In this work, we demonstrate how to efficiently compute the one- and two-body reduced density matrices within spin-adapted full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) method, which is based on graphical unitary group approach (GUGA). This allows us use GUGA-FCIQMC as a spin-pure (CI) eigensolver complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) procedure hence stochastically treat spaces far larger than conventional CI solvers while variationally relaxing orbitals for...
The large antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in the parent high-${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$ cuprate superconductors is believed to play a crucial role pairing superconducting carriers. recent observation of superconductivity hole-doped infinite-layer (IL-) ${\mathrm{NdNiO}}_{2}$ brings fore relevance magnetic superconductors, particularly because no ordering observed undoped IL-${\mathrm{NdNiO}}_{2}$, unlike copper oxides. Here, we investigate electronic structure and nature...

Abstract The equilibrium structure and rovibrational energies of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) in its electronic ground state ( X 1 Σ + ) are derived from a high-level ab initio potential energy function (PEF). This PEF is based on composite approach with the basic contribution given by explicitly correlated coupled-cluster (CC) calculations. Smaller contributions include corrections due to inner-shell correlation, scalar-relativistic effects higher-order correlation up iterative pentuple...
