The Chronus Quantum (ChronusQ) software package is an open source (under the GNU General Public License v2) software infrastructure which targets the solution of challenging problems that arise in ab initio electronic structure theory. Special emphasis is placed on the consistent treatment of time dependence and spin in the electronic wave function, as well as the inclusion of relativistic effects in said treatments. In addition, ChronusQ provides support for the inclusion of uniform finite…

Modeling Ultrafast Electron Dynamics in Strong Magnetic Fields Using Real-Time Time-Dependent Electronic Structure Methods

The complex evolution of the absorption spectra with magnetic field is rationalized using the molecular orbital pair decomposition analysis, which provides crucial insight in strong fields where the spectra are radically different from their zero-field counterparts.

Free and open source software for computational chemistry education

It is demonstrated that a decentralized model for teaching computational chemistry is now possible thanks to FOSS packages, enabling students to perform reasonable modeling on their own computing devices in the bring your own device (BYOD) scheme.

Relativistic two-component projection-based quantum embedding for open-shell systems.

The relativistic embedding formalism introduced in this work is well suited for efficient modeling of open-shell systems containing late transition metal, lanthanide, and actinide molecular complexes.

Real-Time Time-Dependent Nuclear-Electronic Orbital Approach: Dynamics Beyond the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation.

This work derives and implements a real-time NEO (RT-NEO) approach based on time-dependent Hatree-Fock or density functional theory, in which both the electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom are propagated in a time- dependent variational framework.

The coupled-cluster method overcomes the COD in the sense that the method scales polynomially with the number of particles while still being size-consistent and extensive, and is a hierarchy of approximations to the now standard multi-configurational time-dependent Hartree method for fermions.

Perturbative calculation of spin-orbit splittings using the equation-of-motion ionization-potential coupled-cluster ansatz.

We remove the nonuniqueness of the embedding potential that exists in most previous quantum mechanical embedding schemes by letting the environment and embedded region share a common embedding…

Symplectic integration and physical interpretation of time-dependent coupled-cluster theory.

The formulation of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in terms of coupled-cluster theory is outlined, with emphasis on the bivariational framework and its classical Hamiltonian structure, and experiments indicate that a system-dependent upper limit exists for the external field strengths.
