How To Install mpqc on Debian 10
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install mpqc on Debian 10.
What is mpqc
mpqc is:
MPQC is an ab-inito quantum chemistry program. It is especially designed to compute molecules in a highly parallelized fashion.
It can compute energies and gradients for the following methods:
- Closed shell and general restricted open shell Hartree-Fock (HF)
- Density Functional Theory (DFT)
- Closed shell second-order Moeller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2)
Additionally, it can compute energies for the following methods:
- Open shell MP2 and closed shell explicitly correlated MP2 theory (MP2-R12)
- Second order open shell pertubation theory (OPT2[2])
- Z-averaged pertubation theory (ZAPT2)
It also includes an internal coordinate geometry optimizer.
MPQC is built upon the Scientific Computing Toolkit (SC).
