In calculations on the I2 molecule we investigated the effect of the different approaches regarding the internal Coulomb matrix used in the ZORA method.

    One-step treatment of spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation in large active spaces Bastien Mussard1, ∗ and Sandeep Sharma1, y 1Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO 80302, USA In this work we demonstrate that the heat bath configuration interaction (HCI) and its semis- tochastic extension can be used to treat relativistic effects and electron correlation on an equal footing in large active spaces to calculate the low energy spectrum of several systems including halogens group atoms (F, Cl, Br, I), coinage atoms (Cu, Au) and the Neptunyl(VI) dioxide radical. This work demonstrates that despite a significant increase in the size of the Hilbert space due to spin symmetry breaking by the spin-orbit coupling terms, HCI retains the ability to discard large parts of the low importance Hilbert space to deliver converged absolute and relative energies. For instance, by using just over 107 determinants we get converged excitation energies for Au atom in an active space containing (150o,25e) which has over 1030 determinants. We also investigate the accuracy of five different two-component relativistic Hamiltonians in which different levels of ap- proximations are made in deriving the one-electron and two-electrons Hamiltonians, ranging from Breit-Pauli (BP) to various flavors of exact two-component (X2C) theory. The relative accuracy of the different Hamiltonians are compared on systems that range in atomic number from first row atoms to actinides. I. INTRODUCTION can become large and it is more appropriate to treat them on an equal footing with the spin-free terms and electron Relativistic effects play an important role in a correlation.

Originally developed to interface different external programs for multi-scale simulation with applications in the materials sciences, PUPIL is finding increasing use in the study of complex biological systems. Advanced MD techniques from the external packages can be applied readily to a hybrid QM/MM treatment in which the forces and energy for the QM region can be computed by any of the QM methods available in any of the other external packages. Here we give a survey of PUPIL design philosophy, main features, and key implementation decisions, with an orientation to biomolecular simulation. We discuss recently implemented features which enable highly realistic simulations of complex biological systems which have more than one active site that must be treated concurrently.
