PSI (computational chemistry)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PSI is a computational chemistry package originally written by the research group of Henry F. Schaefer, III (University of Georgia).

PSI3 is the latest release of the program package. PSI3 is open source, released free, under the GPL through SourceForge. It performs high-accuracy quantum computations on small to medium-sized molecules.

PSI3's current capabilities include Hartree-Fock, coupled cluster, complete-active-space self-consistent-field, and multi-reference configuration interaction methods. Several methods are available for computing excited electronic states, including configuration interaction singles (CIS), the random phase approximation (RPA), and equation-of-motion coupled cluster (EOM-CCSD). PSI3 also includes the explicitly-correlated MP2-R12 method and the ability to compute the Born-Oppenheimer diagonal correction using configuration interaction wavefunctions.

Primary development is currently conducted by Daniel Crawford (Virginia Tech), David Sherrill (Georgia Tech), Edward Valeev (Virginia Tech), and Rollin King (Bethel University).
