Many-body Green's function theory accurately calculates H2 total energy, agreeing well with configuration interaction results. This method shows promise as an alternative to quantum Monte Carlo techniques for real systems.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Computational Materials Science

Background:

  • Traditional many-body Green's function theory is a powerful tool for electronic structure calculations.
  • Accurate total energy calculations are crucial for understanding chemical bonding and material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of many-body Green's function theory using the random phase approximation (RPA) in the Luttinger-Ward formulation for real systems.
  • To calculate the total energy of the H2 molecule as a function of nuclear separation.

Main Methods:

  • Employed the Luttinger-Ward formulation of the random phase approximation (RPA) within many-body Green's function theory.
  • Calculated the total energy of the H2 molecule at various nuclear separations.
