Predicting and understanding the chemical bond is one of major challenges computational quantum chemistry. Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) most common method, but approximate functionals may not be able to describe systems where multiple electronic configurations are equally important. Multiconfigurational wave functions, on other hand, can provide a detailed structures bonds such systems. In complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) performs full configuration...
