Title: Dynamically weighted multireference perturbation theory: Combining the advantages of multi-state and state-averaged methods

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce two new approaches to compute near-degenerate electronic states based on the driven similarity renormalization group (DSRG) framework. The first approach is a unitary multi-state formalism based on the DSRG (MS-DSRG), whereby an effective Hamiltonian is built from a set of state-specific solutions. The second approach employs a dynamic weighting parameter to smoothly interpolate between the multi-state and the state-averaged DSRG schemes. The resulting dynamically weighted DSRG (DW-DSRG) theory incorporates the most desirable features of both multi-state approaches (ability to accurately treat many states) and state-averaged methods (correct description of avoided crossings and conical intersections). We formulate second-order perturbation theories (PT2) based on the MS- and DW-DSRG and study the potential energy curves of LiF, the conical intersection of the two lowest singlet states of NH3, and several low-lying excited states of benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene. The DW-DSRG-PT2 predicts the correct avoided crossing of LiF and avoids artifacts produced by the corresponding state-specific and multi-state theories. Excitation energies of the acenes computed with the DW-DSRG-PT2 are found to be more accurate than the corresponding state-averaged values, showing a small dependence on the number of states computed.
