It is demonstrated theoretically in the random phase approximation (RPA) that due to the intershell many-electron correlations the sigma(*) shape resonance in the photoionization of K shells of the N2 molecule appears not only in the 1sigma(g)-->varepsilonsigma(u) channel as it was believed earlier on the basis of single particle calculations, but in both 1sigma(g)-->varepsilonsigma(u) and 1sigma(u)-->varepsilonsigma(g) channels. As a confirmation of this phenomenon we show that the experimental angular distributions of photoelectrons ejected from fixed-in-space N2 molecules can be reproduced theoretically only after taking into account many-electron correlations.

Many-electron correlation methods offer a systematic approach to predicting material properties with high precision. However, practically attaining accurate ground-state properties for bulk metals presents significant challenges. In this work, we propose a novel scheme to reach the thermodynamic limit of the total ground-state energy of metals using coupled cluster theory.

Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT) is an extremely popular, in-principle exact method, which can describe any many-electron system by introducing an auxiliary system of noninteracting electrons with the same density. When the number of electrons, , changes continuously, taking on both integer and fractional values, the density has to be piecewise-linear, with respect to . In this article, I explore how the piecewise-linearity property of the exact interacting density is reflected in the KS system.

Understanding the real-time evolution of many-electron quantum systems is essential for studying dynamical properties in condensed matter, quantum chemistry, and complex materials, yet it poses a significant theoretical and computational challenge. Our work introduces a variational approach for fermionic time-dependent wave functions, surpassing mean-field approximations by accurately capturing many-body correlations. We employ time-dependent Jastrow factors and backflow transformations, enhanced through neural networks parameterizations.

It is the ultimate goal of this work to foster synergy between quantum chemistry and the flourishing field of quantum information theory. For this, we first translate quantum information concepts, such as entanglement and correlation, into the context of quantum chemical systems. In particular, we establish two conceptually distinct perspectives on 'electron correlation', leading to a notion of orbital and particle correlation.

Multi-configurational electronic structure theory delivers the most versatile approximations to many-electron wavefunctions, flexible enough to deal with all sorts of transformations, ranging from electronic excitations, to open-shell molecules and chemical reactions. Multi-configurational models are therefore essential to establish universally applicable, predictive methods for chemistry. Here, we present a discussion of explicit correlation approaches which address the nagging problem of dealing with static and dynamic electron correlation in multi-configurational active-space approaches.
