Definition of “electron correlations” in Quantum Chemistry
• Electron correlations defined as a difference from Full-CI energy
E Corr  E Full CI  E HF
E HF : Energy of a single determinant (independent particle)
E Full CI : Full - CI energy (exact limit) for a set of one - electron basis functions
Restricted HF
• Two classes of electron correlations
Dynamical correlations
Static correlation
is dominant.
– Lack of Coulomb hole
Static (non-dynamical) correlations
– Bond dissociation, Excited states
– Near degeneracy
No explicit separation between dynamical
and static correlations.
Numerically Exact
Dynamical correlation
is dominant.
