Striving to define very accurate vertical transition energies, we perform both high-level coupled cluster (CC) calculations (up to CCSDTQP) and selected configuration interaction (sCI) calculations (up to several millions of determinants)…
For a given electronic excited state, the 0-0 energy ($T_0$ or $T_{00}$) is the simplest property allowing straightforward and physically-sound comparisons between theory and (accurate) experiment. However, the computation of 0-0 energies…
We employ quantum Monte Carlo to obtain chemically accurate vertical and adiabatic excitation energies, and equilibrium excited-state structures for the small, yet challenging, formaldehyde and thioformaldehyde molecules. A key ingredient…
We report the first investigation of the performance of EOM-CC4 -- an approximate equation-of-motion coupled-cluster model which includes iterative quadruple excitations -- for vertical excitation energies in molecular systems. By…
Following our previous work focussing on compounds containing up to 3 non-hydrogen atoms [\emph{J. Chem. Theory Comput.} {\bfseries 14} (2018) 4360--4379], we present here highly-accurate vertical transition energies obtained for 27…
To expand the existing QUEST database of accurate vertical transition energies [\href{https://doi.org/10.1002/wcms.1517}{V\'eril et al.~\textit{WIREs Comput.~Mol.~Sci.} \textbf{2021}, \textit{11}, e1517}], we have modeled more than 100…
Accurate prediction of adiabatic $0$-$0$ excited-state energies is crucial for modeling molecular photophysical processes. Here, we benchmark computational strategies for evaluating excited-state energies and singlet-triplet gaps obtained…
In the framework of the computational determination of highly-accurate vertical excitation energies in small organic compounds, we explore the possibilities offered by the equation-of-motion formalism relying on the approximate fourth-order…
Pursuing our efforts to define highly-accurate estimates of the relative energies of excited states in organic molecules, we investigate, with coupled-cluster methods including iterative triples (CC3 and CCSDT), the vertical excitation…
The search for new \emph{ab initio} models rapidly delivering accurate excited state energies and properties is one of the most active research lines of theoretical chemistry. Along with these methodological developments, the performances…
Excited states exhibiting double excitation character are notoriously difficult to model using conventional single-reference methods, such as adiabatic time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) or equation-of-motion coupled cluster…
Core-electron x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is a powerful technique for studying the electronic structure and chemical composition of molecules, solids and surfaces. However, the interpretation of measured spectra and the assignment of…
By combining extrapolated selected configuration interaction (sCI) energies obtained with the CIPSI (Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection made Iteratively) algorithm with the recently proposed short-range…
The study of isolated defects in solids is a natural target for classical or quantum embedding methods that treat the defect at a high level of theory and the rest of the solid at a lower level of theory. Here, in the context of…
To expand the QUEST database of highly-accurate vertical transition energies, we consider a series of large organic chromogens ubiquitous in dye chemistry, such as anthraquinone, azobenzene, BODIPY, and naphthalimide. We compute, at the CC3…
Aiming at completing the sets of FCI-quality transition energies that we recently developed (\textit{J.~Chem.~Theory Comput.} \textbf{14} (2018) 4360--4379, \textit{ibid.}~\textbf{15} (2019) 1939--1956, and \textit{ibid.}~\textbf{16} (2020)…
Coupled-cluster theory with single and double excitations (CCSD) is a promising ab initio method for the electronic structure of three-dimensional metals, for which second-order perturbation theory (MP2) diverges in the thermodynamic limit.…
We provide an overview of the successive steps that made possible to obtain increasingly accurate excitation energies with computational chemistry tools, eventually leading to chemically accurate vertical transition energies for small- and…
Methods able to simultaneously account for both static and dynamic electron correlations have often been employed, not only to model photochemical events, but also to provide reference values for vertical transition energies, hence allowing…
We scrutinize the performance of different variants of equation of motion coupled cluster (EOM-CC) methods to predict electronic excitation energies and excited state potential energy surfaces in closed-shell actinide species. We focus our…
