We present an implementation of the self-energy embedding theory (SEET) for periodic systems and provide a fully self-consistent embedding solution for a simple realistic periodic problem - 1D crystalline hydrogen - that displays many of the features present in complex real materials. For this system, we observe a remarkable agreement between our finite temperature periodic implementation results and well established and accurate zero temperature auxiliary quantum Monte Carlo data extrapolated to thermodynamic limit. We discuss differences and similarities with other Greens function embedding methods and provide the detailed algorithmic steps crucial for highly accurate and reproducible results.

Ab initio quantum chemistry calculations for systems with large active spaces are notoriously difficult and cannot be successfully tackled by standard methods. In this letter, we generalize a Greens function QM/QM embedding method called self-energy embedding theory (SEET) that has the potential to be successfully employed to treat large active spaces. In generalized SEET, active orbitals are grouped into intersecting groups of few orbitals allowing us to perform multiple parallel calculations yielding results comparable to the full active space treatment. We examine generalized SEET on a series of examples and discuss a hierarchy of systematically improvable approximations.
We present a new theoretical approach, unrestricted self-energy embedding theory (USEET) that is a Greens function embedding theory used to study problems in which an open, embedded system exchanges electrons with the environment. USEET has a high po tential to be used in studies of strongly correlated systems with odd number of electrons and open shell systems such as transition metal complexes important in inorganic chemistry. In this paper, we show that USEET results agree very well with common quantum chemistry methods while avoiding typical bottlenecks present in these method.
Employing a local formula for the electron-electron interaction energy, we derive a self-consistent approximation for the total energy of a general $N$-electron system. Our scheme works as a local variant of the Thomas-Fermi approximation and yields the total energy and density as a function of the external potential, the number of electrons, and the chemical potential determined upon normalization. Our tests for Hookes atoms, jellium, and model atoms up to $sim 1000$ electrons show that reasonable total energies can be obtained with almost a negligible computational cost. The results are also consistent in the important large-$N$ limit.
We present a theoretical framework and implementation details for self-energy embedding theory (SEET) with the GW approximation for the treatment of weakly correlated degrees of freedom and configuration interactions solver for handing the strongly c orrelated degrees. On a series of molecular examples, for which the exact results are known within a given basis, we demonstrate that SEET(CI/GW) is a systematically improvable and well controlled method capable of giving accurate results and well behaved causal self-energies and Greens functions. We compare the theoretical framework of SEET(CI/GW) to that of GW+DMFT and comment on differences between these to approaches that aim to treat both strongly and weakly correlated simultaneously.
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.
