Coupled Cluster Methods

The coupled cluster approach is one of the most accurate and reliable quantum chemical techniques for including the effects of electron correlation. PSI3 is capable of computing energies, analytic gradients, and linear response properties using a number of coupled cluster models. Table 8 summarizes these capabilities. This section describes how to carry out coupled cluster calculations within PSI3.
