• Abstract: It is the ultimate goal of this work to foster synergy between quantum chemistry and the flourishing field of quantum information theory. For this, we first translate quantum information concepts such as entanglement and correlation into the context of quantum chemical systems. In particular, we establish two conceptually distinct perspectives on `electron correlation' leading to a notion of orbital and particle correlation. We then demonstrate that particle correlation equals total orbital correlation minimized over all orbital bases. Accordingly, particle correlation resembles the minimal, thus intrinsic, complexity of many-electron wave functions while orbital correlation quantifies their complexity relative to a basis. We illustrate these concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic correlation complexity in molecular systems, which also manifests the crucial link between the two correlation pictures. Our results provide theoretical justification for the long-favored natural orbitals for simplifying electronic structures, and open new pathways for developing more efficient approaches towards the electron correlation problem.

  We investigate the nature of the orbital-wise electron correlations in wavefunctions of realistic cases classical or quantum. Our analysis reveals a notable distinction between classical and quantum mutual information in molecular systems. This finding suggests that wavefunction correlations, when viewed through the appropriate orbital basis, are predominantly classical.

By utilizing the geometric picture of quantum states we compare -- on a unified basis and in an operationally meaningful way -- total, quantum and classical correlation and entanglement in molecular ground states.
