Abstract

The connected-moments expansion (CMX) for the ground-state energy is derived from the Horn-Weinstein theorem. This new technique possesses several striking advantages over traditional approaches to calculation of the ground-state energy. Like perturbational theories, the CMX series is conceptually simple but is easier to derive and program and is usually convergent even for very ``crude'' trial kets. Numerical examples reveal potential applicability of CMX for calculation of the correlation energy when the trial ket has the form of multideterminant wave function.
