In computational chemistry, post–Hartree–Fock [1] [2] (post-HF) methods are the set of methods developed to improve on the Hartree–Fock (HF), or self-consistent field (SCF) method. They add electron correlation which is a more accurate way of including the repulsions between electrons than in the Hartree–Fock method where repulsions are ...
The origin of the Hartree–Fock method dates back to the end of the 1920s, soon after the discovery of the Schrödinger equation in 1926. Douglas Hartree's methods were guided by some earlier, semi-empirical methods of the early 1920s (by E. Fues, R. B. Lindsay, and himself) set in the old quantum theory of Bohr.
Ab initio quantum chemistry methods are a class of computational chemistry techniques based on quantum chemistry that aim to solve the electronic Schrödinger equation. [1] Ab initio means "from first principles" or "from the beginning", meaning using only physical constants [2] and the positions and number of electrons in the system as input.
Developing post-Hartree–Fock (post-HF) methods based on a ROHF wave function is inherently more difficult than using a UHF wave function, due to the lack of a unique set of molecular orbitals. [5] However, different choices of reference orbitals have shown to provide similar results, [ 6 ] and thus many different post-HFk methods have been ...
Semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods are based on the Hartree–Fock formalism, but make many approximations and obtain some parameters from empirical data. They are very important in computational chemistry for treating large molecules where the full Hartree–Fock method without the approximations is too expensive.
Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP) is one of several quantum chemistry post-Hartree–Fock ab initio methods in the field of computational chemistry.It improves on the Hartree–Fock method by adding electron correlation effects by means of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory (RS-PT), usually to second (MP2), third (MP3) or fourth (MP4) order.

The Category is over used. Specifically on Hartree-Fock, I think the criteria you suggest, would lead it to be removed from this article. Hartree-Fock of course is, these days, used much more by chemists than physicists, but a physicist going down the track of theory of atoms would start with quantum mechanics. That would be the fundamental ...
