From orbitals to observables and back

Orbital concepts are of central importance in quantum chemistry. Molecular orbital theory helps to interpret molecular properties; it also provides a link to experimental observables (e.g., photoionization cross sections and angular distributions. We are developing rigorous extensions of molecular orbital concepts into the domain of correlated many-body methods. The key concepts include reduced state and transition density matrices, natural transition orbitals, and Dyson orbitals. We also develop tools connecting these reduced quantities to spectroscopic observables.
