Each of these can be easily computed via the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a different random-phase approximation (RPA) linear eigenvalue problem that completely defines their corresponding response function. For illustrative and comparative purposes, we report the principal ionization potentials of a set of small molecules computed at each level of theory. The performance of these schemes on strongly correlated systems (\\ce{B2} and \\ce{C2}) is also discussed.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.04167v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.04167v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"the-three-channels-of-many-body-perturbation","repo_url":"https://github.com/pfloos/QuAcK","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
