Title: A time-dependent formulation of multi-reference perturbation theory

Abstract

Here, we discuss the time-dependent formulation of perturbation theory in the context of the interacting zeroth-order Hamiltonians that appear in multi-reference situations. As an example, we present a time-dependent formulation and implementation of second-order n-electron valence perturbation theory. The resulting time-dependent n-electron valence second-order perturbation theory (t-NEVPT2) method yields the fully uncontracted n-electron valence perturbation wavefunction and energy, but has a lower computational scaling than the usual contracted variants, and also avoids the construction of high-order density matrices and the diagonalization of metrics.We present results of t-NEVPT2 for the water, nitrogen, carbon, and chromium molecules and outline directions for the future.
