Learning on-top: Regressing the on-top pair density for real-space visualization of electron correlation

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Alberto Fabrizio, Ksenia Briling, David Daniel Girardier

The on-top pair density is a local quantum-chemical property that reflects the probability of two electrons of any spin to occupy the same position in space. Being the simplest quantity related to the two-particle density matrix, the on-top pair density is ...
