Non-Orthogonal Configuration Interaction for Fragments

Abstract

An overview is given of the non-orthogonal configuration interaction (NOCI) implementation in the open-source program GronOR. After pointing out the specifics of NOCI and its extension to ensembles of molecules NOCI-Fragments (NOCI-F), the theoretical foundations of the approaches are described. The introduction of a common molecular orbital basis, the selection of the most contributing determinants pairs, and a massively parallel and GPU-accelerated implementation have made possible the application of NOCI to medium-sized systems as illustrated in a short overview of some of the recent applications.
