Multireference coupled-cluster Ansatz

Pages 3043-3054 | Received 26 Jun 2010, Accepted 10 Sep 2010, Published online: 24 Nov 2010
 

Abstract

The origin of the multireference coupled cluster Ansatz for the wave function and the wave operator, discovered in the Quantum Theory Project in 1981, is presented from the historical perspective. Various methods of obtaining the cluster amplitudes – both state-universal and state-selective – are critically reviewed and further prospects of using the multireference coupled cluster Ansatz in electronic structure theory are briefly discussed.
