• Abstract summary: We introduce the use of derivatives of order three or greater to help partially recover the variational lower bound of true UCCSD. We find this "diagonal" approximation to higher order terms to be effective at reducing sensitivity near singularities for strongly correlated regimes.

• Abstract: The recent quantum information boom has effected a resurgence of interest in unitary coupled cluster (UCC) theory. Our group's interest in local energy landscapes of unitary ans\"atze prompted us to investigate the classical approach of truncating the Taylor series expansion (instead of a perturbative expansion) of UCCSD energy at second-order. This amounts to an approach where electron correlation energy is estimated by taking a single Newton-Raphson step from Hartree-Fock toward UCCSD. Such an approach has been explored previously, but the accuracy was not extensively studied. In this paper, we investigate the performance and observe similar pathologies to linearized coupled cluster with singles and doubles. We introduce the use of derivatives of order three or greater to help partially recover the variational lower bound of true UCCSD, restricting these derivatives to those of the "unmixed" category in order to simplify the model. By testing the approach on several potential energy surfaces and reaction energies, we find this "diagonal" approximation to higher order terms to be effective at reducing sensitivity near singularities for strongly correlated regimes, while not significantly diminishing the accuracy of weakly correlated systems.

  We investigate the extent in which missing single excitations can be recovered from low-order perturbations in many-body theory. Our analysis includes the derivations of finite-order, UCC energy functionals. We show that augmenting UCCD with these post hoc perturbative corrections can lead to UCCSD-quality results.

One strategy to mitigate this problem, called Targeted Free Energy Perturbation, uses a high-dimensional mapping in configuration space to increase overlap.
