\begin{abstract}
The cyclobutadiene molecule is a well-known playground for theoretical chemists and is particularly suitable to test ground- and excited-state methods.
Indeed, due to its high spatial symmetry, especially at the $D_{4h}$ square geometry but also at the $D_{2h}$ rectangular structure, the ground and excited states of cyclobutadiene exhibit multi-configurational characters and single-reference methods, such as adiabatic time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) or equation-of-motion coupled cluster (EOM-CC), are notoriously known to struggle in such situations.

In this work, using a large panel of methods and basis sets, we provide an extensive computational study of the autoisomerization barrier (defined as the difference between the square and rectangular ground-state energies) and the vertical excitation energies of the $D_{2h}$ and $D_{4h}$ arrangements.
In particular, selected configuration interaction (SCI), multi-reference perturbation theory (CASSCF, CASPT2, and NEVPT2), and coupled cluster (CCSD, CC3, CCSDT, CC4, and CCSDTQ) calculations are performed.
The spin-flip formalism, which is known to provide a correct description of states with multi-configurational character, is also tested within TD-DFT (where numerous exchange-correlation functionals are considered) and the algebraic diagrammatic construction [ADC(2)-s, ADC(2)-x, and ADC(3)].

Despite the fact that excited states are involved in ubiquitous processes such as photochemistry, \cite{Bernardi_1990,Bernardi_1996,Boggio-Pasqua_2007,Klessinger_1995,Olivucci_2010,Robb_2007,VanderLugt_1969} catalysis or in solar cell technology, \cite{Delgado_2010} none of the currently existing methods has shown to provide accurate excitation energies in all scenarios due to the complexity of the process, the size of the systems, environment effects and many other possible factors.
Indeed, each computational model has its own theoretical and/or technical limitations and the number of possible chemical scenario is so vast that the design of new excited-state methodologies is still a very active field of theoretical quantum chemistry.\cite{Roos_1996,Piecuch_2002,Dreuw_2005,Krylov_2006,Sneskov_2012,Gonzales_2012,Laurent_2013,Adamo_2013,Dreuw_2015,Ghosh_2018,Blase_2020,Loos_2020a,Hait_2021,Zobel_2021}

Speaking of difficult tasks, the cyclobutadiene (CBD) molecule has been a real challenge for experimental and theoretical chemistry for many decades. \cite{Bally_1980} Due to its antiaromaticity \cite{Minkin_1994} and large angular strain, \cite{Baeyer_1885} CBD presents a high reactivity which made its synthesis a particularly difficult exercise.
The simple H\"uckel molecular orbital theory (wrongly) predicts a triplet ground state at the {\Dfour} square geometry, with two singly-occupied frontier orbitals that are degenerate by symmetry (Hund's rule), while state-of-the-art \textit{ab initio} methods (correctly) predict an open-shell singlet ground state.

%All these specificities of CBD make it a real playground for excited-states methods.
The lowest-energy excited states of CBD in both geometries are represented in Fig.~\ref{fig:CBD}, where we have reported the {\oneAg} and {\tBoneg} states for the rectangular geometry and {\sBoneg} and {\Atwog} for the square one.

Due to the energy scale, the higher-energy states ({\sBoneg} and {\twoAg} for {\Dtwo} and {\Aoneg} and {\Btwog} for {\Dfour}) are not shown.
Interestingly, the {\twoAg} and {\Aoneg} states have a strong contribution from doubly-excited configurations and these so-called double excitations \cite{Loos_2019} are known to be an absolute nightmare for adiabatic time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) \cite{Runge_1984,Casida_1995,Tozer_2000,Maitra_2004,Cave_2004,Levine_2006,Elliott_2011,Maitra_2012,Maitra_2017} and even for state-of-the-art methods like the approximate third-order coupled-cluster (CC3) \cite{Christiansen_1995,Koch_1997} or equation-of-motion coupled-cluster with singles, doubles, and triples (EOM-CCSDT). \cite{Kucharski_1991,Kallay_2004,Hirata_2000,Hirata_2004}
In order to tackle the problem of multi-configurational character and double excitations, we have explored several routes.
The most evident way is to rely on multi-configurational methods, which are naturally designed to address such scenarios.
Among these methods, one can mention the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method, \cite{Roos_1996} its second-order perturbatively-corrected variant (CASPT2) \cite{Andersson_1990,Andersson_1992,Roos_1995a} and the second-order $n$-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2) formalism. \cite{Angeli_2001,Angeli_2001a,Angeli_2002}

The exponential scaling of the computational cost (with respect to the size of the active space) associated with these methods is the principal limitation to their applicability to large molecules.
Another way to deal with double excitations and multi-reference situations is to use high level truncation of the equation-of-motion (EOM) formalism \cite{Rowe_1968,Stanton_1993} of coupled-cluster (CC) theory. \cite{Kucharski_1991,Kallay_2003,Kallay_2004,Hirata_2000,Hirata_2004}

Again, due to the scaling of CC methods with the number of basis functions, their applicability is limited to small molecules.
Although multi-reference CC methods have been specifically designed for such purposes, \cite{Jeziorski_1981,Mahapatra_1998,Mahapatra_1999,Lyakh_2012,Kohn_2013} they are computationally demanding and still far from being black-box.
In this context, an interesting alternative to multi-configurational and CC methods is provided by selected CI (SCI) methods, \cite{Bender_1969,Whitten_1969,Huron_1973,Giner_2013,Evangelista_2014,Giner_2015,Caffarel_2016b,Holmes_2016,Tubman_2016,Liu_2016,Ohtsuka_2017,Zimmerman_2017,Coe_2018,Garniron_2018} which have proven, recently, to be able to provide near full CI (FCI) energies for small molecules for both ground- and excited-state energies. \cite{Caffarel_2014,Caffarel_2016a,Scemama_2016,Holmes_2017,Li_2018,Scemama_2018,Scemama_2018b,Li_2020,Loos_2018a,Chien_2018,Loos_2019,Loos_2020b,Loos_2020c,Loos_2020e,Garniron_2019,Eriksen_2020,Yao_2020,Williams_2020,Veril_2021,Loos_2021,Damour_2021}

For example, the \textit{Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection made Iteratively} (CIPSI) method limits the exponential increase of the size of the CI expansion by retaining the most energetically relevant determinants only, using a second-order energetic criterion to select perturbatively determinants in the FCI space. \cite{Huron_1973,Giner_2013,Giner_2015,Garniron_2017,Garniron_2018,Garniron_2019}
Nonetheless, SCI methods remain very expensive and can be applied to a limited number of situations.
Finally, another option to deal with these chemical scenarios is to rely on the cheaper spin-flip formalism, established by Krylov in 2001, \cite{Krylov_2001a,Krylov_2001b,Krylov_2002,Casanova_2020} where one accesses the ground and doubly-excited states via a single (spin-flip) excitation and deexcitation from the lowest triplet state, respectively.
Obviously, spin-flip methods have their own flaws, especially spin contamination (\ie, an artificial mixing of electronic states with different spin multiplicities) due principally to spin incompleteness in the spin-flip expansion but also to the spin contamination of the reference configuration. \cite{Casanova_2020}

One can address part of this issue by increasing the excitation order or by complementing the spin-incomplete configuration set with the missing configurations, \cite{Sears_2003,Casanova_2008,Huix-Rotllant_2010,Li_2010,Li_2011a,Li_2011b,Zhang_2015,Lee_2018}

Coupled-cluster theory provides a hierarchy of methods that yields increasingly accurate ground state energies by ramping up the maximum excitation degree of the cluster operator: \cite{Cizek_1966,Paldus_1972,Crawford_2000,Piecuch_2002b,Bartlett_2007,Shavitt_2009} CC with singles and doubles (CCSD), \cite{Cizek_1966,Purvis_1982} CC with singles, doubles, and triples (CCSDT), \cite{Noga_1987a,Scuseria_1988} CC with singles, doubles, triples, and quadruples (CCSDTQ), \cite{Oliphant_1991,Kucharski_1991a,Kucharski_1992} etc.
As mentioned above, CC theory can be extended to excited states via the EOM formalism, \cite{Rowe_1968,Stanton_1993} where one projects out the similarity-transformed Hamiltonian in a basis of excited determinants yielding the following systematically improvable family of methods for neutral excited states: EOM-CCSD, EOM-CCSDT, EOM-CCSDTQ, etc.\cite{Noga_1987,Koch_1990,Kucharski_1991,Stanton_1993,Christiansen_1998b,Kucharski_2001,Kowalski_2001,Kallay_2003,Kallay_2004,Hirata_2000,Hirata_2004}

In the following, we will omit the prefix EOM for the sake of conciseness.
Alternatively to the ``complete'' CC models, one can also employed the CC2, \cite{Christiansen_1995,Hattig_2000} CC3 \cite{Christiansen_1995,Koch_1995} and CC4 \cite{Kallay_2005,Matthews_2020,Loos_2021} methods which can be seen as cheaper approximations of CCSD, CCSDT, and CCSDTQ by skipping the most expensive terms and avoiding the storage of higher-excitations amplitudes.
Here, we have performed CC calculations using various codes.
Typically, CCSD, CCSDT, and CCSDTQ as well as CC3 and CC4 calculations are achieved with CFOUR. \cite{Matthews_2020}
In some case, we have also computed CC3 energies and properties with DALTON.\cite{Aidas_2014}

For each excited state, a set of state-averaged orbitals is computed by taking into account the excited state of interest as well as the ground state (even if it has a different symmetry).

For ionic states, like the {\sBoneg} state of CBD, it is particularly important to take into account the $\sigma$-$\pi$ coupling.
