Abstract: Geminal wavefunctions have been employed to model strongly-correlated electrons. These wavefunctions represent products of weakly-correlated pairs of electrons and reasonable approximations are computable with polynomial cost. In particular, Richardson-Gaudin states have recently been employed as a variational ansatz. This contribution serves to explain the Richardson-Gaudin wavefunctions in the conventional language of quantum chemistry.
