Abstract:
A block-correlated coupled cluster method with up to four-pair correlation based on the generalized valence bond wave function (GVB-BCCC4) is first implemented, which offers an alternative method for electronic structure calculations of strongly correlated systems. We developed some techniques to derive a set of compact and cost-effective equations for GVB-BCCC4, which include the definition of n-block (n = 1-4) Hamiltonian matrices, the combination of excitation operators, and the definition of independent amplitudes. We then applied the GVB-BCCC4 method to investigate several potential energy surfaces of strongly correlated systems with singlet ground states. Our calculations demonstrate that the GVB-BCCC4 method can provide nearly exact static correlation energies as the density matrix renormalization group method (on the basis of the same GVB orbitals). This work highlights the significance of four-pair correlation in quantitative descriptions of static correlation energy for strongly correlated systems.
