ABSTRACT
An optimized implementation of block-correlated coupled cluster theory based on the generalized valence bond wave function (GVB-BCCC) for the singlet ground state of strongly correlated systems is presented. The GVB-BCCC method with two-pair correlation (GVB-BCCC2b) or up to three-pair correlation (GVB-BCCC3b) will be the focus of this work. Three major techniques have been adopted to dramatically accelerate GVB-BCCC2b and GVB-BCCC3b calculations. First, the GVB-BCCC2b and GVB-BCCC3b codes are noticeably optimized by removing redundant calculations. Second, independent amplitudes are identified by constraining excited configurations to be pure singlet states and only independent amplitudes need to be solved. Third, an incremental updating scheme for the amplitudes in solving the GVB-BCCC equations is adopted. With these techniques, accurate GVB-BCCC3b calculations are now accessible for systems with relatively large active spaces (50 electrons in 50 orbitals) and GVB-BCCC2b calculations are affordable for systems with much larger active spaces. We have applied GVB-BCCC methods to investigate three typical kinds of systems polyacenes, pentaprismane, and [Cu2O2]2+ isomers. For polyacenes, we demonstrate that GVB-BCCC3b can capture more than 94% of the total correlation energy even for 12-acene with 50 π electrons. For the potential energy curve of simultaneously stretching 15 C-C bonds in pentaprismane, our calculations show that the GVB-BCCC3b results are quite close to the results from the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) over the whole range. For two dinuclear copper oxide isomers, their relative energy predicted by GVB-BCCC3b is also in good accord with the DMRG result. All calculations show that the inclusion of three-pair correlation in GVB-BCCC is critical for accurate descriptions of strongly correlated systems.
