Summary: Accurate calculation of ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the NH3 molecule is challenging due to poor convergence of standard CCSD(T) method. The study found that empirical parameters are closer to experimental results compared to explicitly correlated methods. Additionally, applying corrections to all PESs significantly reduced the deviation between predicted and experimental results.

Summary: This paper uses the direct random-phase approximation (dRPA) to calculate and compare the atomization energies of ten selected molecules in the HEAT set and G2-1 set, using both plane waves and Gaussian-type orbitals. Detailed procedures are described for obtaining highly accurate and well converged results using the projector augmented-wave method and the explicitly correlated dRPA-F12 method. The results show that both approaches agree within chemical accuracy for all considered molecules.

Summary: We present correlation-consistent basis sets for hydrocarbon systems, VnZ-F12-wis (n = D,T,Q). The basis sets are evaluated on a challenging test set for hydrocarbon barrier heights and demonstrate good performance. Our basis sets are compact and provide a computational advantage for large systems.

Summary: An overview of the approximations in explicitly correlated local coupled cluster methods PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12 and DLPNO-CCSD(T)(F12) is provided. The selection options for projected atomic orbitals (PAOs), pair natural orbitals (PNOs), and triples natural orbitals (TNOs) in both Molpro and ORCA programs are described and compared. The PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12 method is applied to compute new reference energies for benchmark sets, showing promising accuracy and computational efficiency.

Summary: In this article, a series of explicitly correlated local correlation methods developed under the cluster-in-molecule (CIM) framework are presented. These methods allow F12 calculations of large molecules on a single node. The authors used these methods to investigate the relative stability between extended and folded alkane, the stability of different structures of polyglycine, and the binding energies of host-guest complexes. The results demonstrate the promising potential of combining CIM with F12 methods for studying large molecules.

Summary: To reduce computational expenses, several approximations were introduced and tested for the explicitly correlated coupled-cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) method. The approximations include the adaptation of frozen natural orbital (FNO) technique, employing the natural auxiliary function (NAF) scheme, and proposing the natural auxiliary basis (NAB) approximation. These approximations achieved significant speedups without losing accuracy, allowing for affordable computations of reaction energies for molecules with more than 40 atoms within a few days.

Summary: In this study, we introduce the transcorrelated electronic Hamiltonian in the optimization procedure for matrix product states using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm. We demonstrate that the transcorrelation improves the convergence rate to the complete basis set limit and present extensions to reduce the cost of handling the matrix product operator representation of the transcorrelated Hamiltonian.

Summary: The concept of post-complete-basis-set (pCBS) extrapolation is introduced in the study, showing that it yields nearly as accurate results as explicitly correlated CCSD(T)-F12 theory when calculating CCSD(T) correlation energy. The pCBS energies for the A24 test set share the same asymptote with an average error of 0.06 kcal mol(-1), indicating the accuracy of the theory itself. Overall, both canonical and F12 coupled cluster approaches can be considered to yield similar accuracy results when pCBS extrapolated from basis sets of formally similar rungs.

Summary: In this paper, a simple algorithm named autoCABS is presented for generating CABS basis sets. The results demonstrate that the autoCABS-generated CABS basis sets are comparable in quality to the purpose-optimized OptRI basis sets from the literature, and the quality difference becomes negligible as the basis set size increases.

Summary: This paper introduces an integration of the universal, perturbative explicitly correlated [2](R12)-correction within the framework of the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE). The approach significantly improves the accuracy of the reference method without requiring additional quantum resources. The combination of MRA-PNOs with [2](R12) is highlighted as particularly promising for accurate simulations at a minimal quantum cost.

Summary: In this work, a linear scaling explicitly correlated N-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2-F12) is developed to reduce the computational scaling of the conventional NEVPT2-F12 to near-linear scaling using the idea of a domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO). The excitation energies predicted by DLPNO-NEVPT2-F12 are as accurate as the exact NEVPT2-F12 results for low-lying excited states of organic molecules. The new algorithm is applied to study cluster models of rhodopsin and can handle systems with large basis functions and active spaces.

Summary: Chiral trans-hydrindanes are important building blocks of polycyclic natural products. The scope and limitation of [4+2] cycloadditions of tetrahydroindanones with various dienes were studied. Acid-catalysis and thermal conditions lead to the formation of diastereomers with opposite stereoselectivity. Quantum-chemical computations revealed the reaction mechanism and control.

Summary: A generalization of the hybrid scheme for multireference methods by Saitow and Yanai is presented, which constructs hybrid methods by defining internal and external excitation spaces and evaluating them at different levels of theory. New hybrids are derived and benchmarked, showing improvements in computational complexity and numerical accuracy compared to their non-hybrid parent method. The new separation of excitation space combining singles and doubles excitations into the external space is also tested and found effective.

Summary: Using two-body excitation operators with effective particle-hole excitation level of one leads to a accurate and compact representation of the wavefunction, surpassing the accuracy of expansions with three-body particle-hole excitations. However, generalized two-body operators with effective excitation rank zero have a considerably less pronounced effect. The approach matches or even surpasses the accuracy of standard and unitary coupled-cluster expansions, particularly at the onset of strong correlation, but it is rather difficult to rigorously converge to its variational minimum.

Summary: This article presents a new implementation of the internally contracted multireference coupled-cluster with singles and doubles (icMRCCSD) method. The new code utilizes an efficient tensor contraction kernel and avoids full four-external integral transformations, resulting in an expanded applicability of icMRCCSD. The implementation currently focuses on the simple case of two active electrons in two orbitals and supports the computation of spin-adapted doublet and triplet coupled-cluster wavefunctions.
