Abstract
We present an efficient, open-source formulation for coupled-cluster theory through perturbative triples with domain-based local pair natural orbitals [DLPNO-CCSD(T)]. Similar to the implementation of the DLPNO-CCSD(T) method found in the ORCA package, the most expensive integral generation and contraction steps associated with the CCSD(T) method are linear-scaling. In this work, we show that the t1-transformed Hamiltonian allows for a less complex algorithm when evaluating the local CCSD(T) energy without compromising efficiency or accuracy. Our algorithm yields sub-kJ mol-1 deviations for relative energies when compared with canonical CCSD(T), with typical errors being on the order of 0.1 kcal mol-1, using our TightPNO parameters. We extensively tested and optimized our algorithm and parameters for non-covalent interactions, which have been the most difficult interaction to model for orbital (PNO)-based methods historically. To highlight the capabilities of our code, we tested it on large water clusters, as well as insulin (787 atoms).

Abstract
The natural auxiliary function (NAF) approach is an approximation to decrease the size of the auxiliary basis set required for quantum chemical calculations utilizing the density fitting technique. It has been proven efficient to speed up various correlation models, such as second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) theory and coupled-cluster methods. Here, for the first time, we discuss the theory of analytic derivatives for correlation methods employing the NAF approximation on the example of MP2. A detailed algorithm for the gradient calculation with the NAF approximation is proposed in the framework of the method of Lagrange multipliers. To assess the effect of the NAF approximation on gradients and optimized geometric parameters, a series of benchmark calculations on small and medium-sized systems was performed. Our results demonstrate that, for MP2, sufficiently accurate gradients and geometries can be achieved with a moderate time reduction of 15-20% for both small and medium-sized molecules.

Abstract
Computational chemistry is an indispensable tool for understanding molecules and predicting chemical properties. However, traditional computational methods face significant challenges due to the difficulty of solving the Schrödinger equations and the increasing computational cost with the size of the molecular system. In response, there has been a surge of interest in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques to in silico experiments. Integrating AI and ML into computational chemistry increases the scalability and speed of the exploration of chemical space. However, challenges remain, particularly regarding the reproducibility and transferability of ML models. This review highlights the evolution of ML in learning from, complementing, or replacing traditional computational chemistry for energy and property predictions. Starting from models trained entirely on numerical data, a journey set forth toward the ideal model incorporating or learning the physical laws of quantum mechanics. This paper also reviews existing computational methods and ML models and their intertwining, outlines a roadmap for future research, and identifies areas for improvement and innovation. Ultimately, the goal is to develop AI architectures capable of predicting accurate and transferable solutions to the Schrödinger equation, thereby revolutionizing in silico experiments within chemistry and materials science.

Abstract
Organometallic species, such as organoferrate ions, are prototypical nucleophiles prone to reacting with a wide range of electrophiles, including proton donors. In solution, the operation of dynamic equilibria and the simultaneous presence of several organometallic species severely complicate the analysis of these fundamentally important reactions. This can be overcome by gas-phase experiments on mass-selected ions, which allow for the determination of the microscopic reactivity of the target species. In this contribution, we focus on the reactivity of a series of trisarylferrate complexes toward 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and 2,2-difluoroethanol. By means of mass-spectrometric measurements, we determined the experimental bimolecular rate constants kexp of the gas-phase protolysis reactions of the trisarylferrate anions FePh3- and FeMes3- with the aforementioned acids. Based on these experiments, we carried out a dual blind challenge, inviting theoretical groups to submit their best predictions for the activation barriers and/or theoretical rate constants ktheo. This provides a unique opportunity to evaluate different computational protocols under minimal bias and sets the stage for further benchmarking of quantum chemical methods and data-driven approaches in the future.

Abstract
Quantum computing is emerging as a new computational paradigm with the potential to transform several research fields including quantum chemistry. However, current hardware limitations (including limited coherence times, gate infidelities, and connectivity) hamper the implementation of most quantum algorithms and call for more noise-resilient solutions. We propose an explicitly correlated Ansatz based on the transcorrelated (TC) approach to target these major roadblocks directly. This method transfers, without any approximation, correlations from the wave function directly into the Hamiltonian, thus reducing the resources needed to achieve accurate results with noisy quantum devices. We show that the TC approach allows for shallower circuits and improves the convergence toward the complete basis set limit, providing energies within chemical accuracy to experiment with smaller basis sets and, thus, fewer qubits. We demonstrate our method by computing bond lengths, dissociation energies, and vibrational frequencies close to experimental results for the hydrogen dimer and lithium hydride using two and four qubits, respectively. To demonstrate our approach's current and near-term potential, we perform hardware experiments, where our results confirm that the TC method paves the way toward accurate quantum chemistry calculations already on today's quantum hardware.

Abstract
We present an efficient analytical energy gradient algorithm for the cluster-in-molecule resolution-of-identity second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation (CIM-RI-MP2) method based on the Lagrange multiplier method. Our algorithm independently constructs the Lagrangian formalism within each cluster, avoiding the solution of the coupled-perturbed Hartree-Fock (CPHF) equation for the whole system. Due to this feature, the computational cost of the CIM-RI-MP2 gradients is much lower than that of other local MP2 algorithms. Benchmark calculations of several molecules containing up to 312 atoms demonstrate the general applicability of our CIM-RI-MP2 gradient algorithm. The optimized structure of a 244-atom molecule using the CIM-RI-MP2 method with the cc-pVDZ basis set is in good agreement with the corresponding crystal structure. A single-point gradient calculation conducted for a molecular cage containing 972 atoms and 9612 basis functions takes 48 h on 25 nodes, utilizing a total of 600 CPU cores. The present CIM-RI-MP2 gradient program is applicable for obtaining the optimized geometries of large systems with hundreds of atoms.

Abstract
The elements of the p-block of the periodic table are of high interest in various chemical and technical applications like frustrated Lewis-pairs (FLP) or opto-electronics. However, high-quality benchmark data to assess approximate density functional theory (DFT) for their theoretical description are sparse. In this work, we present a benchmark set of 604 dimerization energies of 302 "inorganic benzenes" composed of all non-carbon p-block elements of main groups III to VI up to polonium. This so-called IHD302 test set comprises two classes of structures formed by covalent bonding and by weaker donor-acceptor (WDA) interactions, respectively. Generating reliable reference data with ab initio methods is challenging due to large electron correlation contributions, core-valence correlation effects, and especially the slow basis set convergence. To compute reference values for these dimerization reactions, after thorough testing, we applied a computational protocol using state-of-the-art explicitly correlated local coupled cluster theory termed PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12/cc-VTZ-PP-F12(corr.). It includes a basis set correction at the PNO-LMP2-F12/aug-cc-pwCVTZ level. Based on these reference data, we assess 26 DFT methods in combination with three different dispersion corrections and the def2-QZVPP basis set, five composite DFT approaches, and five semi-empirical quantum mechanical methods. For the covalent dimerizations, the r2SCAN-D4 meta-GGA, the r2SCAN0-D4 and ωB97M-V hybrids, and the revDSD-PBEP86-D4 double-hybrid functional are found to be the best-performing methods among the evaluated functionals of the respective class. However, since def2 basis sets for the 4th period are not associated to relativistic pseudo-potentials, we obtained significant errors in the covalent dimerization energies (up to 6 kcal mol-1) for molecules containing p-block elements of the 4th period. Significant improvements were achieved for systems containing 4th row elements by using ECP10MDF pseudopotentials along with re-contracted aug-cc-pVQZ-PP-KS basis sets introduced in this work with the contraction coefficients taken from atomic DFT (PBE0) calculations. Overall, the IHD302 set represents a challenge to contemporary quantum chemical methods. This is due to a large number of spatially close p-element bonds which are underrepresented in other benchmark sets, and the partial covalent bonding character for the WDA interactions. The IHD302 set may be helpful to develop more robust and transferable approximate quantum chemical methods in the future.

Abstract
A novel incremental scheme is presented including an incremental expansion of the virtual space for the calculation of electron correlation energies, which is compatible with any size-extensive correlation method and scales asymptotically linear for large molecules. The performance is studied for organic molecules, water clusters, and a La(III)-water complex, where the compatibility with pseudopotentials is also examined. The computational requirements are already reduced tremendously for medium-sized water clusters and hydrocarbons with respect to the canonical CCSD as well as the ordinary incremental scheme references. Correlation energies within chemical accuracy have been observed for all studied systems. The novelty of the method is that relatively small virtual spaces are used in combination with tuples of localized occupied spaces. The corresponding orthonormal occupied and virtual orbitals are obtained from QM/QM embedding calculations and can thus be used with standard quantum chemistry codes for correlation calculations. It is presented how relevant virtual spaces are selected and the correlation energies are linked in the new virtual space expansion.

Abstract
Computation of heats of reaction of large molecules is now feasible using the domain-based pair natural orbital (PNO)-coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] theory. However, to obtain agreement within 1 kcal/mol of experiment, it is necessary to eliminate basis set incompleteness error, which comprises both the AO basis set error and the PNO truncation error. Our investigation into the convergence to the canonical limit of PNO-CCSD(T) energies with the PNO truncation threshold T shows that errors follow the model E ( T ) = E + A T 1 / 2 . Therefore, PNO truncation errors can be eliminated using a simple two-point CPS extrapolation to the canonical limit so that subsequent CBS extrapolation is not limited by the residual PNO truncation error. Using the ISOL24 and MOBH35 data sets, we find that PNO truncation errors are larger for molecules with significant static correlation and that it is necessary to use very tight thresholds of T = 10 - 8 to ensure that errors do not exceed 1 kcal/mol. We present a lower-cost extrapolation scheme that uses information from small basis sets to estimate the PNO truncation errors for larger basis sets. In this way, the canonical limit of CCSD(T) calculations on sizable molecules with large basis sets can be reliably estimated in a practical way. Using this approach, we report near complete basis set (CBS)-CCSD(T) reaction energies for the full ISOL24 and MOBH35 data sets.

Abstract
We develop a local correlation variant of auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) based on local natural orbitals (LNO-AFQMC). In LNO-AFQMC, independent AFQMC calculations are performed for each localized occupied orbital using a truncated set of tailored orbitals. Because the size of this space does not grow with the system size for a target accuracy, the method has linear scaling. Applying LNO-AFQMC to molecular problems containing a few hundred to a thousand orbitals, we demonstrate convergence of total energies with significantly reduced costs. The savings are more significant for larger systems and larger basis sets. However, even for our smallest system studied, we find that LNO-AFQMC is cheaper than canonical AFQMC, in contrast with many other reduced-scaling methods. Perhaps most significantly, we show that energy differences converge much more quickly than total energies, making the method ideal for applications in chemistry and material science. Our work paves the way for linear scaling AFQMC calculations of strongly correlated systems, which would have a transformative effect on ab initio quantum chemistry.

Abstract
The simulation of nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) is crucial for an accurate description of systems and processes involving light nuclei, such as hydrogen atoms. Within the last years, the importance of those effects has been highlighted for a vast range of systems with tremendous implications in chemistry, biology, physics, and materials sciences. However, while electronic structure theory methods have become routine tools for quantum chemical investigations, there is still a lack of approaches to address NQEs that are computationally accessible and straightforward to use. To address this, we present the first combination of the nuclear-electronic orbital Hartree-Fock approach with both local and density fitting approximations (LDF-NEO-HF). This results in a low-order scaling approach that enables the inclusion of NQEs for large systems within a fraction of a day and for small to medium size systems in minutes. Moreover, we demonstrate the qualitative accuracy and robustness of our approach to retrieve NQEs for three real-use cases motivated by chemical, biological, and materials science applications.

Abstract
In this article, we present a series of explicitly correlated local correlation methods developed under the cluster-in-molecule (CIM) framework, including explicitly correlated second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation (MP2), coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD), domain-based local pair natural orbital CCSD (DLPNO-CCSD), and DLPNO-CCSD with perturbative triples (DLPNO-CCSD(T)). In these methods, F12 correction is decomposed into contributions from each occupied local molecular orbital and then evaluated independently in a given cluster, which consists of a subset of localized orbitals. These newly developed methods allow F12 calculations of large molecules (up to 145 atoms for quasi-one-dimensional systems) on a single node. We use these methods to investigate the relative stability between extended and folded alkane C30H62, the relative stability of four secondary structures of a polyglycine Ace(Gly)10NH2, and the binding energies of two host-guest complexes. The results demonstrate that the combination of CIM with F12 methods is a promising way to investigate large molecules with small basis set errors.

Abstract
It has long been clear that electron correlation methods exhibit unphysical compute scalings with molecular size, which has motivated the development of local correlation methods to discard effectively zero contributions in a controlled way to yield an approximate correlation energy. The ideal local correlation method should have a single numerical threshold that controls the dropping of terms with the ability to have that threshold set small enough so that the correlation energy is reproduced to enough significant figures such that the result is chemically identical. This work reports such a method for the second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) theory. The theory, implementation, and testing of this local MP2 theory are reported. Thresholds ranging from 10-5 to 10-8 and basis sets ranging from split valence plus polarization through to quadruple-ζ are assessed for local MP2 calculations on a range of molecules, including linear chains and molecules with two- and three-dimensional character. The implementation is shared memory parallel via OpenMP and yields roughly 50% parallel efficiency with 16 cores for a large job. Considerable efforts were made to minimize memory demands, which increased as thresholds were tightened. A variety of relative energy calculations are presented as a function of threshold to provide some guidance to users on how to obtain adequate precision at a low compute cost. It is particularly clear that derivative properties require tighter thresholds in order to achieve an adequate precision.

Abstract
An overview of the approximations in the explicitly correlated local coupled cluster methods PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12 in Molpro and DLPNO-CCSD(T)F12 in ORCA is given. Options to select the domains of projected atomic orbitals (PAOs), pair natural orbitals (PNOs), and triples natural orbitals (TNOs) in both programs are described and compared in detail. The two programs are applied to compute isomerization and conformational energies of the ISOL24 and ACONFL test sets, where the former is part of the GMTKN55 benchmark suite. Thorough studies of basis set effects are presented for selected systems. These revealed large intramolecular basis set superposition effects that make it practically impossible to reliably determine the complete basis set (CBS) limits without including explicitly correlated terms. The latter strongly reduce the basis set dependence and at the same time also errors caused by the local domain approximations. On the basis of these studies, the PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12 method is applied to determine new reference energies for the above-mentioned benchmark sets. We are confident that our results should agree within a few tenths of a kcal mol-1 with the (unknown) CCSD(T)/CBS values, which therefore allowed us to define computational settings for accurate explicitly correlated local coupled cluster methods with moderate computational effort. With these protocols, especially PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12b/AVTZ', reliable reference values for comprehensive benchmark sets can be generated efficiently. This can significantly advance the development and evaluation of the performance of approximate electronic structure methods, especially improved density functional approximations or machine learning approaches.

Abstract
Real-time coupled cluster (CC) methods have several advantages over their frequency-domain counterparts, namely, response and equation of motion CC theories. Broadband spectra, strong fields, and pulse manipulation allow for the simulation of complex spectroscopies that are unreachable using frequency-domain approaches. Due to the high-order polynomial scaling, the required numerical time propagation of the CC residual expressions is a computationally demanding process. This scaling may be reduced by local correlation schemes, which aim to reduce the size of the (virtual) orbital space by truncation according to user-defined parameters. We present the first application of local correlation to real-time CC. As in previous studies of locally correlated frequency-domain CC, traditional local correlation schemes are of limited utility for field-dependent properties; however, a perturbation-aware scheme proves promising. A detailed analysis of the amplitude dynamics suggests that the main challenge is a strong time dependence of the wave function sparsity.

Abstract
CONTEXT Curcumin is a popular food additive around the world whose medicinal properties have been known since ancient times. The literature has recently highlighted several biological properties, but besides the health-related usages, its natural yellowish color may also be helpful for light-harvesting applications. This research aims to close a knowledge gap regarding the photophysical description of curcumin and its metallic complexes. METHODS We conducted benchmark experiments comparing NEVPT calculations with several DFT functionals (B3LYP, M06-L, M06-2X, CAM-B3LYP, and ωB97X-D) for describing the UV spectra of curcumin and its metallo-derivative, curcumin-copper(II). Once we determined the most suitable functional, we performed tests with different basis sets and conditions, such as solvation and redox state, to identify their impact on excited state properties. These results are also reported for the curcumin-zinc(II) derivative. We found that the accuracy of DFT functionals depends strongly on the nature of curcumin's excitations. Intra-ligand transitions dominate the absorption spectra of the complexes. Curcumin absorption is marginally affected by solvation and chelation, but when combined with redox processes, they may result in significant modifications. This is because copper cation changes its coordination geometry in response to redox conditions, changing the spectrum. We found that, compared to a NEVPT reference, B3LYP is the best functional for a general description of the compounds, despite not being appropriate for charge transfer transitions. M06-L was the best for LMCT transitions. However, compared with NEVPT2 and PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12 results, no functional achieved acceptable accuracy for MLCT transitions.

Abstract
We developed and implemented a method-independent, fully numerical, finite difference approach to calculating nuclear magnetic resonance shieldings, using gauge-including atomic orbitals. The resulting capability can be used to explore non-standard methods, given only the energy as a function of finite-applied magnetic fields and nuclear spins. For example, standard second-order Møller-Plesset theory (MP2) has well-known efficacy for 1H and 13C shieldings and known limitations for other nuclei such as 15N and 17O. It is, therefore, interesting to seek methods that offer good accuracy for 15N and 17O shieldings without greatly increased compute costs, as well as exploring whether such methods can further improve 1H and 13C shieldings. Using a small molecule test set of 28 species, we assessed two alternatives: κ regularized MP2 (κ-MP2), which provides energy-dependent damping of large amplitudes, and MP2.X, which includes a variable fraction, X, of third-order correlation (MP3). The aug-cc-pVTZ basis was used, and coupled cluster with singles and doubles and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] results were taken as reference values. Our κ-MP2 results reveal significant improvements over MP2 for 13C and 15N, with the optimal κ value being element-specific. κ-MP2 with κ = 2 offers a 30% rms error reduction over MP2. For 15N, κ-MP2 with κ = 1.1 provides a 90% error reduction vs MP2 and a 60% error reduction vs CCSD. On the other hand, MP2.X with a scaling factor of 0.6 outperformed CCSD for all heavy nuclei. These results can be understood as providing renormalization of doubles amplitudes to partially account for neglected triple and higher substitutions and offer promising opportunities for future applications.

Abstract
Pair atomic density fitting (PADF) has been identified as a promising strategy to reduce the scaling with system size of quantum chemical methods for the calculation of the correlation energy like the direct random-phase approximation (RPA) or second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). PADF can however introduce large errors in correlation energies as the two-electron interaction energy is not guaranteed to be bounded from below. This issue can be partially alleviated by using very large fit sets, but this comes at the price of reduced efficiency and having to deal with near-linear dependencies in the fit set. One posibility is to use global density fitting (DF), but in this work, we introduce an alternative methodology to overcome this problem that preserves the intrinsically favorable scaling of PADF. We first regularize the Fock matrix by projecting out parts of the basis set which gives rise to orbital products that are hard to describe by PADF. After having thus obtained a reliable self-consistent field solution, we then also apply this projector to the orbital coefficient matrix to improve the precision of PADF-MP2 and PADF-RPA. We systematically assess the accuracy of this new approach in a numerical atomic orbital framework using Slater type orbitals (STO) and correlation consistent Gaussian type basis sets up to quintuple-ζ quality for systems with more than 200 atoms. For the small and medium systems in the S66 database we show the maximum deviation of PADF-MP2 and PADF-RPA relative correlation energies to DF-MP2 and DF-RPA reference results to be 0.07 and 0.14 kcal/mol, respectively. When the new projector method is used, the errors only slightly increase for large molecules and also when moderately sized fit sets are used the resulting errors are well under control. Finally, we demonstrate the computational efficiency of our algorithm by calculating the interaction energies of large, non-covalently bound complexes with more than 1000 atoms and 20000 atomic orbitals at the RPA@PBE/CC-pVTZ level of theory.

Abstract
Utilizing localized orbitals, local correlation theory can reduce the unphysically high system-size scaling of post-Hartree-Fock (post-HF) methods to linear scaling in insulating molecules. The sparsity of the four-index electron repulsion integral (ERI) tensor is central to achieving this reduction. For second-order Møller-Plesset theory (MP2), one of the simplest post-HF methods, only the (ia|jb) ERIs are needed, coupling occupied orbitals i, j and virtuals a, b. In this paper, we compare the numerical sparsity (called the "ragged list") and two other approaches revealing the low-rank sparsity of the ERI. The ragged list requires only one set of (localized) virtual orbitals, and we find that the orthogonal valence virtual-hard virtual set of virtuals originally proposed by Subotnik et al. gives the sparsest ERI tensor. To further compress the ERI tensor, the pair natural orbital (PNO) type representation uses different sets of virtual orbitals for different occupied orbital pairs, while the occupied-specific virtual (OSV) approach uses different virtuals for each occupied orbital. Our results indicate that while the low-rank PNO representation achieves significant rank reduction, it also requires more memory than the ragged list. The OSV approach requires similar memory to that of the ragged list, but it involves greater algorithmic complexity. An approximation (called the "fixed sparsity pattern") for solving the local MP2 equations using the numerically sparse ERI tensor is proposed and tested to be sufficiently accurate and to have highly controllable error. A low-scaling local MP2 algorithm based on the ragged list and the fixed sparsity pattern is therefore promising.

Abstract
The cluster-in-molecule (CIM) method was extended to systems with periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) in a previous work (PBC-CIM) [J. Chem. Theory Comput.2019, 15, 2933], which is able to compute the electronic structures of periodic systems at second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) levels. However, the high computational costs of CCSD with respect to the size of clusters limit the usage of PBC-CIM to crystals with small or medium unit cells. In this work, we further develop the PBC-CIM method by employing the domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO) methods for the electron correlation calculations of clusters to reduce the computational costs. The combined approach allows CCSD with perturbative triples, denoted as CCSD(T), to be computationally available for accurate descriptions of periodic systems. The distant-pair correction is also implemented to improve the accuracy of PBC-CIM. As in the molecular cases, the distant pair correction significantly improves the accuracy of various PBC-CIM methods with few additional costs. The PBC-CIM-DLPNO-CCSD(T) approach has been applied to investigate the optimized lattice parameter of the cubic LiCl crystal and two adsorption problems (CO on the NaCl(100) surface and H2O on the h-BN surface). The results show that the CIM-DLPNO-CCSD(T) method offers accurate and efficient descriptions for the studied systems. Another application to the cohesive energy of the acetic acid crystal reveals that large basis sets are necessary for reliable calculations on the cohesive energies of molecular crystals.

Abstract
The multireference second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) is known to deliver a quantitative description of various complex electronic states. Despite its near-size-consistent nature, the applicability of the CASPT2 method to large, real-life systems is mostly hindered by large computational and storage costs for the two-external tensors, such as two-electron integrals, amplitudes, and residuum. To this end, Menezes and co-workers developed a reduced-scaling CASPT2 scheme by incorporating the local pair-natural orbital (PNO) representation of the many-body wave functions using non-orthonormal projected atomic orbitals (PAOs) into the CASPT theory [F. Menezes et al., J. Chem. Phys. 145, 124115 (2016)]. Alternatively, in this paper, we develop a new PNO-based CASPT2 scheme using the orthonormal localized virtual molecular orbitals (LVMOs) and assess its performance and accuracy in comparison with the conventional PAO-based counterpart. Albeit the compactness, the LVMOs were considered to perform somewhat poorly compared to PAOs in the local correlation framework because they caused enormously large orbital domains. In this work, we show that the size of LVMO domains can be rendered comparable to or even smaller than that of PAOs by the use of the differential overlap integrals for domain construction. Optimality of the MOs from the CASSCF treatment is a key to reducing the LVMO domain size for the multireference case. Due to the augmented Hessian-based localization algorithm, an additional computational cost for obtaining the LVMOs is relatively minor. We demonstrate that the LVMO-based PNO-CASPT2 method is routinely applicable to large, real-life molecules such as Menshutkin SN2 reaction in a single-walled carbon nanotube reaction field.

Abstract
We present a many-body expansion (MBE) formulation and implementation for efficient computation of analytical energy gradients from the orbital-specific-virtual second-order Møllet-Plesset perturbation theory (OSV-MP2) based on our earlier work (Zhou et al. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2020, 16, 196-210). The third-order MBE(3) expansion of OSV-MP2 amplitudes and density matrices was developed to adopt the orbital-specific clustering and long-range termination schemes, which avoids term-by-term differentiations of the MBE energy bodies. We achieve better efficiency by exploiting the algorithmic sparsity that allows us to prune out insignificant fitting integrals and OSV relaxations. With these approximations, the present implementation is benchmarked on a range of molecules that show an economic scaling in the linear and quadratic regimes for computing MBE(3)-OSV-MP2 amplitude and gradient equations, respectively, and yields normal accuracy comparable to the original OSV-MP2 results. The MPI-3-based parallelism through shared memory one-sided communication is further developed for improving parallel scalability and memory accessibility by sorting the MBE(3) orbital clusters into independent tasks that are distributed on multiple processes across many nodes, supporting both global and local data locations in which selected MBE(3)-OSV-MP2 intermediates of different sizes are distinguished and accordingly placed. The accuracy and efficiency level of our MBE(3)-OSV-MP2 analytical gradient implementation is finally illustrated in two applications: we show that the subtle coordination structure differences of mechanically interlocked Cu-catenane complexes can be distinguished when tuning ligand lengths; and the porphycene molecular dynamics reveals the emergence of the vibrational signature arising from softened N-H stretching associated with hydrogen transfer, using an MP2 level of electron correlation and classical nuclei for the first time.

Abstract
We present a natural orbital-based implementation of the intermediate Hamiltonian Fock space coupled-cluster method for the (1, 1) sector of Fock space. The use of natural orbitals significantly reduces the computational cost and can automatically choose an appropriate set of active orbitals. The new method retains the charge transfer separability of the original intermediate Hamiltonian Fock space coupled-cluster method and gives excellent performance for valence, Rydberg, and charge-transfer excited states. It offers significant computational advantages over the popular equation of motion coupled cluster method for excited states dominated by single excitations.

Abstract
We present a derivation and efficient implementation of the formally complete analytic second derivatives for the domain-based local pair natural orbital second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) method, applicable to electric or magnetic field-response properties but not yet to harmonic frequencies. We also discuss the occurrence and avoidance of numerical instability issues related to singular linear equation systems and near linear dependences in the projected atomic orbital domains. A series of benchmark calculations on medium-sized systems is performed to assess the effect of the local approximation on calculated nuclear magnetic resonance shieldings and the static dipole polarizabilities. Relative deviations from the resolution of the identity-based MP2 (RI-MP2) reference for both properties are below 0.5% with the default truncation thresholds. For large systems, our implementation achieves quadratic effective scaling, is more efficient than RI-MP2 starting at 280 correlated electrons, and is never more than 5-20 times slower than the equivalent Hartree-Fock property calculation. The largest calculation performed here was on the vancomycin molecule with 176 atoms, 542 correlated electrons, and 4700 basis functions and took 3.3 days on 12 central processing unit cores.

Abstract
In the linear‐scaling divide‐and‐conquer (DC) electronic structure method, each subsystem is calculated together with the neighboring buffer region, the size of which affects the energy error introduced by the fragmentation in the DC method. The DC self‐consistent field calculation utilizes a scheme to automatically determine the appropriate buffer region that is as compact as possible for reducing the computational time while maintaining acceptable accuracy (J. Comput. Chem. 2018, 39, 909). To extend the automatic determination scheme of the buffer region to the DC second‐order Møller–Plesset perturbation (MP2) calculation, a scheme for estimating the subsystem MP2 correlation energy contribution from each atom in the buffer region is proposed. The estimation is based on the atomic orbital Laplace MP2 formalism. Based on this, an automatic buffer determination scheme for the DC‐MP2 calculation is constructed and its performance for several types of systems is assessed.

Abstract
The cluster-in-molecule (CIM) local correlation approach with an accurate distant pair correlation energy correction is presented. For large systems, the inclusion of distant pair correlation energies is essential for the accurate prediction of absolute correlation energies and relative energies. Here, we propose a simple and efficient scheme for evaluating the distant pair correlation energy correction for the CIM approaches. The corrections can be readily extracted from electron correlation calculations of clusters with almost no additional effort. Benchmark calculations show that the improved CIM approach can recover more than 99.94% of the correlation energy calculated by the parent method. By combining the CIM approach with the domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO) local correlation approach, we have provided accurate binding energies at the CIM-DLPNO-CCSD(T) level for a test set consisting of eight weakly bound complexes ranging in size from 200 to 1027 atoms. With these results as the reference data, the accuracy and applicability of other electron correlation methods and a few density functional methods for large systems have been assessed.

Abstract
We present a basis-set-free approach to the variational quantum eigensolver using an adaptive representation of the spatial part of molecular wave functions. Our approach directly determines system-specific representations of qubit Hamiltonians while fully omitting globally defined basis sets. In this work, we use directly determined pair-natural orbitals on the level of second-order perturbation theory. This results in compact qubit Hamiltonians with high numerical accuracy. We demonstrate initial applications with compact Hamiltonians on up to 22 qubits where conventional representation would for the same systems require 40-100 or more qubits. We further demonstrate reductions in the quantum circuits through the structure of the pair-natural orbitals.

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 employ various reduced scaling techniques to accelerate the recently developed least-squares tensor hypercontraction (LS-THC) approximation [Parrish, R. M., Hohenstein, E. G., Martínez, T. J., Sherrill, C. D. J. Chem. Phys. 137, 224106 (2012)] for electron repulsion integrals (ERIs) and apply it to second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). The grid-projected ERI tensors are efficiently constructed using a localized Cholesky molecular orbital basis from density-fitted integrals with an attenuated Coulomb metric. Additionally, rigorous integral screening and the natural blocking matrix format are applied to reduce the complexity of this step. By recasting the equations to form the quantized representation of the 1/r operator Z into the form of a system of linear equations, the bottleneck of inverting the grid metric via pseudoinversion is removed. This leads to a reduced scaling THC algorithm and application to MP2 yields the (sub-)quadratically scaling THC-ω-RI-CDD-SOS-MP2 method. The efficiency of this method is assessed for various systems including DNA fragments with over 8000 basis functions and the subquadratic scaling is illustrated.

Abstract
We report on applications of the domain based local pair-natural orbital (PNO) coupled-cluster method within the singles and doubles approximation (DLPNO-CCSD) to the calculation of 57Fe isomer shifts and quadrupole splittings in a small training set of iron complexes consisting of large molecular ligands and iron atoms in varying charge, spin, and oxidation states. The electron densities and electric field gradients needed for these calculations were obtained within the recently implemented analytic derivative scheme. A method for the direct treatment of scalar relativistic effects in the calculation of effective electron densities is described by using the first-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian and a Gaussian charge distribution model for the nucleus. The performance of DLPNO-CCSD is compared with four modern-day density functionals, namely, RPBE, TPSS, B3LYP, and B2PLYP, as well as with the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory. An excellent correlation between the calculated electron densities and the experimental isomer shifts is attained with the DLPNO-CCSD method. The correlation constant a obtained from the slope of the linear correlation plot is found to be ≈-0.31 a.u.3 mm s-1, which agrees very well with the experimental calibration constant α = -0.31 ± 0.04 a.u.3 mm s-1. This value of a is obtained consistently using both nonrelativistic and scalar relativistic DLPNO-CCSD electron densities. While the B3LYP and B2PLYP functionals achieve equally good correlation between theory and experiment, the correlation constant a is found to deviate from the experimental value. Similar trends are observed also for quadrupole splittings. The value of the nuclear quadrupole moment for 57Fe is estimated to be 0.15 b at the DLPNO-CCSD level. This is consistent with previous results and is here supported by a higher level of theory. The DLPNO-CCSD results are found to be insensitive to the intrinsic approximations in the method, in particular the PNO occupation number truncation error, while the results obtained with density functional theory (DFT) are found to depend on the choice of the functional. In a statistical sense, i.e., on the basis of the linear regression analysis, however, the accuracies of the DFT and DLPNO-CCSD results can be considered comparable.

Abstract
We present a near-linear scaling formulation of the explicitly correlated coupled-cluster singles and doubles with the perturbative triples method [CCSD(T)F12¯] for high-spin states of open-shell species. The approach is based on the conventional open-shell CCSD formalism [M. Saitow et al., J. Chem. Phys. 146, 164105 (2017)] utilizing the domain local pair-natural orbitals (DLPNO) framework. The use of spin-independent set of pair-natural orbitals ensures exact agreement with the closed-shell formalism reported previously, with only marginally impact on the cost (e.g., the open-shell formalism is only 1.5 times slower than the closed-shell counterpart for the C160H322 n-alkane, with the measured size complexity of ≈1.2). Evaluation of coupled-cluster energies near the complete-basis-set (CBS) limit for open-shell systems with more than 550 atoms and 5000 basis functions is feasible on a single multi-core computer in less than 3 days. The aug-cc-pVTZ DLPNO-CCSD(T)F12¯ contribution to the heat of formation for the 50 largest molecules among the 348 core combustion species benchmark set [J. Klippenstein et al., J. Phys. Chem. A 121, 6580-6602 (2017)] had root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) from the extrapolated CBS CCSD(T) reference values of 0.3 kcal/mol. For a more challenging set of 50 reactions involving small closed- and open-shell molecules [G. Knizia et al., J. Chem. Phys. 130, 054104 (2009)], the aug-cc-pVQ(+d)Z DLPNO-CCSD(T)F12¯ yielded a RMSD of ∼0.4 kcal/mol with respect to the CBS CCSD(T) estimate.

Abstract
On a comprehensive database with 1,644 datapoints, covering several aspects of main-group as well as of transition metal chemistry, we assess the performance of 60 density functional approximations (DFA), among them 36 double hybrids (DH). All calculations are performed using a Slater type orbital (STO) basis set of triple-ζ (TZ) quality and the highly efficient pair atomic resolution of the identity approach for the exchange- and Coulomb-term of the KS matrix (PARI-K and PARI-J, respectively) and for the evaluation of the MP2 energy correction (PARI-MP2). Employing the quadratic scaling SOS-AO-PARI-MP2 algorithm, DHs based on the spin-opposite-scaled (SOS) MP2 approximation are benchmarked against a database of large molecules. We evaluate the accuracy of STO/PARI calculations for B3LYP as well as for the DH B2GP-PLYP and show that the combined basis set and PARI-error is comparable to the one obtained using the well-known def2-TZVPP Gaussian-type basis set in conjunction with global density fitting. While quadruple-ζ (QZ) calculations are currently not feasible for PARI-MP2 due to numerical issues, we show that, on the TZ level, Jacob's ladder for classifying DFAs is reproduced. However, while the best DHs are more accurate than the best hybrids, the improvements are less pronounced than the ones commonly found on the QZ level. For conformers of organic molecules and noncovalent interactions where very high accuracy is required for qualitatively correct results, DHs provide only small improvements over hybrids, while they still excel in thermochemistry, kinetics, transition metal chemistry and the description of strained organic systems.

Abstract
We present a new implementation of density matrix renormalization group based tailored coupled clusters method (TCCSD), which employs the domain-based local pair natural orbital approach (DLPNO). Compared to the previous local pair natural orbital (LPNO) version of the method, the new implementation is more accurate, offers more favorable scaling, and provides more consistent behavior across the variety of systems. On top of the singles and doubles, we include the perturbative triples correction (T), which is able to retrieve even more dynamic correlation. The methods were tested on three systems: tetramethyleneethane, oxo-Mn(Salen), and iron(II)-porphyrin model. The first two were revisited to assess the performance with respect to LPNO-TCCSD. For oxo-Mn(Salen), we retrieved between 99.8 and 99.9% of the total canonical correlation energy which is an improvement of 0.2% over the LPNO version in less than 63% of the total LPNO runtime. Similar results were obtained for iron(II)-porphyrin. When the perturbative triples correction was employed, irrespective of the active space size or system, the obtained energy differences between two spin states were within the chemical accuracy of 1 kcal/mol using the default DLPNO settings.

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
Molpro is a general purpose quantum chemistry software package with a long development history. It was originally focused on accurate wavefunction calculations for small molecules but now has many additional distinctive capabilities that include, inter alia, local correlation approximations combined with explicit correlation, highly efficient implementations of single-reference correlation methods, robust and efficient multireference methods for large molecules, projection embedding, and anharmonic vibrational spectra. In addition to conventional input-file specification of calculations, Molpro calculations can now be specified and analyzed via a new graphical user interface and through a Python framework.

Abstract
The Complete-Active Space Second-order Perturbation Theory (CASPT2) has been one of the most widely-used methods for reliably calculating electronic structures of multireference systems. Because of its lowest level treatment of dynamic correlation, it has a high computational feasibility; however, its accuracy in some cases falls short of needs. Here, as a simple yet higher-order alternative, we introduce a hybrid theory of the CASPT2 and a multireference variant of the Coupled-Electron Pair Approximation (CEPA), which is a class of high level correlation theory. A central feature of our theory (CEPT2) is to use the two underlying theories for describing different divisions of correlation components based on the full internal contraction framework. The external components, which usually give a major contribution to the dynamic correlation, are intensively described using the CEPA Ansatz, while the rests are treated at the CASPT2 level. Furthermore, to drastically reduce the computational demands, we have incorporated the pair-natural orbital (PNO) method into our multireference implementations. This development, thus, requires highly complex derivations and coding, while it has been largely facilitated with an automatic expression and code generation technique. To highlight the accuracy of the CEPT2 approach and to assess the errors caused by the PNO truncation, benchmark calculations are shown on small- to medium-size molecules, illustrating the high accuracy of the present CEPT2 model. By tightening the truncation thresholds, the PNO-CEPT2 energy converges toward the canonical counterpart and is more accurate than that of PNO-CASPT2 as long as the same truncation thresholds are used.

Abstract
We report a production level implementation of pair atomic resolution of the identity (PARI) based second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) in the Slater type orbital (STO) based Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF) code. As demonstrated by systematic benchmarks, dimerization and isomerization energies obtained with our code using STO basis sets of triple-ζ-quality show mean absolute deviations from Gaussian type orbital, canonical, basis set limit extrapolated, global density fitting (DF)-MP2 results of less than 1 kcal/mol. Furthermore, we introduce a quadratic scaling atomic orbital based spin-opposite-scaled (SOS)-MP2 approach with a very small prefactor. Due to a worst-case scaling of [Formula: see text], our implementation is very fast already for small systems and shows an exceptionally early crossover to canonical SOS-PARI-MP2. We report computational wall time results for linear as well as for realistic three-dimensional molecules and show that triple-ζ quality calculations on molecules of several hundreds of atoms are only a matter of a few hours on a single compute node, the bottleneck of the computations being the SCF rather than the post-SCF energy correction.

Abstract
We present a quadrature-based algorithm for computing the opposite-spin component of the MP2 correlation energy which scales quadratically with basis set size and is well-suited to large-scale parallelization. The key ideas, which are rooted in the earlier work of Hirata and co-workers, are to abandon all two-electron integrals, recast the energy as a seven-dimensional integral, approximate that integral by quadrature, and employ a cutoff strategy to minimize the number of intermediate quantities. We discuss our implementation in detail and show that it parallelizes almost perfectly on 840 cores for cyclosporine (a molecule with roughly 200 atoms), exhibits [Formula: see text] scaling for a sequence of polyglycines, and is principally limited by the accuracy of its quadrature.

Abstract
The coupled cluster method with single-, double-, and perturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T)] is considered to be one of the most reliable quantum chemistry theories. However, the steep scaling of CCSD(T) has limited its application to small or medium-sized systems for a long time. In our previous work, the linear scaling domain based local pair natural orbital CCSD variant (DLPNO-CCSD) has been developed for closed-shell and open-shell. However, it is known from extensive benchmark studies that triple-excitation contributions are important to reach chemical accuracy. In the present work, two linear scaling (T) approximations for open-shell DLPNO-CCSD are implemented and compared: (a) an algorithm based on the semicanonical approximation, in which off-diagonal Fock matrix elements in the occupied space are neglected [referred to as DLPNO-(T0)]; and (b) an improved algorithm in which the triples amplitudes are computed iteratively [referred to as DLPNO-(T)]. This work is based on the previous open-shell DLPNO-CCSD algorithm [M. Saitow et al., J. Chem. Phys. 146, 164105 (2017)] as well as the iterative (T) correction for closed-shell systems [Y. Guo et al., J. Chem. Phys. 148, 011101 (2018)]. Our results show that the new open-shell perturbative corrections, DLPNO-(T0/T), can predict accurate absolute and relative correlation energies relative to the canonical reference calculations with the same basis set. The absolute energies from DLPNO-(T) are significantly more accurate than those of DLPNO-(T0). The additional computational effort of DLPNO-(T) relative to DLPNO-(T0) is a factor of 4 on average. We report calculations on systems with more than 4000 basis functions.

Abstract
Ab initio composite approaches have been utilized to model and predict main group thermochemistry within 1 kcal mol-1 , on average, from well-established reliable experiments, primarily for molecules with less than 30 atoms. For molecules of increasing size and complexity, such as biomolecular complexes, composite methodologies have been limited in their application. Therefore, the domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO) methods have been implemented within the correlation consistent composite approach (ccCA) framework, namely DLPNO-ccCA, to reduce the computational cost (disk space, CPU (central processing unit) time, memory) and predict energetic properties such as enthalpies of formation, noncovalent interactions, and conformation energies for organic biomolecular complexes including one of the largest molecules examined via composite strategies, within 1 kcal mol-1 , after calibration with 119 molecules and a set of linear alkanes. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
In this study we examine the accuracy of domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled cluster theory with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) on a large benchmark data set. To this end, we use the recently published GMTKN55 superset of molecules that contains 1505 relative energies and 2462 single-point calculations. To our knowledge this is the most comprehensive benchmark evaluation of any highly correlated wave function based ab initio method to date. In the first part of the study, canonical CCSD(T) reference calculations were carried out on the entire test set in order to guarantee that the reference data are of uniform quality. Second, DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations were carried out under identical conditions. The main finding is that with the exception of two data sets, all data sets have a MAD of 0.4 kcal/mol or less and the majority of sets have a MAD of less than 0.2 kcal/mol. For open shells, the accuracy of the DLPNO calculations was significantly improved through an iterative version of the triples correction.

Abstract
Since the introduction of the fragment molecular orbital method 20 years ago, fragment-based approaches have occupied a small but growing niche in quantum chemistry. These methods decompose a large molecular system into subsystems small enough to be amenable to electronic structure calculations, following which the subsystem information is reassembled in order to approximate an otherwise intractable supersystem calculation. Fragmentation sidesteps the steep rise (with respect to system size) in the cost of ab initio calculations, replacing it with a distributed cost across numerous computer processors. Such methods are attractive, in part, because they are easily parallelizable and therefore readily amenable to exascale computing. As such, there has been hope that distributed computing might offer the proverbial "free lunch" in quantum chemistry, with the entrée being high-level calculations on very large systems. While fragment-based quantum chemistry can count many success stories, there also exists a seedy underbelly of rarely acknowledged problems. As these methods begin to mature, it is time to have a serious conversation about what they can and cannot be expected to accomplish in the near future. Both successes and challenges are highlighted in this Perspective.
