Published: December 2005

We generalize antisymmetric geminal products to more than just one generating geminal using an Aufbau Ansatz similar to the Hartree-Fock theory. Investigation of Li-, Be, B+, LiH, BeH+, and He2 shows a very high recovery of electron-correlation energy using this Aufbau Ansatz. The method is inherently multideterminantal and insensitive to symmetry problems. The computational complexity is en par with configuration interaction of singles and doubles.

Quantum chemistry offers a large variety of methods to treat excited states. Many of them are based on a multireference wave function ansatz and are therefore characterized by an intrinsic complexity and high computational costs. To overcome these drawbacks and also some limitations of simpler single-reference approaches (e.

Recently, ground state eigenvectors of the reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) Hamiltonian, Richardson-Gaudin (RG) states, have been employed as a wavefunction ansatz for strong correlation. This wavefunction physically represents a mean-field of pairs of electrons (geminals) with a constant pairing strength. To move beyond the mean-field, one must develop the wavefunction on the basis of all the RG states.

In this work, we revisited the idea of using the coupled-cluster (CC) ground state formalism to target excited states. Our main focus was targeting doubly excited states and double core hole states. Typical equation-of-motion (EOM) approaches for obtaining these states struggle without higher-order excitations than doubles.

Using James Scott's (2009) theoretical framework of the interaction between the state and peripheral people, we argue that the welfare state should be regarded as a in the context of the state's endeavours to project its power to distant peoples in assigned state zones. Our discussion is based on interviews in Xinyuan County in the Western part of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. Presenting current policies and alternative policy options discussed at the local level for providing primary health care in rural China, we argue that decisions made in the implementation process did not respond to the special health needs of mobile pastoralists in the high plains, but were part of the central state logic of homogenising settlement efforts and health care.
