Accurate and efficient description of interacting carriers in quantum nanostructures by selected configuration interaction and perturbation theory
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present a method to accurately and efficiently calculate many-body states of interacting carriers in quantum nanostructures based on a combination of iterative selection of configurations and perturbation theory. This method enables investigations of large excitonic complexes and multielectron systems with near full configuration interaction accuracy, even though only a small subspace of the full many-body Hilbert space is sampled, thus saving orders of magnitudes in computational resources. Important advantages of this method are that the convergence is controlled by a single parameter, the threshold, and that ground and excited states can be treated on an equal footing. On the example of InAsP nanowire quantum dots described using a million-atom tight-binding approach, we demonstrate the extreme efficiency of the method by numerical studies of large excitonic complexes filling up to the fourth electronic shell. We find that the method generally converges fast as a function of the threshold, profiting from a significant acceleration due to the perturbative corrections. The role of the choice of single-particle basis states is discussed. It is found that the algorithm converges faster in the Hartree-Fock basis only for highly charged systems, where Coulomb repulsion dominates. Finally, based on the observation that second-order perturbative energy corrections only depend on off-diagonal elements of the many-body Hamiltonian, we present a way to accurately calculate many-body states that requires only a relatively small number of Coulomb matrix elements.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
