We extend our recently developed heat-bath configuration interaction (HCI) algorithm, and our semistochastic algorithm for performing multireference perturbation theory, to calculate excited-state wavefunctions and energies. We employ time-reversal symmetry, which reduces the memory requirements by more than a factor of two. An extrapolation technique is introduced to reliably extrapolate HCI energies to the full CI limit. The resulting algorithm is used to compute fourteen low-lying potential energy surfaces of the carbon dimer using the cc-pV5Z basis set, with an estimated error in energy of 30-50 μHa compared to full CI. The excitation energies obtained using our algorithm have a mean absolute deviation of 0.02 eV compared to experimental values.
我们扩展了我们最近开发的热浴组态相互作用(HCI)算法,以及我们用于执行多参考微扰理论的半随机算法,以计算激发态波函数和能量。我们利用时间反演对称性,将内存需求减少了两倍以上。引入了外推技术,可可靠地将 HCI 能量外推到完全 CI 极限。所得到的算法用于计算碳二聚体的十四个低势能表面,使用 cc-pV5Z 基组,与完全 CI 相比,能量的估计误差为 30-50 μHa。与实验值相比,我们算法获得的激发能的平均绝对偏差为 0.02 eV。
