• Authors: Yuncai Mei, Zehua Chen, Weitao Yang
• Abstract summary: We develop a second order correction to commonly used density functional approximations (DFA) For small and medium-size molecules, this correction leads to ground-state orbital energies that are highly accurate approximation to the corresponding quasiparticle energies. It provides excellent predictions of ionization potentials, electron affinities, photoemission spectrum and photoexcitation energies beyond previous approximate second order approaches.

• Abstract: We develop a second order correction to commonly used density functional approximations (DFA) to eliminate the systematic delocalization error. The method, based on the previously developed global scaling correction (GSC), is an exact quadratic correction to the DFA for the fractional charge behavior and uses the analytical second derivatives of the total energy with respect to fractional occupation numbers of the canonical molecular orbitals. For small and medium-size molecules, this correction leads to ground-state orbital energies that are highly accurate approximation to the corresponding quasiparticle energies. It provides excellent predictions of ionization potentials, electron affinities, photoemission spectrum and photoexcitation energies beyond previous approximate second order approaches, thus showing potential for broad applications in computational spectroscopy.

  We introduce reduced density matrix (RDM) based second order theory (PT2) as an energetic correction to electron pair approximation. The new approach takes into account the broken-pair energy contribution that is missing in pair-correlated electron simulations. On two generations of the IonQ's trapped ion quantum computers, Aria and Forte, we find that unlike the VQE energy, the PT2 energy correction is highly noise-resilient.
