Abstract
A historical sketch of the MCD (magnetic circular dichroism) spectroscopy is reported in its experimental and theoretical aspects. MCPL (magnetic circularly polarized luminescence) is also considered. The main studies are presented encompassing porphyrinoid systems, aggregates and materials, as well as simple organic molecules useful for the advancement of the interpretation. The MCD of chiral systems is discussed with special attention to new studies of natural products with potential pharmaceutical valence, including Amaryllidaceae alkaloids and related isocarbostyrils. Finally, the vibrational form of MCD, called MVCD, which is recorded in the IR part of the spectrum is also discussed. A final brief note on perspectives is given.

Abstract
Following changes in chirality can give access to relevant information on the function or reactivity of molecular systems. Time-resolved circular dichroism (TRCD) spectroscopy proves to be a valid tool to achieve this goal. Depending on the class of molecules, different temporal ranges, spanning from seconds to femtoseconds, need to be investigated to observe such chiroptical changes. Therefore, over the years, several approaches have been adopted to cover the timescale of interest, especially based on pump-probe schemes. Moreover, various theoretical approaches have been proposed to simulate and explain TRCD spectra, including linear and non-linear response methods as well as non-adiabatic molecular dynamics. In this review, an overview on both experimental and theoretical advances in the TRCD field is provided, together with selected applications. A discussion on future theoretical developments for TRCD is also given.

Abstract
Nuclear spin-induced circular dichroism (NSCD) is a molecular effect of differential absorption of left- and right-circularly polarized light due to nuclear spins in the molecule. In this work, new tools for its calculation are presented. Specifically, analytic expressions for the computation of the K term of NSCD have been derived and implemented for the second-order coupled cluster singles and doubles (CC2) model. NSCD results obtained thereby for three derivatives of azobenzenes have been compared with results from time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). The complementary information that could be obtained from NSCD measurements compared to NMR for these three species is discussed.

Abstract
Coupled cluster response theory offers a path to high-accuracy calculations of spectroscopic properties, such as magnetic circular dichroism (MCD). However, divergence or slow convergence issues are often encountered for electronic transitions in high-energy regions with a high density of states. This is here addressed for MCD by an implementation of damped quadratic response theory for resolution-of-identity coupled cluster singles-and-approximate-doubles (RI-CC2), along with an implementation of the MCD A term from resonant response theory. Combined, damped and resonant response theory calculations provide an efficient strategy to obtain MCD spectra over a broad frequency range and for systems that include highly symmetric molecules with degenerate excited states. The protocol is illustrated by application to zinc tetrabenzoporphyrin in the energy region of 2-8 eV and comparison to experimental data. Timings are reported for the resonant and damped approaches, showing that a greater part of the calculation time is consumed by the construction of the building blocks for the final MCD ellipticity. A recommendation on how to use the procedure is outlined.

Abstract
Major advances in X-ray sources including the development of circularly polarized and orbital angular momentum pulses make it possible to probe matter chirality at unprecedented energy regimes and with Ångström and femtosecond spatiotemporal resolutions. We survey the theory of stationary and time-resolved nonlinear chiral measurements that can be carried out in the X-ray regime using tabletop X-ray sources or large scale (XFEL, synchrotron) facilities. A variety of possible signals and their information content are discussed.

Abstract
Calculations of first-order response wave functions in the X-ray regime often diverge within correlated frameworks such as equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD), a consequence of the coupling with the valence ionization continuum. Here, we extend our strategy of introducing a hierarchy of approximations to the EOM-EE-CCSD resolvent (or, inversely, the model Hamiltonian) involved in the response equations for the calculation of X-ray two-photon absorption (X2PA) cross sections. We exploit the frozen-core core-valence separation (fc-CVS) scheme to first decouple the core and valence Fock spaces, followed by a separate approximate treatment of the valence resolvent. We demonstrate the robust convergence of X-ray response calculations within this framework and compare X2PA spectra of small benchmark molecules with the previously reported density functional theory results.

Abstract
Excited-state calculations in finite magnetic fields are presented in the framework of spin-noncollinear linear-response time-dependent density functional theory. To ensure gauge-origin invariance, London atomic orbitals are employed throughout. An efficient implementation into the Turbomole package, which also includes the resolution of the identity approximation, allows for the investigation of excited states of large molecular systems. The implementation is used to investigate the magnetic circular dichroism spectra of sizable organometallic molecules such as a zinc tetraazaporphyrin with two fused naphthalene units, which is a molecule with 57 atoms.

Abstract
We present several strategies for computing electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectra across different frequency ranges at the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles level of theory. CD spectra of both ground and electronically excited states are discussed. For selected cases, the approach is compared with coupled-cluster linear response results as well as time-dependent density functional theory. The extension of the theory to include the effect of spin-orbit coupling is presented and illustrated by calculations of X-ray CD spectra at the L-edge.

Abstract
An implementation of a complex solver for the solution of the linear equations required to compute the complex response functions of damped response theory is presented for the resolution-of-identity (RI) coupled cluster singles and approximate doubles (CC2) method. The implementation uses a partitioned formulation that avoids the storage of double excitation amplitudes to make it applicable to large molecules. The solver is the keystone element for the development of the damped coupled cluster response formalism for linear and nonlinear effects in resonant frequency regions at the RI-CC2 level of theory. Illustrative results are reported for the one-photon absorption cross section of C60, the electronic circular dichroism of n-helicenes (n = 5, 6, 7), and the C6 dispersion coefficients of a set of selected organic molecules and fullerenes.

Abstract
The UV-vis absorption and magnetic circular dichroism spectra of naphthalene and some of its derivatives have been simulated at the Coupled Cluster Singles and Approximate Doubles (CC2) level of theory, and at the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) level using the B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP functionals. DFT and CC2 predict in general opposite energetic ordering of the Lb and La transitions (in gas phase), as previously observed in adenine. The CC2 simulations of UV and MCD spectra show the best agreement with the experimental data. Analysis of the Cartesian components of the electric dipole transition strengths and the magnetic dipole transition moment between the excited states have been considered in the interpretation of the electronic transitions and the Faraday B term inversion among the naphthalene derivatives.
