A new orbital-free quantum perturbation theory efficiently calculates density matrix responses. This method offers linear scaling for perturbed regions and constant scaling for total system size, enabling high-order expansions.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum chemistry
  • Computational physics
  • Theoretical materials science

Background:

  • Accurate calculation of electronic structure is crucial for understanding chemical and physical properties.
  • Existing methods often face computational limitations with increasing system size.
  • Efficiently treating subsystems within larger quantum systems remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel orbital-free quantum perturbation theory.
  • To enable efficient computation of density matrix responses to Hamiltonian variations.
  • To facilitate the study of embedded quantum subsystems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes quadratically convergent recursions based on perturbed projections.
  • Applies an orbital-free approach to quantum perturbation theory.
