Phys. Cond. Mat.} + +The present multidisciplinary review explores the non-Hermitian extension of computational quantum chemistry in the complex plane and its link with perturbation theory. +In particular, we focus on its mathematical roots and its connection with physical phenomena such as quantum phase transitions and exceptional points in the complex plane. +We begin by presenting the fundamental concepts behind non-Hermitian extensions of quantum chemistry into the complex plane, including the Hartree-Fock approximation and +Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation theory. +We then provide a comprehensive review of the various research that has been performed around the physics of complex singularities in perturbation theory, with a particular focus on M{\o}ller?Plesset theory. +Finally, several resummation techniques that can be used to improve energy estimates for both convergent and divergent series (including Pad\'e and quadratic approximants) are discussed. +Throughout this review, we present illustrative and pedagogical examples based on the ubiquitous Hubbard dimer at half-filling, reinforcing the amazing versatility of this powerful simplistic model. + +Due to the genuine interdisciplinary nature of the present article and its pedological aspect, we believe that it will be of interest to a wide audience within the physics and chemistry communities. +We hope that the editors and the reviewers of JPCM will find this topical review enjoyable and educative. + +\closing{Sincerely, the authors.} + + +\end{letter} +\end{document} + + + + + + diff --git a/Cover_Letter/UPS_letterhead.sty b/Cover_Letter/UPS_letterhead.sty new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2e5f5bb --- /dev/null +++ b/Cover_Letter/UPS_letterhead.sty @@ -0,0 +1,70 @@ +%ANU etterhead Yves +%version 1.0 12/06/08 +%need to be improved + + +\RequirePackage{graphicx} + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% DEFINE USER-SPECIFIC MACROS BELOW %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\def\Who {Pierre-Fran\c{c}ois Loos} +\def\What {Dr} +\def\Where {Universit\'e Paul Sabatier} +\def\Address {Laboratoire de Chimie et Physique Quantiques} +\def\CityZip {Toulouse, France} +\def\Email {loos@irsamc.ups-tlse.fr} +\def\TEL {+33 5 61 55 73 39} +\def\URL {} % NOTE: use $\sim$ for tilde + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% MARGINS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\textwidth 6in +\textheight 9.25in +\oddsidemargin 0.25in +\evensidemargin 0.25in +\topmargin -1.50in +\longindentation 0.50\textwidth +\parindent 5ex + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ADDRESS MACRO BELOW %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +\address{ + \includegraphics[height=0.7in]{CNRS_logo.pdf} \hspace*{\fill}\includegraphics[height=0.7in]{UPS_logo.pdf} + \\ + \hrulefill + \\ + {\small \What~\Who\hspace*{\fill} Telephone:\ \TEL + \\ + \Where\hspace*{\fill} Email:\ \Email + \\ + \Address\hspace*{\fill} + \\ + \CityZip\hspace*{\fill} \URL} + } + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% OTHER MACROS BELOW %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%\signature{\What~\Who} + +\def\opening#1{\ifx\@empty\fromaddress + \thispagestyle{firstpage} + \hspace*{\longindendation}\today\par + \else \thispagestyle{empty} + {\centering\fromaddress \vspace{5\parskip} \\ +\today\hspace*{\fill}\par} + \fi + \vspace{3\parskip} + {\raggedright \toname \\ \toaddress \par}\vspace{3\parskip} + \noindent #1\par\raggedright\parindent 5ex\par + } + +%I do not know what does the macro below + +%\long\def\closing#1{\par\nobreak\vspace{\parskip} + %\stopbreaks + %\noindent + %\ifx\@empty\fromaddress\else + %\hspace*{\longindentation}\fi + %\parbox{\indentedwidth}{\raggedright + %\ignorespaces #1\vskip .65in + %\ifx\@empty\fromsig + %\else \fromsig \fi\strut} + %\vspace*{\fill} +% \par} diff --git a/Cover_Letter/UPS_logo.pdf b/Cover_Letter/UPS_logo.pdf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ca9ecee Binary files /dev/null and b/Cover_Letter/UPS_logo.pdf differ
