# Post Hartree-Fock Methods 1. Introduction - Correlation energy - Notations - Outlines 2. Configuration Interaction (CI) - CI wave function ansatz - Excited determinants - Truncated CI and Pople diagram - Size of FCI space - CI energy and eigenvalue problem - Structure of the CI matrix - Slater-Condon rules - Size consistency 3. Perturbation Theory (PT) - Formal Rayleigh-Schrodinger PT - Expression of 2nd-order energy and 1st-order wave function - Moller-Plesset PT up to 2nd order - Pople diagram and convergence - Computation of MP2 correlation energy (with AO-to-MO transformation) 4. Coupled Cluster (CC) - CC wave function ansatz - Wave operator, excitation operators, etc - CC vs CI: cluster analysis - Formal CC theory - CC energy - Pople diagram - Variational CC - Unitary CC - Similarity-transformed Hamiltonian - BCH expansion and amplitude/energy equations - Computation of CCD energy and amplitudes
