Hartree-Fock Approximation and Entanglement

چکیده
The relation between the correlation energy and the entanglement is analytically constructed for the Moshinsky’s model of two coupled harmonic oscillators. It turns out that the two quantities are far to be proportional, even at very small couplings. A comparison is made also with the 2-point Ising model.

Optimal multiconfiguration approximation of an N-fermion wave function
We propose a simple iterative algorithm to construct the optimal multiconfiguration approximation of an N -fermion wave function. Namely, M N single-particle orbitals are sought iteratively so that the projection of the given wave function in the C M -dimensional configuration subspace is maximized. The algorithm has a monotonic convergence property and can be easily parallelized. The significa...
متن کاملEntanglement of electrons in interacting molecules
Quantum entanglement is a concept commonly used with reference to the existence of certain correlations in quantum systems that have no classical interpretation. It is a useful resource to enhance the mutual information of memory channels or to accelerate some quantum processes as, for example, the factorization in Shor’s Algorithm. Moreover, entanglement is a physical observable directly measu...
متن کاملOn the Isovector Channels in Relativistic Point Coupling Models within the Hartree and Hartree-Fock Approximations
We investigate the consequences of Fierz transformations acting upon the contact interactions for nucleon fields occurring in relativistic point coupling models in Hartree approximation, which yield the same models but in Hartree-Fock approximation instead. Identical nuclear ground state observables are calculated in the two approximations, but the magnitudes of the coupling constants are diffe...
متن کاملEntanglement as measure of electron–electron correlation in quantum chemistry calculations
In quantum chemistry calculations, the correlation energy is defined as the difference between the Hartree–Fock limit energy and the exact solution of the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation. With this definition, the electron correlation effects are not directly observable. In this report, we show that the entanglement can be used as an alternative measure of the electron correlation in quant...
متن کاملBest N-term Approximation in Electronic Structure Calculations I. One-electron Reduced Density Matrix
We discuss best N-term approximation spaces for one-electron wavefunctions φi and reduced density matrices ρ emerging from Hartree-Fock and density functional theory. The approximation spaces Aq (H ) for anisotropic wavelet tensor product bases have been recently characterized by Nitsche in terms of tensor product Besov spaces. We have used the norm equivalence of these spaces to weighted q spa...
