| contents | The task of computing wavefunctions that are accurate, yet simple enough mathematical objects to use for reasoning has long been a challenge in quantum chemistry. The difficulty in drawing physical conclusions from a wavefunction is often related to the generally large number of configurations with similar weights. In Tensor Product Selected CI, we use a locally correlated tensor product state basis, which has the effect of concentrating the weight of a state onto a smaller number of physically interpretable degrees of freedom. In this paper, we apply TPSCI to a series of three molecular systems ranging in separability, one of which is the first application of TPSCI to an open-shell bimetallic system. For each of these systems, we obtain accurate solutions to large active spaces, and analyze the resulting wavefunctions through a series of different approaches including (i) direct inspection of the TPS basis coefficients, (ii) construction of Bloch effective Hamiltonians, and (iii) computation of cluster correlation functions. |
