How To Install mpqc3 on Ubuntu 18.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install mpqc3
on Ubuntu 18.04.
What is mpqc3
mpqc3 is:
MPQC3 is an ab-inito quantum chemistry program. It is especially designed to compute molecules in an explicitly-correlated fashion.
It can compute energies and gradients for the following methods:
- Hartree-Fock (HF)
- Density Functional Theory (DFT)
- Second-order Moeller-Plesset pertubation theory (MP2)
Additionally, it can compute energies for the following methods:
- Local MP2 (LMP2)
- Explicitly-correlated density-fitted MP2 (DF-MP2-F12)
- Explicitly-correlated density-fitted coupled-cluster singles doubles (DF-CCSD-F12)
- Explicitly-correlated density-fitted coupled-cluster singles doubles with perturbative triples (DF-CCSD(T)-F12)
- Explicitly-correlated density-fitted complete active space SCF (DF-CASSCF-F12)
- Explicitly-correlated density-fitted multi-reference configuration interaction (DF-MRCI-F12)
It also includes an internal coordinate geometry optimizer.
