🤫Mean Field Approximation and Variational Method | Can Hartree, Fock, and BCS be Mixed 1:1:1?

This article aims to introduce the mean field approximation while elucidating its variational nature.

Hartree, Fock, and BCS—these individual mean field approximations appear to be mutually incompatible decoupling methods. However, by leveraging the variational nature of the mean field approximation, we discover that they can indeed be mixed 1:1:1.
