Abstract
We derive equations of motion for bivariational wave functions with orthogonal adaptive basis sets and specialize the formalism to the coupled cluster Ansatz. The equations are related to the biorthogonal case in a transparent way, and similarities and differences are analyzed. We show that the amplitude equations are identical in the orthogonal and biorthogonal formalisms, while the linear equations that determine the basis set time evolution differ by symmetrization. Applying the orthogonal framework to the nuclear dynamics problem, we introduce and implement the orthogonal time-dependent modal vibrational coupled cluster (oTDMVCC) method and benchmark it against exact reference results for four triatomic molecules as well as a reduced-dimensional (5D) trans-bithiophene model. We confirm numerically that the biorthogonal TDMVCC hierarchy converges to the exact solution, while oTDMVCC does not. The differences between TDMVCC and oTDMVCC are found to be small for three of the five cases, but we also identify one case where the formal deficiency of the oTDMVCC approach results in clear and visible errors relative to the exact result. For the remaining example, oTDMVCC exhibits rather modest but visible errors.

Abstract
We present a numerical approach to magnetic optical rotation based on real-time time-dependent electronic-structure theory. Not relying on perturbation expansions in the magnetic field strength, the formulation allows us to test the range of validity of the linear relation between the rotation angle per unit path length and the magnetic field strength that was established empirically by Verdet 160 years ago. Results obtained from time-dependent coupled-cluster and time-dependent current density-functional theory are presented for the closed-shell molecules H2, HF, and CO in magnetic fields up to 55 kT at standard temperature and pressure conditions. We find that Verdet's linearity remains valid up to roughly 10-20 kT, above which significant deviations from linearity are observed. Among the three current density-functional approximations tested in this work, the current-dependent Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria hybrid functional performs the best in comparison with time-dependent coupled-cluster singles and doubles results for the magnetic optical rotation.

Abstract
Real-time simulations of laser-driven electron dynamics contain information about molecular optical properties through all orders in response theory. These properties can be extracted by assuming convergence of the power series expansion of induced electric and magnetic multipole moments. However, the accuracy relative to analytical results from response theory quickly deteriorates for higher-order responses due to the presence of high-frequency oscillations in the induced multipole moment in the time domain. This problem has been ascribed to missing higher-order corrections. We here demonstrate that the deviations are caused by nonadiabatic effects arising from the finite-time ramping from zero to full strength of the external laser field. Three different approaches, two using a ramped wave and one using a pulsed wave, for extracting electrical properties from real-time time-dependent electronic-structure simulations are investigated. The standard linear ramp is compared to a quadratic ramp, which is found to yield highly accurate results for polarizabilities, and first and second hyperpolarizabilities, at roughly half the computational cost. Results for the third hyperpolarizability are presented along with a simple, computable measure of reliability.
