Møller-Plesset Perturbation Theory

Møller-Plesset Perturbation Theory#

Møller-Plesset Perturbation Theory (MPPT) is a widely used method in quantum chemistry to account for electron correlation effects in many-body systems. It is based on perturbation theory and provides a systematic way to improve upon the Hartree-Fock approximation.
