It is possible to run excited states calculations with the quantum
|
|
|
|
|
|
package. To do this, set \fBdeterminants n_states\fP to the number
|
|
|
|
|
|
of requested states. The selection criterion will be the maximum of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
selection criteria for each state. If the Davidson diagonalization has
|
|
|
|
|
|
difficulties to converge, increase the \fBdavidson n_states_diag\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
value.

When computing multiple states, it is good to have the
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBdeterminants s2_eig\fP flag \fBtrue\fP\&. This will force the Davidson
|
|
|
|
|
|
algorithm to choose only vectors with a value of \ewidehat{S^2} equal to
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBdeterminants expected_s2\fP\&. Otherwise, different spin states
|
|
|
|
|
|
will come out in the diagonalization.

The \fIQuantum Package\fP doesn’t take account of the symmetry. Due to numerical noise,
|
|
|
|
|
|
excited states of different symmetries may enter in the calculation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that it is possible to make state\-average calculation of states
|
|
|
|
|
|
with different symmetries and/or different spin multiplicities.

To include excited states of all possible symmetries, a simple trick is
|
2019-01-25 14:54:22 +01:00
|
|
|
|
to run a preliminary multi\-state CIS calculation using the CIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
program, and then running the selected FCI restarting from the CIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
states, setting \fBdeterminants read_wf\fP to \fBtrue\fP\&.

Usually, it is good practice to use state\-averaged natural MOs so that
|
|
|
|
|
|
all states have MOs of comparable quality. This allows for a faster
|
|
|
|
|
|
convergence of excitation energies.
