• Abstract: We propose a non-iterative, post hoc correction to the unitary coupled cluster theory with single, double, and triple excitations (UCCSDT) ansatz, which considers the leading-order effects of neglected quadruple excitations. We present two ways to derive this quadruples correction to UCCSDT, henceforth referred to as [Q-6], which leads to an improvement in the correlation energy shown to be correct through sixth-order in many-body perturbation theory (MBPT). A comparison between the UCC-based [Q-6] correction proposed in this work and analogous, "platinum" standard quadruples corrections proposed in conventional coupled cluster (CC) theory recognizes that [Q-6] is distinct from prior corrections since it is constructed entirely from internally connected components. Although Trotterized (t) and full operator variants of UCCSDT exhibit errors in scans of small molecule potential energy surfaces (PESs) that routinely exceed 1.6 mH, we find that t/UCCSDT[Q-6] is nevertheless able to achieve chemical accuracy as measured by the mean-unsigned error (MUE).

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.

• Extension of the Trotterized Unitary Coupled Cluster to Triple Excitations [0.0]
  Trotterized Unitary Coupled Cluster Single and Double (UCCSD) ansatz has recently attracted interest due to its use in Variation Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) molecular simulations on quantum computers. We extend the Trotterized UCC approach via the addition of (true) Triple T excitations introducing UCCSDT. Our initial numerical tests (12-14 qubits) show that UCCSDT improves the overall accuracy by at least two-orders of magnitudes with respect to standard UCCSD.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
