The standard and extended spin-flip ADC(2) calculations [SF-ADC(2)-s and SF-ADC(2)-x, respectively] as well as the SF-ADC(3) \cite{Lefrancois_2015} are performed with Q-CHEM 5.2.1. \cite{qchem4} The SF-ADC, EOM-SF-CC and SF-TD-DFT calculations have been performed with Q-CHEM 5.2.1 \cite{qchem4} and the EOM-CCSD calculation with Gaussian 09. \cite{g09}

The second system of interest is the \ce{H2} molecule where we stretch the bond. The ground state of the \ce{H2} molecule is a singlet with $(1\sigma_g)^2$ configuration. Three excited states are investigated during the stretching: the singly excited state B${}^1 \Sigma_u^+$ with $(1\sigma_g )~ (1\sigma_u)$ configuration, the singly excited state E${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ with $(1\sigma_g )~ (2\sigma_g)$ configuration and the doubly excited state F${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ with $(1\sigma_u )~ (1\sigma_u)$ configuration. Three methods with and without spin-flip are used to study these states. These methods are CIS, TD-BHHLYP and BSE and are compared to the reference, here the EOM-CCSD method. %that is equivalent to the FCI for the \ce{H2} molecule.

Fig ~\ref{fig:H2_CIS} shows results of the CIS calculation with and without spin-flip. We can observe that both SF-CIS and CIS poorly describe the B${}^1 \Sigma_u^+$ state, especially at the dissociation limit. EOM-CSSD curves show us an avoided crossing between the E${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ and F${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ states due to their same symmetry. SF-CIS does not represent well the E${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ state before the avoided crossing and the F${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ state after the avoided crossing. SF-CIS does not give a good description of the double excitation. Left panel of Fig ~\ref{fig:H2} shows results of the CIS calculation with and without spin-flip.

SF-CIS does not represent well the E${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ state before the avoided crossing and the F${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ state after the avoided crossing. But the E${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ state is well describe after this avoided crossing and the F${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ state is well describe before the avoided crossing. SF-CIS does not give a good description of the double excitation. The rigth panel gives results of the TD-BHHLYP calculation with and without spin-flip. TD-BHHLYP shows bad results for all the states of interest. In the last panel we have results for BSE calculation with and without spin-flip. SF-BSE gives a good representation of the B${}^1 \Sigma_u^+$ state with error of 0.05-0.3 eV. However SF-BSE does not describe well the E${}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ state with error of 0.5-1.6 eV.
