Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Quantum Information reveals that orbital-wise correlation is essentially classical in Natural Orbitals

arXiv:2404.14093v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The intersection of Quantum Chemistry and Quantum Computing has led to significant advancements in understanding the potential of using quantum devices for the efficient calculation of molecular energies. Simultaneously, this intersection is enhancing the comprehension of quantum chemical properties through the use of quantum computing and quantum information tools. This paper tackles a key question in this relationship: Is the nature of the orbital-wise electron correlations in wavefunctions of realistic prototypical cases classical or quantum?
We delve into this inquiry with a comprehensive examination of molecular wavefunctions using Shannon and von Neumann entropies, alongside classical and quantum information theory. Our analysis reveals a notable distinction between classical and quantum mutual information in molecular systems when analyzed with Hartree-Fock canonical orbitals. However, this difference decreases dramatically, by approximately 100-fold, when Natural Orbitals are used as reference. This finding suggests that wavefunction correlations, when viewed through the appropriate orbital basis, are predominantly classical. This insight indicates that computational tasks in quantum chemistry could be significantly simplified by employing Natural Orbitals. Consequently, our study underscores the importance of using Natural Orbitals to accurately assess molecular wavefunction correlations and to avoid their overestimation. In summary, our results suggest a promising path for computational simplification in quantum chemistry, advocating for the wider adoption of Natural Orbitals and raising questions about the actual computational complexity of the multi-body problem in quantum chemistry.
