Concise configuration interaction expansions for three fermions in six orbitals

The Hilbert space for three fermions in six orbitals, lately dubbed the "Borland-Dennis setting," is a proving ground for insights into electronic structure. Borland and Dennis discovered that, when referred to coordinate systems defined in terms of its natural orbitals, a wave function in the Borland-Dennis setting has the same structure as a 3-qubit state. By dint of the Borland-Dennis Theorem, canonical forms for 3-qubit states have analogs in the Borland-Dennis setting. One of these canonical forms is based upon "max-overlap Slater determinant approximations." Any max-overlap Slater determinant approximation of a given wave function is the leading term in a 5-term configuration interaction (CI) expansion of that wave function. Our main result is that "max-overlap CIS approximations" also lead to 5-term CI expansions, distinct from those based on max-overlap Slater determinant approximations, though of the same symmetric shape. We also prove the analog of this result for 3-qubit setting.
