Abstract
The development of computational resources has made it possible to determine upper bounds for atomic and molecular energies with high precision. Yet, error bounds to the computed energies have been available only as estimates. In this paper, the Pollak--Martinazzo lower-bound theory, in conjunction with correlated Gaussian basis sets, is elaborated and implemented to provide subparts-per-million convergence of the ground- and excited-state energies for the He, Li, and Be atoms. The quality of the lower bounds is comparable to that of the upper bounds obtained from the Ritz method. These results exemplify the power of lower bounds to provide tight estimates of atomic energies.
