| contents | A unitary coupled-cluster (UCC)-based self-consistent electron propagator theory (EPT) is proposed for the description of electron-detached and electron-attached states. Two practical schemes, termed IP/EA-UCC3 and IP/EA-qUCCSD, are developed and implemented within the UCC singles and doubles (UCCSD) framework using the perturbative and commutator-based truncation strategies for the similarity-transformed Hamiltonian $\bar{H}$. The numerical performance of these UCC-based EPT methods is evaluated primarily using full configuration interaction (FCI) reference data and compared with established approaches, including IP/EA-ADC(3), IP/EA-ADC(4) and IP/EA-EOM-CCSD. Benchmark calculations demonstrate that IP-qUCCSD achieves the highest overall accuracy among Hermitian ionized-state methods for one-hole (1h)-dominated IPs of closed-shell systems, with a mean absolute deviation (MAD) of 0.19 eV and standard deviation (SD) of 0.13 eV. Remarkably, despite the absence of triple-excitation contributions, IP-qUCCSD outperforms the higher-order ADC(4) method. For one-particle (1p)-dominated EA calculations, all tested methods exhibit comparable accuracy. |
