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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
2019-01-11 19:10:12 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
|
To include excited state of all possible symmetries, a simple trick is 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\&.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
