In quantum chemistry, the Dyall Hamiltonian is a modified Hamiltonian with two-electron nature. It can be written as follows:

^D=^iD+^vD+C
^iD=icoreϵiEii+rvirtϵrErr
^vD=abacthabeffEab+12abcdactab|cd(EacEbdδbcEad)
C=2icorehii+ijcore(2ij|ijij|ji)2icoreϵi
habeff=hab+j(2aj|bjaj|jb)

where labels i,j,, a,b,, r,s, denote core, active and virtual orbitals (see Complete active space) respectively, ϵi and ϵr are the orbital energies of the involved orbitals, and Emn operators are the spin-traced operators amαanα+amβanβ. These operators commute with S2 and Sz, therefore the application of these operators on a spin-pure function produces again a spin-pure function.

The Dyall Hamiltonian behaves like the true Hamiltonian inside the CAS space, having the same eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the true Hamiltonian projected onto the CAS space.
