Quantization techniques clusters

Needless to say, it was the second quantization formalism of quantum field theory, enabling the exploitation of Wick s theorem together with a representation via Feynman-like graphs or diagrams—the mathematical techniques relied upon by all the above authors [32-34]—that made it possible to carry out the general proof of the extensive nature of RSPT and to unscramble the general structure of MBPT wave functions and energies. The principal results of these efforts are usually referred to as the linked cluster and connected cluster theorems (see below). 

Along this line, in a recent paper [37] we introduced the so-called quasiparticle-based MR CC method (QMRCC). The mathmatical structure of QMRCC is more or less the same as that of the well-known SR CC theory, i.e., the reference function is a determinant, commuting cluster operators are applied, normal-ordering and diagram techniques can be used, the method is extensive, etc. The point where the MR description appears is the application of quasiparticle slates instead of the ordinary molecular orbitals. These quasiparticles are second-quantized many-particle objects introduced by a unitary transformation which allows us to represent the reference CAS function in a determinant-like form. As it is shown in the cited paper, on one hand the QMRCC method has some advantages with respect to the closely related SR-based MR CC theory [22, 31, 34] (more...
