The variability of these correlation systems necessitates the use of an exact definition in expression of units. In the present paper all activity units will be defined as recommended by IUPAC, i.e., one unit equals the substrate conversion in micromoles per minute at 25° C per milliliter enzyme solution unless indicated otherwise. The referred data given in the literature have been recalculated for these units wherever possible. 

In general, it appears that expert systems which combine symbolic/numeric processing capabilities are necessary to effectively automate decision-making in applications involving analytical and process instrumentation/sensors. Furthermore, these integrated decision structures will likely be embedded (67-69) within the analytical or process units to provide fully automated pattern recognition/correlation systems for future intelligent instrumentation.

This decomposition of the 2-RDM is well known from the cumulant theory (see earlier chapters). F is the cumulant matrix of the 2-RDM. Since it arises from interactions in the Hamiltonian, it might also be called the pair correlation matrix. This definition of correlation differs from the traditional one since is the one-matrix of the correlated system and not that corresponding to independent particles. 

Next let us consider a correlated system, typified by the formic acid dimer...

Apart from the demands of the Pauli principle, the motion of electrons described by the wavefunction P° attached to the Hamiltonian H° is independent. This situation is called the independent particle or single-particle picture. Examples of single-particle wavefunctions are the hydrogenic functions (pfr,ms) introduced above, and also wavefunctions from a Hartree-Fock (HF) approach (see Section 7.3). HF wavefunctions follow from a self-consistent procedure, i.e., they are derived from an ab initio calculation without any adjustable parameters. Therefore, they represent the best wavefunctions within the independent particle model. As mentioned above, the description of the Z-electron system by independent particle functions then leads to the shell model. However, if the Coulomb interaction between the electrons is taken more accurately into account (not by a mean-field approach), this simplified picture changes and the electrons are subject to a correlated motion which is not described by the shell model. This correlated motion will be explained for the simplest correlated system, the ground state of helium. 

Competing ground states and quantum criticality present a special interest of modem physics of strongly correlated systems and most of emergent materials [1, 2], The lightly doped Cu xMxGeO has demonstrated a competition of a dimerized spin-Peierls (SP) phase and a 3D AFM phase, which replace each other under temperature decrease [3-5], The microscopic mechanism of this replacement and phase coexistence (phase separation) could be a subject of magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 

In the Moller-Plesset perturbation method, the correlated system is considered to be a perturbation of the Hartree-Fock system. Consequently, each correlated configuration may be expressed as a linear combination of HF configurations. The acronyms MP2, MP3, MP4, etc. indicate Moiler-Plesset methods truncated at the second, third or fourth order of perturbation. Only the MP2 method is of common use. In higher order MP models, geometry must be optimized numerically. 

A third concern about correlated systems is related to the task of solving the appropriate effective Hamiltonians and extracting information from them. Our interest here concerns work towards this goal. Thence, in this chapter we focus our attention on some useful tools and different many-body wave functions which allow extracting information from Heisenberg-like Hamiltonians with controlled approximations capable of a systematic improvement. This chapter cannot pretend to be exhaustive, though.
