Quadratic approximants \hugh{are designed} to model the singularity structure of the energy
Quadratic approximants are designed to model the singularity structure of the energy
function $E(\lambda)$ via a generalised version of the square-root singularity
expression \cite{Mayer_1985,Goodson_2011,Goodson_2019}
\begin{equation}

E(\lambda) = \frac{1}{2 Q(\lambda)} \qty[ P(\lambda) \pm \sqrt{P^2(\lambda) - 4 Q(\lambda) R(\lambda)} ]

\begin{equation}
Q(\lambda) E^2(\lambda) - P(\lambda) E(\lambda) + R(\lambda) \sim \order*{\lambda^{n+1}}
Q(\lambda) E^2(\lambda) - P(\lambda) E(\lambda) + R(\lambda) \sim \order*{\lambda^{n+1}},

A quadratic approximant, characterised by the label $[d_P/d_Q,d_R]$, generates, by construction,
$n_\text{bp} = \max(2d_p,d_q+d_r)$ branch points at the roots of the polynomial $P^2(\lambda) - 4 Q(\lambda) R(\lambda)$ \hugh{and $d_q$ poles at the roots of $Q(\lambda)$}.

Generally, the diagonal sequence of quadratic approximant,
\ie, $[0/0,0]$, $[1/0,0]$, $[1/0,1]$, $[1/1,1]$, $[2/1,1]$,
is of particular interest \hugh{as the order of the corresponding Taylor series increases on each step.

In particular, these quadratic approximants provide an effective model for the avoided crossings

Since there are no true poles on this surface, we can obtain more accurate quadratic approximants by
