Ab initio quantum chemistryConfiguration interaction

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Configuration interaction expands a state in determinants or configuration state functions within a finite one-particle basis.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Configuration interaction expands a state in determinants or configuration-state functions; truncation controls cost but usually sacrifices size extensivity.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.

Hartree–Fock methodConfiguration interaction

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Configuration interaction expands beyond one Hartree–Fock determinant using selected excited determinants or configuration-state functions in a finite basis.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.
