Correlation

[Iulia ZAI]

In classical physics, studying a many-body problem involves forming correlation pairs between two bodies at a time and then applying explicit equation to determine exact solutions to the problem at hand. This is not the case with quantum physics, however, where the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics means that one cannot straightforward calculate exact solutions, but rather produce refined approximations of multi-body system based on probabilities while using additional terms not present in classical physics such as, the exchange energy employed in the case of electron correlation.
