Research Abstract |
One of the most basic problems in quantum chemistry is the electronic structure calculation problem. Using the reduced-density-matrix method, we can obtain an approximate solution solving a convex problem called semidefinite programming problem. This approach is known to be very attractive both in theoretical and numerical aspects. However, its computational time is extremely slow compared to the usual methods and it cannot be used to large-scale problems. We succeed to solve the large-scale semidefinite programming problem with high accuracy using a parallel primal-dual interior-point method. This problem is considered one of the largest semidefinite programming problems solved so far.
