We explore the non-Hermitian extension of quantum chemistry in the complex plane and its link with perturbation theory.

We observe that the physics of a quantum system is intimately connected to the position of complex-valued energy singularities, known as exceptional points.
After presenting the fundamental concepts of non-Hermitian quantum chemistry in the complex plane, including the mean-field Hartree--Fock approximation and Rayleigh--Schr\"odinger perturbation theory, we provide a historical overview of the various research activities that have been performed on the physics of singularities.
In particular, we highlight the seminal work \trashHB{of several research groups} on the convergence behaviour of perturbative series obtained within M{\o}ller--Plesset perturbation theory, and its links with quantum phase transitions.
We also discuss several resummation techniques (such as Pad\'e and quadratic approximants) that can improve the overall accuracy of the M{\o}ller--Plesset perturbative series in both convergent and divergent cases.
Each of these points is \trashHB{pedagogically} illustrated using the Hubbard dimer at half filling, which proves to be a versatile model for understanding the subtlety of analytically-continued perturbation theory in the complex plane.

In the \trash{Hartree--Fock (HF)} \titou{HF} approximation, the many-electron wave function is approximated as a single Slater determinant $\whf(\vb{x}_1,\ldots,\vb{x}_\Ne)$, where $\vb{x} = (\sigma,\vb{r})$ is a composite vector gathering spin and spatial coordinates.
In the HF approximation, the many-electron wave function is approximated as a single Slater determinant $\whf(\vb{x}_1,\ldots,\vb{x}_\Ne)$, where $\vb{x} = (\sigma,\vb{r})$ is a composite vector gathering spin and spatial coordinates.
This Slater determinant is defined as an antisymmetric combination of $\Ne$ (real-valued) occupied one-electron spin-orbitals $\phi_p(\vb{x})$, which are, by definition, eigenfunctions of the one-electron Fock operator

In the most flexible variant of real HF theory (generalised HF) the one-electron orbitals can be complex-valued

However, the application of HF theory with some level of constraint on the orbital structure is far more common.
Forcing the spatial part of the orbitals to be the same for spin-up and spin-down electrons leads to restricted HF (RHF) method,
while allowing different orbitals for different spins leads to the so-called unrestricted HF (UHF) approach.\cite{StuberPaldus}
The advantage of the UHF approximation is its ability to correctly describe strongly correlated systems,
such as antiferromagnetic phases\cite{Slater_1951} or the dissociation of the hydrogen dimer.\cite{Coulson_1949}
