Moller-Plesset Perturbation Theory

Möller-Plesset perturbation theory is a post-Hartree-Fock method that systematically corrects the HF reference by treating electron correlation as a perturbation. Introduced in 1934, MP theory provides increasingly accurate energy estimates (MP2, MP3, MP4, ...) by expanding the correlation energy in orders of perturbation.
