Abstract
We present a graph-theory-based reformulation of all ONIOM-based molecular fragmentation methods. We discuss applications to (a) accurate post-Hartree-Fock AIMD that can be conducted at DFT cost for medium-sized systems, (b) hybrid DFT condensed-phase studies at the cost of pure density functionals, (c) reduced cost on-the-fly large basis gas-phase AIMD and condensed-phase studies, (d) post-Hartree-Fock-level potential surfaces at DFT cost to obtain quantum nuclear effects, and (e) novel transfer machine learning protocols derived from these measures. Additionally, in previous work, the unifying strategy discussed here has been used to construct new quantum computing algorithms. Thus, we conclude that this reformulation is robust and accurate.

Abstract
The accurate and efficient study of the interactions of organic matter with the surface of water is critical to a wide range of applications. For example, environmental studies have found that acidic polyfluorinated alkyl substances, especially perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), have spread throughout the environment and bioaccumulate into human populations residing near contaminated watersheds, leading to many systemic maladies. Thus, the study of the interactions of PFOA with water surfaces became important for the mitigation of their activity as pollutants and threats to public health. However, theoretical study of the interactions of such organic adsorbates on the surface of water, and their bulk concerted properties, often necessitates the use of ab initio methods to properly incorporate the long-range electronic properties that govern these extended systems. Notable theoretical treatments of "on-water" reactions thus far have employed hybrid DFT and semilocal DFT, but the interactions involved are weak interactions that may be best described using post-Hartree-Fock theory. Here, we aim to demonstrate the utility of a graph-theoretic approach to molecular fragmentation that accurately captures the critical "weak" interactions while maintaining an efficient ab initio treatment of the long-range periodic interactions that underpin the physics of extended systems. We apply this graph-theoretical treatment to study PFOA on the surface of water as a model system for the study of weak interactions seen in the wide range of surface interactions and reactions. The approach divides a system into a set of vertices, that are then connected through edges, faces, and higher order graph theoretic objects known as simplexes, to represent a collection of locally interacting subsystems. These subsystems are then used to construct ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and for computing multidimensional potential energy surfaces. To further improve the computational efficiency of our graph theoretic fragmentation method, we use a recently developed transfer learning protocol to construct the full system potential energy from a family of neural networks each designed to accurately model the behavior of individual simplexes. We use a unique multidimensional clustering algorithm, based on the k-means clustering methodology, to define our training space for each separate simplex. These models are used to extrapolate the energies for molecular dynamics trajectories at PFOA water interfaces, at less than one-tenth the cost as compared to a regular molecular fragmentation-based dynamics calculation with excellent agreement with couple cluster level of full system potential energies.

Abstract
The accurate determination of chemical properties is known to have a critical impact on multiple fundamental chemical problems but is deeply hindered by the steep algebraic scaling of electron correlation calculations and the exponential scaling of quantum nuclear dynamics. With the advent of new quantum computing hardware and associated developments in creating new paradigms for quantum software, this avenue has been recognized as perhaps one way to address exponentially complex challenges in quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics. In this paper, we discuss a new approach to drastically reduce the quantum circuit depth (by several orders of magnitude) and help improve the accuracy in the quantum computation of electron correlation energies for large molecular systems. The method is derived from a graph-theoretic approach to molecular fragmentation and enables us to create a family of projection operators that decompose quantum circuits into separate unitary processes. Some of these processes can be treated on quantum hardware and others on classical hardware in a completely asynchronous and parallel fashion. Numerical benchmarks are provided through the computation of unitary coupled-cluster singles and doubles (UCCSD) energies for medium-sized protonated and neutral water clusters using the new quantum algorithms presented here.

Abstract
Molecular fragmentation methods have revolutionized quantum chemistry. Here, we use a graph-theoretically generated molecular fragmentation method, to obtain accurate and efficient representations for multidimensional potential energy surfaces and the quantum time-evolution operator, which plays a critical role in quantum chemical dynamics. In doing so, we find that the graph-theoretic fragmentation approach naturally reduces the potential portion of the time-evolution operator into a tensor network that contains a stream of coupled lower-dimensional propagation steps to potentially achieve quantum dynamics with reduced complexity. Furthermore, the fragmentation approach used here has previously been shown to allow accurate and efficient computation of post-Hartree-Fock electronic potential energy surfaces, which in many cases has been shown to be at density functional theory cost. Thus, by combining the advantages of molecular fragmentation with the tensor network formalism, the approach yields an on-the-fly quantum dynamics scheme where both the electronic potential calculation and nuclear propagation portion are enormously simplified through a single stroke. The method is demonstrated by computing approximations to the propagator and to potential surfaces for a set of coupled nuclear dimensions within a protonated water wire problem exhibiting the Grotthuss mechanism of proton transport. In all cases, our approach has been shown to reduce the complexity of representing the quantum propagator, and by extension action of the propagator on an initial wavepacket, by several orders, with minimal loss in accuracy.

Abstract
Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) is a method for computational studies of noncovalent interactions between molecules. This method will be discussed here from the perspective of establishing the paradigm for understanding mechanisms of intermolecular interactions. SAPT interaction energies are obtained as sums of several contributions. Each contribution possesses a clear physical interpretation as it results from some specific physical process. It also exhibits a specific dependence on the intermolecular separation R. The four major contributions are the electrostatic, induction, dispersion, and exchange energies, each due to a different mechanism, valid at any R. In addition, at large R, SAPT interaction energies are seamlessly connected with the corresponding terms in the asymptotic multipole expansion of interaction energy in inverse powers of R. Since such expansion explicitly depends on monomers' multipole moments and polarizabilities, this connection provides additional insights by rigorously relating interaction energies to monomers' properties.

Abstract
Hybrid or "extended" symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (XSAPT) replaces traditional SAPT's treatment of dispersion with better performing alternatives while at the same time extending two-body (dimer) SAPT to a many-body treatment of polarization using a self-consistent charge embedding procedure. The present work presents a systematic study of how XSAPT interaction energies and energy components converge with respect to the choice of Gaussian basis set. Errors can be reduced in a systematic way using correlation-consistent basis sets, with aug-cc-pVTZ results converged within <0.1 kcal/mol. Similar (if slightly less systematic) behavior is obtained using Karlsruhe basis sets at much lower cost, and we introduce new versions with limited augmentation that are even more efficient. Pople-style basis sets, which are more efficient still, often afford good results if a large number of polarization functions are included. The dispersion models used in XSAPT afford much faster basis-set convergence as compared to the perturbative description of dispersion in conventional SAPT, meaning that "compromise" basis sets (such as jun-cc-pVDZ) are no longer required and benchmark-quality results can be obtained using triple-ζ basis sets. The use of diffuse functions proves to be essential, especially for the description of hydrogen bonds. The "δ(Hartree-Fock)" correction for high-order induction can be performed in double-ζ basis sets without significant loss of accuracy, leading to a mixed-basis approach that offers 4× speedup over the existing (cubic scaling) XSAPT approach.

Abstract
We present a multitopology molecular fragmentation approach, based on graph theory, to calculate multidimensional potential energy surfaces in agreement with post-Hartree-Fock levels of theory but at the density functional theory cost. A molecular assembly is coarse-grained into a set of graph-theoretic nodes that are then connected with edges to represent a collection of locally interacting subsystems up to an arbitrary order. Each of the subsystems is treated at two levels of electronic structure theory, the result being used to construct many-body expansions that are embedded within an ONIOM scheme. These expansions converge rapidly with the many-body order (or graphical rank) of subsystems and capture many-body interactions accurately and efficiently. However, multiple graphs, and hence multiple fragmentation topologies, may be defined in molecular configuration space that may arise during conformational sampling or from reactive, bond breaking and bond formation, events. Obtaining the resultant potential surfaces is an exponential scaling proposition, given the number of electronic structure computations needed. We utilize a family of graph-theoretic representations within a variational scheme to obtain multidimensional potential surfaces at a reduced cost. The fast convergence of the graph-theoretic expansion with increasing order of many-body interactions alleviates the exponential scaling cost for computing potential surfaces, with the need to only use molecular fragments that contain a fewer number of quantum nuclear degrees of freedom compared to the full system. This is because the dimensionality of the conformational space sampled by the fragment subsystems is much smaller than the full molecular configurational space. Additionally, we also introduce a multidimensional clustering algorithm, based on physically defined criteria, to reduce the number of energy calculations by orders of magnitude. The molecular systems benchmarked include coupled proton motion in protonated water wires. The potential energy surfaces and multidimensional nuclear eigenstates obtained are shown to be in very good agreement with those from explicit post-Hartree-Fock calculations that become prohibitive as the number of quantum nuclear dimensions grows. The developments here provide a rigorous and efficient alternative to this important chemical physics problem.

Abstract
Soft anions exhibit surface activity at the air/water interface that can be probed using surface-sensitive vibrational spectroscopy, but the structural implications of this surface activity remain a matter of debate. Here, we examine the nature of anion-water interactions at the air/water interface using a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and quantum-mechanical energy decomposition analysis based on symmetry-adapted perturbation theory. Results are presented for a set of monovalent anions, including Cl-, Br-, I-, CN-, OCN-, SCN-, NO2-, NO3-, and ClOn- (n=1,2,3,4), several of which are archetypal examples of surface-active species. In all cases, we find that average anion-water interaction energies are systematically larger in bulk water although the difference (with respect to the same quantity computed in the interfacial environment) is well within the magnitude of the instantaneous fluctuations. Specifically for the surface-active species Br-(aq), I-(aq), ClO4-(aq), and SCN-(aq), and also for ClO-(aq), the charge-transfer (CT) energy is found to be larger at the interface than it is in bulk water, by an amount that is greater than the standard deviation of the fluctuations. The Cl-(aq) ion has a slightly larger CT energy at the interface, but NO3-(aq) does not; these two species are borderline cases where consensus is lacking regarding their surface activity. However, CT stabilization amounts to <20% of the total induction energy for each of the ions considered here, and CT-free polarization energies are systematically larger in bulk water in all cases. As such, the role of these effects in the surface activity of soft anions remains unclear. This analysis complements our recent work suggesting that the short-range solvation structure around these ions is scarcely different at the air/water interface from what it is in bulk water. Together, these observations suggest that changes in first-shell hydration structure around soft anions cannot explain observed surface activities.

Abstract
An alternative formulation of the non-orthogonal molecular orbital model of electronic structure theory is developed based on the expansion of the inverse molecular orbital overlap matrix. From this model, a hierarchy of ab initio fragment-based quantum chemistry methods, referred to as the nth-order expanded non-orthogonal molecular orbital methods, are developed using a minimal number of approximations, each of which is frequently employed in intermolecular interaction theory. These novel methods are compared to existing fragment-based quantum chemistry methods, and the implications of those significant differences, where they exist, between the methods developed herein and those already existing methods are examined in detail. Computational complexities and theoretical scaling are also analyzed and discussed. Future extensions for the hierarchy of methods, to account for additional intrafragment and interfragment interactions, are outlined.

Abstract
Although sometimes derided as "weak" interactions, non-covalent forces play a critical role in ligand binding and crystal packing and in determining the conformational landscape of flexible molecules. Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) provides a framework for accurate ab initio calculation of intermolecular interactions and furnishes a natural decomposition of the interaction energy into physically meaningful components: semiclassical electrostatics (rigorously obtained from monomer charge densities), Pauli or steric repulsion, induction (including both polarization and charge transfer), and dispersion. This decomposition helps to foster deeper understanding of non-covalent interactions and can be used to construct transferable, physics-based force fields. Separability of the SAPT interaction energy also provides the flexibility to construct composite methods, a feature that we exploit to improve the description of dispersion interactions. These are challenging to describe accurately because they arise from nonlocal electron correlation effects that appear for the first time at second order in perturbation theory but are not quantitatively described at that level.As with all quantum-chemical methods, a major limitation of SAPT is nonlinear scaling of the computational cost with respect to system size. This cost can be significantly mitigated using "SAPT0(KS)", which incorporates monomer electron correlation by means of Kohn-Sham (KS) molecular orbitals from density functional theory (DFT), as well as by an "extended" theory called XSAPT, developed by the authors. XSAPT generalizes traditional dimer SAPT to many-body systems, so that a ligand-protein interaction (for example) can be separated into contributions from individual amino acids, reducing the cost of the calculation below that of even supramolecular DFT while retaining the accuracy of high-level ab initio quantum chemistry.This Account provides an overview of the SAPT0(KS) approach and the XSAPT family of methods. Several low-cost variants are described that provide accuracy approaching that of the best ab initio benchmarks yet are affordable enough to tackle ligand-protein binding and sizable host-guest complexes. These variants include SAPT+aiD, which uses ab initio atom-atom dispersion potentials ("+aiD") in place of second-order SAPT dispersion, and also SAPT+MBD, which incorporates many-body dispersion (MBD) effects that are important in the description of nanoscale materials. Applications to drug binding highlight the size-extensive nature of dispersion, which is not a weak interaction in large systems. Other applications highlight how a physics-based analysis can sometimes upend conventional wisdom regarding intermolecular forces. In particular, careful reconsideration of π-π interactions makes clear that the quadrupolar electrostatics (or "Hunter-Sanders") model of π-π stacking should be replaced by a "van der Waals model" in which conformational preferences arise from a competition between dispersion and Pauli repulsion. Our analysis also suggests that molecular shape, rather than aromaticity per se, is the key factor driving strong stacking interactions. Looking forward, we anticipate that XSAPT-based methods can play a role in screening of drug candidates and in materials design.

Abstract
This article summarizes technical advances contained in the fifth major release of the Q-Chem quantum chemistry program package, covering developments since 2015. A comprehensive library of exchange-correlation functionals, along with a suite of correlated many-body methods, continues to be a hallmark of the Q-Chem software. The many-body methods include novel variants of both coupled-cluster and configuration-interaction approaches along with methods based on the algebraic diagrammatic construction and variational reduced density-matrix methods. Methods highlighted in Q-Chem 5 include a suite of tools for modeling core-level spectroscopy, methods for describing metastable resonances, methods for computing vibronic spectra, the nuclear-electronic orbital method, and several different energy decomposition analysis techniques. High-performance capabilities including multithreaded parallelism and support for calculations on graphics processing units are described. Q-Chem boasts a community of well over 100 active academic developers, and the continuing evolution of the software is supported by an "open teamware" model and an increasingly modular design.

Abstract
An iterative orbital interaction (iOI) approach is proposed to solve, in a bottom-up fashion, the self-consistent field problem in quantum chemistry. While it belongs grossly to the family of fragment-based quantum chemical methods, iOI is distinctive in that (1) it divides and conquers not only the energy but also the wave function and that (2) the subsystem sizes are automatically determined by successively merging neighboring small subsystems until they are just enough for converging the wave function to a given accuracy. Orthonormal occupied and virtual localized molecular orbitals are obtained in a natural manner, which can be used for all post-SCF purposes.

Abstract
Long considered a failure, second-order symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) based on Kohn-Sham orbitals, or SAPT0(KS), can be resurrected for semiquantitative purposes using long-range corrected density functionals whose asymptotic behavior is adjusted separately for each monomer. As in other contexts, correct asymptotic behavior can be enforced via "optimal tuning" based on the ionization energy theorem of density functional theory, but the tuning procedure is tedious, expensive for large systems, and comes with a troubling dependence on system size. Here, we show that essentially identical results are obtained using a fast, convenient, and automated tuning procedure based on the size of the exchange hole. In conjunction with "extended" (X)SAPT methods that improve the description of dispersion, this procedure achieves benchmark-quality interaction energies, along with the usual SAPT energy decomposition, without the hassle of system-specific tuning.

Fragment-Based Local Coupled Cluster Embedding Approach for the Quantification and Analysis of Noncovalent Interactions: Exploring the Many-Body Expansion of the Local Coupled Cluster Energy.

Abstract
Herein, we introduce a fragment-based local coupled cluster embedding approach for the accurate quantification and analysis of noncovalent interactions in molecular aggregates. Our scheme combines two different expansions of the domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled cluster (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) energy: the many-body expansion (MBE) and the local energy decomposition (LED). The low-order terms in the MBE are initially computed in the presence of an environment that is treated at a low level of theory. Then, LED is used to decompose the energy of each term in the embedded MBE into additive fragment and fragment-pairwise contributions. This information is used to quantify the total energy of the system while providing at the same time in-depth insights into the nature and cooperativity of noncovalent interactions. Two different approaches are introduced and tested, in which the environment is treated at different levels of theory: the local coupled cluster in the Hartree-Fock (LCC-in-HF) method, in which the environment is treated at the HF level; and the electrostatically embedded local coupled cluster method (LCC-in-EE), in which the environment is replaced by point charges. Both schemes are designed to preserve as much as possible the accuracy of the parent local coupled cluster method for total energies, while being embarrassingly parallel and less memory intensive. These schemes appear to be particularly promising for the study of large and complex molecular aggregates at the coupled cluster level, such as condensed phase systems and protein-ligand interactions.

Abstract
We present a weighted-graph-theoretic approach to adaptively compute contributions from many-body approximations for smooth and accurate post-Hartree-Fock (pHF) ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) of highly fluxional chemical systems. This approach is ONIOM-like, where the full system is treated at a computationally feasible quality of treatment (density functional theory (DFT) for the size of systems considered in this publication), which is then improved through a perturbative correction that captures local many-body interactions up to a certain order within a higher level of theory (post-Hartree-Fock in this publication) described through graph-theoretic techniques. Due to the fluxional and dynamical nature of the systems studied here, these graphical representations evolve during dynamics. As a result, energetic "hops" appear as the graphical representation deforms with the evolution of the chemical and physical properties of the system. In this paper, we introduce dynamically weighted, linear combinations of graphs, where the transition between graphical representations is smoothly achieved by considering a range of neighboring graphical representations at a given instant during dynamics. We compare these trajectories with those obtained from a set of trajectories where the range of local many-body interactions considered is increased, sometimes to the maximum available limit, which yields conservative trajectories as the order of interactions is increased. The weighted-graph approach presents improved dynamics trajectories while only using lower-order many-body interaction terms. The methods are compared by computing dynamical properties through time-correlation functions and structural distribution functions. In all cases, the weighted-graph approach provides accurate results at a lower cost.

Abstract
In this work, the automated fragmentation quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (AF-QM/MM) approach was applied to calculate the 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts in molecular crystals. Two benchmark sets of molecular crystals were selected to calculate the NMR chemical shifts. Systematic investigation was conducted to examine the convergence of AF-QM/MM calculations and the impact of various density functionals with different basis sets on the NMR chemical shift prediction. The result demonstrates that the calculated NMR chemical shifts are close to convergence when the distance threshold for the QM region is larger than 3.5 Å. For 13C chemical shift calculations, the mPW1PW91 functional is the best density functional among the functionals chosen in this study (namely, B3LYP, B3PW91, M06-2X, M06-L, mPW1PW91, OB98, and OPBE), while the OB98 functional is more suitable for the 1H NMR chemical shift prediction of molecular crystals. Moreover, with the B3LYP functional, at least a triple-ζ basis set should be utilized to accurately reproduce the experimental 13C and 1H chemical shifts. The employment of diffuse basis functions will further improve the accuracy for 13C chemical shift calculations, but not for the 1H chemical shift prediction. We further proposed a fragmentation scheme of dividing the central molecule into smaller fragments. By comparing with the results of the fragmentation scheme using the entire central molecule as the core region, the AF-QM/MM calculations with the fragmented central molecule can not only achieve accurate results but also reduce the computational cost. Therefore, the AF-QM/MM approach is capable of predicting the 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts for molecular crystals accurately and effectively, and could be utilized for dealing with more complex periodic systems such as macromolecular polymers and biomacromolecules. The AF-QM/MM program for molecular crystals is available at https://github.com/shiman1995/NMR.

Abstract
Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) is a method for calculations of intermolecular (noncovalent) interaction energies. The set of SAPT codes that is described here, the current version named SAPT2020, includes virtually all variants of SAPT developed so far, among them two-body SAPT based on perturbative, coupled cluster, and density functional theory descriptions of monomers, three-body SAPT, and two-body SAPT for some classes of open-shell monomers. The properties of systems governed by noncovalent interactions can be predicted only if potential energy surfaces (force fields) are available. SAPT is the preferred approach for generating such surfaces since it is seamlessly connected to the asymptotic expansion of interaction energy. SAPT2020 includes codes for automatic development of such surfaces, enabling generation of complete dimer surfaces with a rigid monomer approximation for dimers containing about one hundred atoms. These codes can also be used to obtain surfaces including internal degrees of freedom of monomers.

Abstract
A self-consistent Coulomb bath model is presented to provide an accurate and efficient way of performing calculations for interfragment electrostatic and polarization interactions. In this method, a condensed-phase system is partitioned into molecular fragment blocks. Each fragment is embedded in the Coulomb bath due to other fragments. Importantly, the present Coulomb bath is represented using a density fitting method in which the electron densities of molecular fragments are fitted using an atom-centered auxiliary basis set of Gaussian type. The Coulomb bath is incorporated into an effective Hamiltonian for each fragment, with which the electron density is optimized through an iterative double self-consistent field (DSCF) procedure to realize the mutual many-body polarization effects. In this work, the accuracy of interfragment interaction energies enumerated using the Coulomb bath is tested, showing a good agreement with the exact results from an energy decomposition analysis. The qualitative features of many-body polarization effects are visualized by electron density difference plots. It is also shown that the present DSCF method can yield fast and robust convergence with near-linear scaling in performance with increase in system size.

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.

Abstract
The many-body expansion (MBE) and its extension to overlapping fragments, the generalized (G)MBE, constitute the theoretical basis for most fragment-based approaches for large-scale quantum chemistry. We reformulate the GMBE for use with embedding charges determined self-consistently from the fragment wave functions, in a manner that preserves the variational nature of the underlying self-consistent field method. As a result, the analytic gradient retains the simple "sum of fragment gradients" form that is often assumed in practice, sometimes incorrectly. This obviates (without approximation) the need to solve coupled-perturbed equations, and we demonstrate stable, fragment-based ab initio molecular dynamics simulations using this technique. Energy conservation fails when charge-response contributions to the Fock matrix are neglected, even while geometry optimizations and vibrational frequency calculations may yet be accurate. Stable simulations can be recovered by means of straightforward modifications introduced here, providing a general paradigm for fragment-based ab initio molecular dynamics.

Abstract
Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) provides a chemically meaningful energy decomposition scheme for nonbonded interactions that is useful for interpretive purposes. Although formally a dimer theory, we have previously introduced an "extended" version (XSAPT) that incorporates many-body polarization via self-consistent charge embedding. Here, we extend the XSAPT methodology to include nonadditive dispersion, using a modified form of the many-body dispersion (MBD) method of Tkatchenko and co-workers. Dispersion interactions beyond the pairwise atom-atom approximation improve total interaction energies even in small systems, and for large π-stacked complexes these corrections can amount to several kilocalories per mole. The XSAPT+MBD method introduced here achieves errors of ≲1 kcal/mol (as compared to high-level ab initio benchmarks) for the L7 data set of large dispersion-bound complexes and ≲4 kcal/mol (as compared to experiment) for the S30L data set of host-guest complexes. This is superior to the best contemporary density functional methods for noncovalent interactions, at comparable or lower cost. XSAPT+MBD represents a promising method for application to supramolecular assemblies, including protein-ligand binding.

Abstract
The accurate description of long-range electron correlation, most prominently including van der Waals (vdW) dispersion interactions, represents a particularly challenging task in the modeling of molecules and materials. vdW forces arise from the interaction of quantum-mechanical fluctuations in the electronic charge density. Within (semi-)local density functional approximations or Hartree-Fock theory such interactions are neglected altogether. Non-covalent vdW interactions, however, are ubiquitous in nature and play a key role for the understanding and accurate description of the stability, dynamics, structure, and response properties in a plethora of systems. During the last decade, many promising methods have been developed for modeling vdW interactions in electronic-structure calculations. These methods include vdW-inclusive Density Functional Theory and correlated post-Hartree-Fock approaches. Here, we focus on the methods within the framework of Density Functional Theory, including non-local van der Waals density functionals, interatomic dispersion models within many-body and pairwise formulation, and random phase approximation-based approaches. This review aims to guide the reader through the theoretical foundations of these methods in a tutorial-style manner and, in particular, highlight practical aspects such as the applicability and the advantages and shortcomings of current vdW-inclusive approaches. In addition, we give an overview of complementary experimental approaches, and discuss tools for the qualitative understanding of non-covalent interactions as well as energy decomposition techniques. Besides representing a reference for the current state-of-the-art, this work is thus also designed as a concise and detailed introduction to vdW-inclusive electronic structure calculations for a general and broad audience.

Abstract
Today's quantum chemistry methods are extremely powerful but rely upon complex quantities such as the massively multidimensional wavefunction or even the simpler electron density. Consequently, chemical insight and a chemist's intuition are often lost in this complexity leaving the results obtained difficult to rationalize. To handle this overabundance of information, computational chemists have developed tools and methodologies that assist in composing a more intuitive picture that permits better understanding of the intricacies of chemical behavior. In particular, the fundamental comprehension of phenomena governed by non-covalent interactions is not easily achieved in terms of either the total wavefunction or the total electron density, but can be accomplished using more informative quantities. This perspective provides an overview of these tools and methods that have been specifically developed or used to analyze, identify, quantify, and visualize non-covalent interactions. These include the quantitative energy decomposition analysis schemes and the more qualitative class of approaches such as the Non-covalent Interaction index, the Density Overlap Region Indicator, or quantum theory of atoms in molecules. Aside from the enhanced knowledge gained from these schemes, their strengths, limitations, as well as a roadmap for expanding their capabilities are emphasized.

Abstract
Molecular simulations are powerful tools for providing atomic-level details into complex chemical and physical processes that occur in the condensed phase. For strongly interacting systems where quantum many-body effects are known to play an important role, density-functional methods are often used to provide the model with the potential energy used to drive dynamics. These methods, however, suffer from two major drawbacks. First, they are often too computationally intensive to practically apply to large systems over long time scales, limiting their scope of application. Second, there remain challenges for these models to obtain the necessary level of accuracy for weak non-bonded interactions to obtain quantitative accuracy for a wide range of condensed phase properties. Quantum mechanical force fields (QMFFs) provide a potential solution to both of these limitations. In this review, we address recent advances in the development of QMFFs for condensed phase simulations. In particular, we examine the development of QMFF models using both approximate and ab initio density-functional models, the treatment of short-ranged non-bonded and long-ranged electrostatic interactions, and stability issues in molecular dynamics calculations. Example calculations are provided for crystalline systems, liquid water, and ionic liquids. We conclude with a perspective for emerging challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
Molecular fractionation with conjugate caps (MFCC) method is introduced for the efficient estimation of quantum mechanical (QM) interaction energies between nanomaterial (carbon nanotube, fullerene, and graphene surface) and ligand (charged and neutral). In the calculations, nanomaterials are partitioned into small fragments and conjugated caps that are properly capped, and the interaction energies can be obtained through the summation of QM calculations of the fragments from which the contribution of the conjugated caps is removed. All the calculations were performed by density functional theory (DFT) and dispersion contributions for the attractive interactions were investigated by dispersion corrected DFT method. The predicted interaction energies by MFCC at each computational level are found to give excellent agreement with full system (FS) calculations with the mean energy deviation just a fractional kcal/mol. The accurate determination of nanomaterial-ligand interaction energies by MFCC suggests that it is an effective method for performing QM calculations on nanomaterial-ligand systems.

Abstract
Electronic factors controlling singlet fission (SF) rates are investigated in covalently linked dimers of tetracene. Using covalent linkers, relative orientation of the individual chromophores can be controlled, maximizing the rates of SF. Structures with coplanar and staggered arrangements of tetracene moieties are considered. The electronic structure calculations and three-state kinetic model for SF rates provide explanations for experimentally observed low SF yields in coplanar dimers and efficient SF in staggered dimers. The calculations illuminate the role of the excimer formation in SF process. The structural relaxation in the S1 state leads to the increased rate of the multi-exciton (ME) state formation, but impedes the second step, separation of the ME state into independent triplets. The slower second step reduces SF yield by allowing other processes, such as radiationless relaxation, to compete with triplet generation. The calculations of electronic couplings also suggest an increased rate of radiationless relaxation at the excimer geometries. Thus, the excimer serves as a trap of the ME state. The effect of covalent linkers on the electronic factors and SF rates is investigated. In all considered structures, the presence of the linker leads to larger couplings, however, the effect on the overall rate is less straightforward, since the linkers generally result in less favorable energetics. This complex behavior once again illustrates the importance of integrative approaches that evaluate the overall rate, rather than focusing on specific electronic factors such as energies or couplings.

Abstract
A fully quantum mechanical force field (QMFF) based on a modified “divide-and-conquer” (mDC) framework is applied to a series of molecular simulation applications, using a generalized Particle Mesh Ewald method extended to multipolar charge densities. Simulation results are presented for three example applications: liquid water, p-nitrophenylphosphate reactivity in solution, and crystalline N,N-dimethylglycine. Simulations of liquid water using a parametrized mDC model are compared to TIP3P and TIP4P/Ew water models and experiment. The mDC model is shown to be superior for cluster binding energies and generally comparable for bulk properties. Examination of the dissociative pathway for dephosphorylation of p-nitrophenylphosphate shows that the mDC method evaluated with the DFTB3/3OB and DFTB3/OPhyd semiempirical models bracket the experimental barrier, whereas DFTB2 and AM1/d-PhoT QM/MM simulations exhibit deficiencies in the barriers, the latter for which is related, in part, to the anomalous underestimation of the p-nitrophenylate leaving group pKa. Simulations of crystalline N,N-dimethylglycine are performed and the overall structure and atomic fluctuations are compared with the experiment and the general AMBER force field (GAFF). The QMFF, which was not parametrized for this application, was shown to be in better agreement with crystallographic data than GAFF. Our simulations highlight some of the application areas that may benefit from using new QMFFs, and they demonstrate progress toward the development of accurate QMFFs using the recently developed mDC framework.

Abstract
A new approach for performing Particle Mesh Ewald in ab initio quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulations with extended atomic orbital basis sets is presented. The new approach, the Ambient-Potential Composite Ewald (CEw) method, does not perform the QM/MM interaction with Mulliken charges nor electrostatically fit charges. Instead the nuclei and electron density interact directly with the MM environment, but in a manner that avoids the use of dense Fourier transform grids. By performing the electrostatics with the underlying QM density, the CEw method avoids self-consistent field instabilities that have been encountered with simple charge mapping procedures. Potential of mean force (PMF) profiles of the p-nitrophenyl phosphate dissociation reaction in explicit solvent are computed from PBE0/6-31G* QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations with various electrostatic protocols. The CEw profiles are shown to be stable with respect to real-space Ewald cutoff, whereas the PMFs computed from truncated and switched electrostatics produce artifacts. PBE0/6-311G**, AM1/d-PhoT, and DFTB2 QM/MM simulations are performed to generate two-dimensional PMF profiles of the phosphoryl transesterification reactions with ethoxide and phenoxide leaving groups. The semiempirical models incorrectly produce a concerted ethoxide mechanism, whereas PBE0 correctly produces a stepwise mechanism. The ab initio reaction barriers agree more closely to experiment than the semiempirical models. The failure of Mulliken-charge QM/MM-Ewald is analyzed.

Abstract
Interest in molecular crystals has grown thanks to their relevance to pharmaceuticals, organic semiconductor materials, foods, and many other applications. Electronic structure methods have become an increasingly important tool for modeling molecular crystals and polymorphism. This article reviews electronic structure techniques used to model molecular crystals, including periodic density functional theory, periodic second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory, fragment-based electronic structure methods, and diffusion Monte Carlo. It also discusses the use of these models for predicting a variety of crystal properties that are relevant to the study of polymorphism, including lattice energies, structures, crystal structure prediction, polymorphism, phase diagrams, vibrational spectroscopies, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Finally, tools for analyzing crystal structures and intermolecular interactions are briefly discussed.

Abstract
We develop a physically-motivated assignment of symmetry adapted perturbation theory for intermolecular interactions (SAPT) into atom-pairwise contributions (the A-SAPT partition). The basic precept of A-SAPT is that the many-body interaction energy components are computed normally under the formalism of SAPT, following which a spatially-localized two-body quasiparticle interaction is extracted from the many-body interaction terms. For electrostatics and induction source terms, the relevant quasiparticles are atoms, which are obtained in this work through the iterative stockholder analysis (ISA) procedure. For the exchange, induction response, and dispersion terms, the relevant quasiparticles are local occupied orbitals, which are obtained in this work through the Pipek-Mezey procedure. The local orbital atomic charges obtained from ISA additionally allow the terms involving local orbitals to be assigned in an atom-pairwise manner. Further summation over the atoms of one or the other monomer allows for a chemically intuitive visualization of the contribution of each atom and interaction component to the overall noncovalent interaction strength. Herein, we present the intuitive development and mathematical form for A-SAPT applied in the SAPT0 approximation (the A-SAPT0 partition). We also provide an efficient series of algorithms for the computation of the A-SAPT0 partition with essentially the same computational cost as the corresponding SAPT0 decomposition. We probe the sensitivity of the A-SAPT0 partition to the ISA grid and convergence parameter, orbital localization metric, and induction coupling treatment, and recommend a set of practical choices which closes the definition of the A-SAPT0 partition. We demonstrate the utility and computational tractability of the A-SAPT0 partition in the context of side-on cation-π interactions and the intercalation of DNA by proflavine. A-SAPT0 clearly shows the key processes in these complicated noncovalent interactions, in systems with up to 220 atoms and 2845 basis functions.
