Advances in theory and algorithms for electronic structure calculations must be incorporated into program packages to enable them to become routinely used by the broader chemical community. This work reviews advances made over the past five years or so that constitute the major improvements contained in a new release of the Q-Chem quantum chemistry package, together with illustrative timings and applications. Specific developments discussed include fast methods for density functional theory…

Software for the frontiers of quantum chemistry: An overview of developments in the Q-Chem 5 package.

Technical advances contained in Q-Chem 5 include a suite of tools for modeling core-level spectroscopy, methods for describing metastable resonances, method for computing vibronic spectra, the nuclear–electronic orbital method, and several different energy decomposition analysis techniques.

Fast Density-Functional-Theory Calculation With Q-Chem Program

The new method, called multiresolution exchage-correlation (mrXC), takes advantage of the variation in resolution among the Gaussian basis functions, and shifts the calculation associated with low-resolution basis function pairs to an even-spaced cubic grid.
