Theoretical Methods: SCF to FCI¶
Several electronic structure methods are available in the Psi4 package, from Hartree–Fock molecular orbital theory to coupled-cluster theory to full configuration interaction. This section introduces the methods available and some of their most common input parameters. A complete list of standard keywords is provided in Appendix Keywords by Module.
