structure constant.
In this study, we have calculated single-electron energy spectra via the Greens function based on the coupled-cluster singles and doubles (GFCCSD) method for isolated atoms from H to Ne. In order to check the accuracy of the GFCCSD method, we compared the results with the exact ones calculated from the full-configuration interaction (FCI). Consequently, we have found that the GFCCSD method reproduces not only the correct quasiparticle peaks but also satellite ones by comparing the exact spectra with the 6-31G basis set. It is also found that open-shell atoms such as C atom exhibit Mott gaps at the Fermi level, which the exact density-functional theory (DFT) fails to describe. The GFCCSD successfully reproduces the Mott HOMO-LUMO (highest-occupied molecular orbital and lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital) gaps even quantitatively. We also discussed the origin of satellite peaks as shake-up effects by checking the components of wave function of the satellite peaks. The GFCCSD is a novel cutting edge to investigate the electronic states in detail.
We demonstrate that coupled-cluster singles-and-doubles Greens function (GFCCSD) method is a powerful and prominent tool drawing the electronic band structures and the total energies, which many theoretical techniques struggle to reproduce. We have calculated single-electron energy spectra via GFCCSD method for various kinds of systems, ranging from ionic to covalent and van der Waals, for the first time: one-dimensional LiH chain, one-dimensional C chain, and one-dimensional Be chain. We have found that the band gap becomes narrower than in HF due to the correlation effect. We also show that the band structures obtained from GFCCSD method include both quasiparticle and satellite peaks successfully. Besides, taking one-dimensional LiH as an example, we discuss the validity of restricting the active space to suppress the computational cost of GFCCSD method while maintaining the accuracy. We show that the calculated results without bands that do not contribute to the chemical bonds are in good agreement with full-band calculations. With GFCCSD method, we can calculate the total energy and band structures with high precision.
