Specific developments discussed include fast methods for density functional theory calculations, linear scaling evaluation of energies, NMR chemical shifts and electric properties, fast auxiliary basis function methods for correlated energies and gradients, equation-of-motion coupled cluster methods for ground and excited states, geminal wavefunctions, embedding methods and techniques for exploring potential energy surfaces.
Abstract
Advances in theory and algorithms for electronic structure calculations must be incorporated into program packages to enable them to become routinely used by the broader chemical community. This work reviews advances made over the past five years or so that constitute the major improvements contained in a new release of the Q-Chem quantum chemistry package, together with illustrative timings and applications. Specific developments discussed include fast methods for density functional theory calculations, linear scaling evaluation of energies, NMR chemical shifts and electric properties, fast auxiliary basis function methods for correlated energies and gradients, equation-of-motion coupled cluster methods for ground and excited states, geminal wavefunctions, embedding methods and techniques for exploring potential energy surfaces.

The limits of local correlation theory: Electronic delocalization and chemically smooth potential energy surfaces

TL;DR: It is found that, by accounting for the spatial extent of a delocalized orbital, one can account for electronic correlation in systems with some electronic delocalization using fast correlation methods designed around orbital locality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pseudospectral time-dependent density functional theory.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that exceptionally sparse grids may be used in the excitation energy calculation, following earlier work employing the pseudospectral approximation for determining correlation energies in wavefunction-based methods with similar conclusions.

Calculation of transition dipole moment in fluorescent proteins—towards efficient energy transfer

TL;DR: Time-dependent density functional theory methods are used to calculate the TDM for a comprehensive list of commonly used fluorescent proteins and suggest an empirical rule that can be used to obtain the TDMs for newly developed fluorescent proteins in the future.

Geminal model chemistry. IV. Variational and size consistent pure spin states.

TL;DR: A computationally inexpensive method that yields ground state wave functions of pure spin symmetry based on the recently introduced partially spin restricted geminal wave functions with limited spin contamination is presented.

Benchmarking the Performance of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory Methods on Biochromophores.

TL;DR: It is found that commonly used pure density functionals such as BP86, PBE, M11-L and hybrid functionals with 20%-25% of Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange have a tendency to consistently underestimating vertical excitation energies (VEE) relative to the CC2 values, whereas hybrid density functional with around 50% HF exchange as well as long-range corrected functionals, such as CAM-B3LYP, ωPBE, �

Density‐functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical exchange correlation functional with local spin density, gradient, and exact exchange terms was proposed. But this functional performed significantly better than previous functionals with gradient corrections only, and fits experimental atomization energies with an impressively small average absolute deviation of 2.4 kcal/mol.

Gaussian basis sets for use in correlated molecular calculations. I. The atoms boron through neon and hydrogen

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of correlation effects in the oxygen atom was conducted, and it was shown that primitive basis sets of primitive Gaussian functions effectively and efficiently describe correlation effects.
