We investigate the numerical and theoretical aspects of the coupled-cluster method tailored by matrix-product states. This multi-reference formalism combines the single-reference coupled-cluster (CC) approach with a full configuration interaction (FCI) solution covering the static correlation [3]. This keeps the computational costs low as the full configuration interaction solution is calculated for a subsystem and guarantees the high accuracy of the CC method for the dynamical correlation. In the presented approach the FCI solution is approximated by matrix-product states [4]. The computational results presented in [4, 5] show that the precession of the DMRG-TCC method outruns traditional high accuracy CC methods like CCSD(T) and even CCSDTQ. The outstanding performance of the young DMRG-TCC method makes it an extremely promising candidate for the computation of strongly correlated systems. We here extend the mathematical analysis performed in [1] by numerical investigations of the error behavior. Since error studies require high precision calculations, we restrict the investigations on bond dissociation of the Nitrogen dimer, which is due to its size computationally accessible. The main focus of this error study lies on the CAS choice by means of the quantum information theory properties: single site entropy and mutual information profile. We here elaborate on the robustness of the CAS choice with respect to the bond dimension and furthermore compare the exact error behavior to the analytically predicted error bound. This reveals interesting features of the tailored coupled cluster method.
