- fermionic_dipole(mol, cutoff=1e-18, core=None, active=None)[source]¶
Return a function that builds the fermionic dipole moment observable.
The dipole operator in the second-quantized form is
\[\hat{D} = -\sum_{pq} d_{pq} [\hat{c}_{p\uparrow}^\dagger \hat{c}_{q\uparrow} + \hat{c}_{p\downarrow}^\dagger \hat{c}_{q\downarrow}] - \hat{D}_\mathrm{c} + \hat{D}_\mathrm{n},\]where the matrix elements \(d_{pq}\) are given by the integral of the position operator \(\hat{{\bf r}}\) over molecular orbitals \(\phi\)
\[d_{pq} = \int \phi_p^*(r) \hat{{\bf r}} \phi_q(r) dr,\]and \(\hat{c}^{\dagger}\) and \(\hat{c}\) are the creation and annihilation operators, respectively. The contribution of the core orbitals and nuclei are denoted by \(\hat{D}_\mathrm{c}\) and \(\hat{D}_\mathrm{n}\), respectively, which are computed as
\[\hat{D}_\mathrm{c} = 2 \sum_{i=1}^{N_\mathrm{core}} d_{ii},\]and
\[\hat{D}_\mathrm{n} = \sum_{i=1}^{N_\mathrm{atoms}} Z_i {\bf R}_i,\]where \(Z_i\) and \({\bf R}_i\) denote, respectively, the atomic number and the nuclear coordinates of the \(i\)-th atom of the molecule.
