We introduce natural transition geminals as a means to qualitatively understand a transition where double excitations are important. The first two $A_{1}$ singlet states of the CH cation are used as an initial example. We calculate these states with configuration interaction singles (CIS) and state-averaged Monte Carlo configuration interaction (SA-MCCI). For each method we compare the important natural transition geminals with the dominant natural transition orbitals. We then compare SA-MCCI and full configuration interaction (FCI) with regards to the natural transition geminals using the beryllium atom. We compare using the natural transition geminals with analyzing the important configurations in the CI expansion to give the dominant transition for the beryllium atom and the carbon dimer. Finally we calculate the natural transition geminals for two electronic excitations of formamide.

The electronically excited states of methylene (CH$_2$), ethylene (C$_2$H$_4$), butadiene (C$_4$H$_6$), hexatriene (C$_6$H$_8$), and ozone (O$_3$) have long proven challenging due to their complex mixtures of static and dynamic correlations. Semistoc hastic heat-bath configuration interaction (SHCI), which efficiently and systematically approaches the full configuration interaction (FCI) limit, is used to provide close approximations to the FCI energies in these systems. This article presents the largest FCI-level calculation to date -- on hexatriene using a polarized double-zeta basis (ANO-L-pVDZ), which gives rise to a Hilbert space containing more than $10^{38}$ determinants. These calculations give vertical excitation energies of 5.58 and 5.59 eV respectively for the $2^1{rm A}_{rm g}$ and $1^1{rm B}_{rm u}$ states, showing that they are nearly degenerate. The same excitation energies in butadiene/ANO-L-pVDZ were found to be 6.58 and 6.45 eV. In addition to these benchmarks, our calculations strongly support the presence of a previously hypothesized ring-minimum species of ozone that lies 1.3 eV higher than the open-ring minimum energy structure and is separated from it by a barrier of 1.11 eV.
Approximate natural orbitals are investigated as a way to improve a Monte Carlo configuration interaction (MCCI) calculation. We introduce a way to approximate the natural orbitals in MCCI and test these and approximate natural orbitals from MP2 and QCISD in MCCI calculations of single-point energies. The efficiency and accuracy of approximate natural orbitals in MCCI potential curve calculations for the double hydrogen dissociation of water, the dissociation of carbon monoxide and the dissociation of the nitrogen molecule are then considered in comparison with standard MCCI when using full configuration interaction as a benchmark. We also use the method to produce a potential curve for water in an aug-cc-pVTZ basis. A new way to quantify the accuracy of a potential curve is put forward that takes into account all of the points and that the curve can be shifted by a constant. We adapt a second-order perturbation scheme to work with MCCI (MCCIPT2) and improve the efficiency of the removal of duplicate states in the method. MCCIPT2 is tested in the calculation of a potential curve for the dissociation of nitrogen using both Slater determinants and configuration state functions.
We introduce vibrational heat-bath configuration interaction (VHCI) as an accurate and efficient method for calculating vibrational eigenstates of anharmonic systems. Inspired by its origin in electronic structure theory, VHCI is a selected CI approa ch that uses a simple criterion to identify important basis states with a pre-sorted list of anharmonic force constants. Screened second-order perturbation theory and simple extrapolation techniques provide significant improvements to variational energy estimates. We benchmark VHCI on four molecules with 12 to 48 degrees of freedom and use anharmonic potential energy surfaces truncated at fourth and sixth order. For all molecules studied, VHCI produces vibrational spectra of tens or hundreds of states with sub-wavenumber accuracy at low computational cost.
We extend our recently-developed heat-bath configuration interaction (HCI) algorithm, and our semistochastic algorithm for performing multireference perturbation theory, to the calculation of excited-state wavefunctions and energies. We employ time-r eversal 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 the twelve lowest-lying potential energy surfaces of the carbon dimer using the cc-pV5Z basis set, with an estimated error in energy of 30-50 {mu}Ha compared to Full CI. The excitation energies obtained using our algorithm have a mean absolute deviation of 0.02 eV compared to experimental values. We also calculate the complete active-space (CAS) energies of the S0, S1, and T0 states of tetracene, which are of relevance to singlet fission, by fully correlating active spaces as large as 18 electrons in 36 orbitals.

The concept of machine learning configuration interaction (MLCI) [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2018, 14, 5739], where an artificial neural network (ANN) learns on the fly to select important configurations, is further developed so that accurate ab initio potential energy curves can be efficiently calculated. This development includes employing the artificial neural network also as a hash function for the efficient deletion of duplicates on the fly so that the singles and doubles space does not need to be stored and this barrier to scalability is removed. In addition configuration state functions are introduced into the approach so that pure spin states are guaranteed, and the transferability of data between geometries is exploited. This improved approach is demonstrated on potential energy curves for the nitrogen molecule, water, and carbon monoxide. The results are compared with full configuration interaction values, when available, and different transfer protocols are investigated. It is shown that, for all of the considered systems, accurate potential energy curves can now be efficiently computed with MLCI. For the potential curves of N$_{2}$ and CO, MLCI can achieve lower errors than stochastically selecting configurations while also using substantially less processor hours.
