The closed-shell CCSD equations are reformulated in order to achieve superior computational efficiency. Using a spin adaptation scheme based on the unitary group approach (UGA), we have obtained new set of that greatly improves our previous formulation. Based this also derived for configuration interaction including all single and double excitations (CISD) case. Both methods been implemented tested. For range test cases method is more efficient than earlier method. CISD procedure faster...
It is shown that the recently proposed QCI method including all single and double substitutions has essentially same computational requirements as more complete CCSD approach. If properly formulated, equations contain at most quadratic terms in excitation amplitudes.
Psi4 is an ab initio electronic structure program providing methods such as Hartree-Fock, density functional theory, configuration interaction, and coupled-cluster theory. The 1.1 release represents a major update meant to automate complex tasks, geometry optimization using complete-basis-set extrapolation or focal-point methods. Conversion of the top-level code Python module means that can now be used in workflows alongside other tools. Several new features have been added with aid...
