The accuracy of charge-transfer excitation energies, solvatochromic shifts and other environmental effects calculated via various density embedding techniques depend critically on the approximations employed for the non-additive non-interacting kinetic energy functional, $T_{scriptscriptstylerm s}^{scriptscriptstylerm nad}[n]$. Approximating this functional remains an important challenge in electronic structure theory. To assist in the development and testing of approximations for $T_{scriptscriptstylerm s}^{scriptscriptstylerm nad}[n]$, we derive two virial relations for fragments in molecules. These establish separate connections between the non-additive kinetic energies of the non-interacting and interacting systems of electrons, and quantities such as the electron-nuclear attraction forces, the partition (or embedding) energy and potential, and the Kohn-Sham potentials of the system and its parts. We numerically verify both relations on diatomic molecules.

The idea of using fragment embedding to circumvent the high computational scaling of accurate electronic structure methods while retaining high accuracy has been a long-standing goal for quantum chemists. Traditional fragment embedding methods mainly
focus on systems composed of weakly correlated parts and are insufficient when division across chemical bonds is unavoidable. Recently, density matrix embedding theory (DMET) and other methods based on the Schmidt decomposition have emerged as a fresh approach to this problem. Despite their success on model systems, these methods can prove difficult for realistic systems because they rely on either a rigid, non-overlapping partition of the system or a specification of some special sites (i.e. `edge and `center sites), neither of which is well-defined in general for real molecules. In this work, we present a new Schmidt decomposition-based embedding scheme called Incremental Embedding that allows the combination of arbitrary overlapping fragments without the knowledge of edge sites. This method forms a convergent hierarchy in the sense that higher accuracy can be obtained by using fragments involving more sites. The computational scaling for the first few levels is lower than that of most correlated wave function methods. We present results for several small molecules in atom-centered Gaussian basis sets and demonstrate that Incremental Embedding converges quickly with fragment size and recovers most static correlation in small basis sets even when truncated at the second lowest level.
Recently a novel approach to find approximate exchange-correlation functionals in density-functional theory (DFT) was presented (U. Mordovina et. al., JCTC 15, 5209 (2019)), which relies on approximations to the interacting wave function using densit
y-matrix embedding theory (DMET). This approximate interacting wave function is constructed by using a projection determined by an iterative procedure that makes parts of the reduced density matrix of an auxiliary system the same as the approximate interacting density matrix. If only the diagonal of both systems are connected this leads to an approximation of the interacting-to-non-interacting mapping of the Kohn-Sham approach to DFT. Yet other choices are possible and allow to connect DMET with other DFTs such as kinetic-energy DFT or reduced density-matrix functional theory. In this work we give a detailed review of the basics of the DMET procedure from a DFT perspective and show how both approaches can be used to supplement each other. We do so explicitly for the case of a one-dimensional lattice system, as this is the simplest setting where we can apply DMET and the one that was originally presented. Among others we highlight how the mappings of DFTs can be used to identify uniquely defined auxiliary systems and auxiliary projections in DMET and how to construct approximations for different DFTs using DMET inspired projections. Such alternative approximation strategies become especially important for DFTs that are based on non-linearly coupled observables such as kinetic-energy DFT, where the Kohn-Sham fields are no longer simply obtainable by functional differentiation of an energy expression, or for reduced density-matrix functional theories, where a straightforward Kohn-Sham construction is not feasible.
We present the first implementation of a density matrix renormalization group algorithm embedded in an environment described by density functional theory. The frozen density embedding scheme is used with a freeze-and-thaw strategy for a self-consiste
nt polarization of the orbital-optimized wavefunction and the environmental densities with respect to each other.
With the development of low order scaling methods for performing Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory, it is now possible to perform fully quantum mechanical calculations of systems containing tens of thousands of atoms. However, with an increase in t
he size of system treated comes an increase in complexity, making it challenging to analyze such large systems and determine the cause of emergent properties. To address this issue, in this paper we present a systematic complexity reduction methodology which can break down large systems into their constituent fragments, and quantify inter-fragment interactions. The methodology proposed here requires no a priori information or user interaction, allowing a single workflow to be automatically applied to any system of interest. We apply this approach to a variety of different systems, and show how it allows for the derivation of new system descriptors, the design of QM/MM partitioning schemes, and the novel application of graph metrics to molecules and materials.
Although many equations of state of hard-disk fluids have been proposed, none is capable of reproducing the currently calculated or estimated values of the first eighteen virial coefficients at the same time as giving very good accuracy when compared
with computer simulation values for the compressibility factor over the whole fluid range. A new virial-based expression is here proposed which achieves these aims. For that, we use the fact that the currently accepted estimated values for the highest virial coefficients behave linearly with their order, and also that virial coefficients must have a limiting behaviour that permits the closest packing limit in the compressibility factor to be also adequately reproduced.
