Abstract
An atomic-orbital reformulation of the Laplace-transformed scaled opposite-spin (SOS) coupled cluster singles and doubles (CC2) model within the resolution of the identity (RI) approximation (SOS-RI-CC2) is presented that extends its applicability to molecules with several hundreds of atoms and triple-zeta basis sets. We exploit sparse linear algebra and an attenuated Coulomb metric to decrease the disk space demands and the computational efforts. In this way, an effective sub-quadratic computational scaling is achieved with our ω-SOS-CDD-RI-CC2 model. Moreover, Cholesky decomposition of the ground-state one-electron density matrix reduces the prefactor, allowing for an early crossover with the molecular orbital formulation. The accuracy and performance of the presented method are investigated for various molecular systems.

Abstract
We present explicitly correlated open-shell pair natural orbital local coupled-cluster methods, PNO-RCCSD(T)-F12 and PNO-UCCSD(T)-F12. The methods are extensions of our previously reported PNO-R/UCCSD methods (J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2020, 16, 3135-3151, https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jctc.0c00192) with additions of explicit correlation and perturbative triples corrections. The explicit correlation treatment follows the spin-orbital CCSD-F12b theory using Ansatz 3*A, which is found to yield comparable or better basis set convergence than the more rigorous Ansatz 3C in computed ionization potentials and reaction energies using double- to quaduple-ζ basis sets. The perturbative triples correction is adapted from the spin-orbital (T) theory to use triples natural orbitals (TNOs). To address the coupling due to off-diagonal Fock matrix elements, the local triples amplitudes are iteratively solved using small domains of TNOs, and a semicanonical (T0) domain correction with larger domains is applied to reduce the domain errors. The performance of the methods is demonstrated through benchmark calculations on ionization potentials, radical stabilization energies, reaction energies of fragmentations and rearrangements in radical cations, and spin-state energy differences of iron complexes. For a few test sets where canonical calculations are feasible, PNO-RCCSD(T)-F12 results agree with the canonical ones to within 0.4 kcal mol-1, and this maximum error is reduced to below 0.2 kcal mol-1 when large local domains are used. For larger systems, results using different thresholds for the local approximations are compared to demonstrate that 1 kcal mol-1 level of accuracy can be achieved using our default settings. For a couple of difficult cases, it is demonstrated that the errors from individual approximations are only a fraction of 1 kcal mol-1, and the overall accuracy of the method does not rely on error compensations. In contrast to canonical calculations, the use of spin-orbitals does not lead to a significant increase of computational time and memory usage in the most expensive steps of PNO-R/UCCSD(T)-F12 calculations. The only exception is the iterative solution of the (T) amplitudes, which can be avoided without significant errors by using a perturbative treatment of the off-diagonal coupling, known as (T1) approximation. For most systems, even the semicanonical approximation (T0) leads only to small errors in relative energies. Our program is well parallelized and capable of computing accurate correlation energies for molecules with 100-200 atoms using augmented triple-ζ basis sets in less than a day of elapsed time on a small computer cluster.

Abstract
We present the results of a benchmark study of the effect of Pair Natural Orbital (PNO) truncation errors on the performance of basis set extrapolation. We find that reliable conclusions from the application of Helgaker's extrapolation method are only obtained when using tight PNO thresholds of at least 10-7. The use of looser thresholds introduces a significant risk of observing a false basis set convergence and underestimating the residual basis set errors. We propose an alternative extrapolation approach based on the PNO truncation level that only requires a single basis set and show that it is a viable alternative to hierarchical basis set extrapolation methods.

Abstract
We present well-parallelized local implementations of high-spin open-shell coupled cluster methods with single and double excitations (CCSD) using pair natural orbitals (PNOs). The methods are based on the spin-orbital coupled cluster theory using restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF) reference functions. Two variants, namely, PNO-UCCSD and PNO-RCCSD are implemented and compared. In PNO-UCCSD, the coupled cluster amplitudes are spin-unrestricted, while in PNO-RCCSD the linear terms are spin-adapted by a spin-projection approach as described in J. Chem. Phys. 1993, 99, 5219-5227. Near linear scaling of the computational cost with the number of correlated electrons is achieved by applying domain and pair approximations. The PNOs are spin-independent and obtained using a semicanonical spin-restricted MP2 approximation with large domains of projected atomic orbitals (PAOs). The pair approximations of our previously described closed-shell PNO-LCCSD method are carefully revised so that they are compatible to the UCCSD theory, and PNO-UCCSD or PNO-RCCSD calculations for closed-shell molecules yield exactly the same results as corresponding spin-free closed-shell PNO-LCCSD calculations. The convergence of the results with respect to the thresholds and options that control the domain and pair approximations is demonstrated. It is found that large domains are required for the single excitations in open-shell calculations in order to obtain converged results. In general, the errors of relative energies caused by the local approximations can be reduced to below 1 kcal mol-1, even for difficult cases. Presently, PNO-RCCSD and PNO-UCCSD calculations for molecules with 100-200 atoms and augmented triple-ζ basis sets can be carried out in a few hours of elapsed time using ∼100 CPU cores. In addition, the program is also capable of performing distinguishable cluster (PNO-RDCSD and PNO-UDCSC) calculations. The present work is a critical step in developing fully local open-shell PNO-RCCSD(T)-F12 methods.

Abstract
We present a (near) linear scaling implementation of high-spin open-shell Møller-Plesset perturbation theory using pair natural orbitals (PNO-RMP2). The theory is based on a new variant of open-shell MP2 which is fully spin-adapted and uses a single set of spin-free amplitudes, as in closed-shell MP2. This method, denoted SROMP2, is invariant to unitary orbital transformations within the closed, open, and virtual orbital subspaces. Accordingly, only a single set of PNOs per spatial orbital pair is needed, and the efficiency is similar to closed-shell calculations. The PNOs are obtained using a semicanonical approximation with large domains of projected atomic orbitals (PAOs). Linear scaling is achieved provided that the open-shell orbitals are local, and distant pairs are treated by multipole approximations. The method is efficiently parallelized. The convergence of ionization and reaction energies as a function of the PAO and PNO domain sizes is demonstrated and found to be very similar as for closed-shell calculations. The suitability of the PNOs for explicitly correlated PNO-RCCSD-F12 calculations is also tested. So far, this method is only simulated using a conventional program with appropriate projections to the PAO and PNO subspaces. It is demonstrated for radical stabilization energies as well as ionization potentials that the errors caused by the local domain approximations with our default thresholds are negligible.

Abstract
We present a systematic evaluation of the performance of a wide range of exchange-correlation functionals and related dispersion correction schemes for the computation of dipole moments of endohedral complexes, formed through the encapsulation of an AB molecule (AB = LiF, HCl) inside carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of different diameter. The consistency and accuracy of (i) generalized gradient approximation, (ii) meta GGA, (iii) global hybrid, and (iv) range-separated hybrid density functionals are assessed. In total, 37 density functionals are tested. The results obtained using the highly accurate pair natural orbitals based explicitly correlated local coupled cluster singles doubles (PNO-LCCSD-F12) method of Werner and co-workers [Schwilk et al., J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2017, 13, 3650; Ma et al., J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2017, 13, 4871] with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set serve as a reference. The static electric dipole moment is computed via the finite field response or, when possible, as the expectation value of the dipole operator. Among others, it is shown that functionals belonging to the class of range-separated hybrids, provide results closest to the coupled cluster reference data. In particular, the ωB97X as well as the M11 functional may be considered as a promising choice for computing electric properties of noncovalent endohedral complexes. On the other hand, the worst performance was found for the functionals which do not include the Hartree-Fock exchange. The analysis of both the coupled cluster and the DFT results indicates a strong coupling of dispersion and polarization that may also explain why lower level DFT methods, as well as Hartree-Fock and MP2, cannot yield dipole moments beyond a qualitative agreement with the higher order reference data. Interestingly, the much smaller and less systematically constructed basis sets of Pople of moderate size provide results of accuracy at least comparable with the extended Dunning's aug-cc-pVTZ basis set.

Abstract
Obtaining the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large matrices is a key problem in electronic structure theory and many other areas of computational science. The computational effort formally scales as O(N(3)) with the size of the investigated problem, N (e.g. the electron count in electronic structure theory), and thus often defines the system size limit that practical calculations cannot overcome. In many cases, more than just a small fraction of the possible eigenvalue/eigenvector pairs is needed, so that iterative solution strategies that focus only on a few eigenvalues become ineffective. Likewise, it is not always desirable or practical to circumvent the eigenvalue solution entirely. We here review some current developments regarding dense eigenvalue solvers and then focus on the Eigenvalue soLvers for Petascale Applications (ELPA) library, which facilitates the efficient algebraic solution of symmetric and Hermitian eigenvalue problems for dense matrices that have real-valued and complex-valued matrix entries, respectively, on parallel computer platforms. ELPA addresses standard as well as generalized eigenvalue problems, relying on the well documented matrix layout of the Scalable Linear Algebra PACKage (ScaLAPACK) library but replacing all actual parallel solution steps with subroutines of its own. For these steps, ELPA significantly outperforms the corresponding ScaLAPACK routines and proprietary libraries that implement the ScaLAPACK interface (e.g. Intel's MKL). The most time-critical step is the reduction of the matrix to tridiagonal form and the corresponding backtransformation of the eigenvectors. ELPA offers both a one-step tridiagonalization (successive Householder transformations) and a two-step transformation that is more efficient especially towards larger matrices and larger numbers of CPU cores. ELPA is based on the MPI standard, with an early hybrid MPI-OpenMPI implementation available as well. Scalability beyond 10,000 CPU cores for problem sizes arising in the field of electronic structure theory is demonstrated for current high-performance computer architectures such as Cray or Intel/Infiniband. For a matrix of dimension 260,000, scalability up to 295,000 CPU cores has been shown on BlueGene/P.

Abstract
Abstract
As a consequence of the ongoing development of enhanced computational resources, theoretical chemistry has become an increasingly valuable field for the investigation of a variety of chemical systems. Simulations employing a hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) molecular dynamics (MD) technique have been shown to be a particularly promising approach, whenever ultrafast (i.e., picosecond) dynamical properties are to be studied, which are in many cases difficult to access via experimental techniques. Details of the quantum mechanical charge field (QMCF) ansatz, an advanced QM/MM protocol, are discussed and simulation results for various systems ranging from simple ionic hydrates to solvated organic molecules and coordination complexes in solution are presented. A particularly challenging application is the description of proton-transfer reactions in chemical simulations, which is a prerequisite to study acidified and basic systems. The methodical requirements for a combination of the QMCF methodology with a dissociative potential model for the description of the solvent are discussed. Furthermore, the possible extension of QM/MM approaches to solid/liquid interfaces is outlined.

Abstract
In this article, we advance the foundations of a strategy to develop a molecular mechanics method based not on classical mechanics and force fields but entirely on quantum mechanics and localized electron-pair orbitals, which we call quantum molecular mechanics (QMM). Accordingly, we introduce a new manner of calculating Hartree-Fock ab initio wavefunctions of closed shell systems based on variationally preoptimized nonorthogonal electron pair orbitals constructed by linear combinations of basis functions centered on the atoms. QMM is noniterative and requires only one extremely fast inversion of a single sparse matrix to arrive to the one-particle density matrix, to the electron density, and consequently, to the ab initio electrostatic potential around the molecular system, or cluster of molecules. Although QMM neglects the smaller polarization effects due to intermolecular interactions, it fully takes into consideration polarization effects due to the much stronger intramolecular geometry distortions. For the case of methane, we show that QMM was able to reproduce satisfactorily the energetics and polarization effects of all distortions of the molecule along the nine normal modes of vibration, well beyond the harmonic region. We present the first practical applications of the QMM method by examining, in detail, the cases of clusters of helium atoms, hydrogen molecules, methane molecules, as well as one molecule of HeH(+) surrounded by several methane molecules. We finally advance and discuss the potentialities of an exact formula to compute the QMM total energy, in which only two center integrals are involved, provided that the fully optimized electron-pair orbitals are known.

Abstract
Linear-scaling methods, or O(N) methods, have computational and memory requirements which scale linearly with the number of atoms in the system, N, in contrast to standard approaches which scale with the cube of the number of atoms. These methods, which rely on the short-ranged nature of electronic structure, will allow accurate, ab initio simulations of systems of unprecedented size. The theory behind the locality of electronic structure is described and related to physical properties of systems to be modelled, along with a survey of recent developments in real-space methods which are important for efficient use of high-performance computers. The linear-scaling methods proposed to date can be divided into seven different areas, and the applicability, efficiency and advantages of the methods proposed in these areas are then discussed. The applications of linear-scaling methods, as well as the implementations available as computer programs, are considered. Finally, the prospects for and the challenges facing linear-scaling methods are discussed.
