Formulae for the static electronic polarizability and hyperpolarizability are derived in terms of moments of the ground-state electron density matrix by applying the Unsöld approximation and a generalization of the Fermi-Amaldi approximation. The latter formula for the hyperpolarizability appears to be new. The formulae manifestly transform correctly under rotations, and they are observed to be essentially cumulant expressions. Consequently, they are additive over different regions. The properties of the formula are discussed in relation to others that have been proposed in order to clarify inconsistencies. The formulae are then tested against coupled-perturbed Hartree-Fock results for a set of 40 donor-π-acceptor systems. For the polarizability, the correlation is reasonable; therefore, electron density matrix moments from theory or experiment may be used to predict polarizabilities. By constrast, the results for the hyperpolarizabilities are poor, not even within one or two orders of magnitude. The formula for the two- and three-particle density matrices obtained as a side result in this work may be interesting for density functional theories.

Two-dimensional cuts through spin-integrated single-particle density matrices (SPDMs) have proven to be a valuable tool to discuss the nature of chemical bonding independent of the degree of rotation of the underlying orbitals in Hilbert space. Starting from a straightforward concept for the interpretation of σ bonds, we briefly present how the transition from purely ionic to mainly covalent bonding is mirrored in the off-diagonal features of the SPDM in the isoelectronic series LiF, BeO and BN. Furthermore, we outline one of several possible ways to extend the graphical representation and interpretation of SPDMs to the case of π bonds in organic molecules and apply it to the conjugated π-electron system 1,6-hexadiynediol.

We investigate the canonical forms of positive partial transposition (PPT) density matrices in [Formula: see text] composite quantum systems with rank N. A general expression for these PPT states are explicitly obtained. From this canonical form a sufficient separability condition is presented.
