• Abstract: Currently, there is a growing interest in the development of a new hierarchy of methods based on the concept of seniority, which has been introduced quite recently in quantum chemistry. Despite the enormous potential of these methods, the accurate description of both dynamical and static correlation effects within a single and in-principle-exact approach remains a challenge. In this work, we propose an alternative formulation of reduced density-matrix functional theory (RDMFT) where the (one-electron reduced) density matrix is mapped onto an ab initio seniority-zero wave function. In this theory, the exact natural orbitals and their occupancies are determined self-consistently from an effective seniority-zero calculation. The latter involves a universal higher-seniority density matrix functional for which an adiabatic connection (AC) formula is derived and implemented under specific constraints that are related to the density matrix. The pronounced curvature of the (constrained) AC integrand, which is numerically observed in prototypical hydrogen chains and the Helium dimer, indicates that a description of higher-seniority correlations within second-order perturbation theory is inadequate in this context. Applying multiple linear interpolations along the AC or connecting second-order perturbation theory to a full-seniority treatment via Pad\'{e} approximants are better strategies. Such information is expected to serve as a guide in the future design of higher-seniority density-matrix functional approximations.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

• Relativistic reduced density matrix functional theory [0.0]
  We propose to consider reduced density matrix functional theory, where the key quantity is the first-order reduced density matrix (1-RDM) Within the np approximation the theory becomes similar to the nonrelativistic case, with as unknown only the functional that describes the electron-electron interactions in terms of the 1-RDM. This requires the construction of functional approximations, and we therefore also present the relativistic versions of some common RDMFT approximations.
