An improvement on this method, which uses the power series expansion of the Hamiltonian and one of its namesake's operators, is named for Moller and Plesset.

The Jastrow factor represents a correction for this in order to account for electron correlation, which is neglected in this method due to its adoption of the mean field approximation. Koopman's theorem states that the ionization energies correspond to the eigenvalues generated by this method. More often associated with this method is the antisymmetrization of its associated wavefunctions by Slater determinants. For 10 points, name this numerical method for estimating the ground-state energy for a quantum N-body problem, a doubly-eponymous self-consistent field method.
