\subsection{Hydrogen molecule}
\label{sec:H2}
%===============================
<<<<<<< HEAD
The second system of interest is the \ce{H2} molecule where we streched the bond. The ground state of the \ce{H2} molecule is a singlet with $(1\sigma_g)^2$ configuration. Three excited states were investigated during the streching: 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.
=======
Our second example deals with the dissociation of the \ce{H2} molecule.
The $\text{X}\,{}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ ground state of \ce{H2} has an electronic configuration $1\sigma_g^2$, and the lowest singlet excited state is of $\text{B}\,{}^1 \Sigma_u^+$ symmetry with a configuration $1\sigma_g 1\sigma_u$.
Of particular interest here are the two lowest singlet excited states of $\Sigma_g^+$ spatial symmetry: the singly excited $\text{E}\,{}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ with configuration $1\sigma_g 2\sigma_g$, and the doubly excited $\text{F}\,{}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ of configuration $1\sigma_u^2$ .
Because these two excited states interact strongly and form an avoided crossing around $R_{\ce{H-H}} = 1.4$ \AA, they are usually labeled as the $\text{EF}\,{}^1 \Sigma_g^+$ state.

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.
