- We present the implementation of an efficient matrix-folded formalism for the evaluation of complex response functions and the calculation of transition properties at the level of the second-order algebraic-diagrammatic construction (ADC(2)) scheme. The underlying algorithms, in combination with the adopted hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallelization strategy, enabled calculations of the UV/vis spectra of a guanine oligomer series ranging up to 1032 contracted basis functions, thereby utilizing vast computational resources from up to 32,768 CPU cores. Further analysis of the convergence behavior of the involved iterative subspace algorithms revealed the superiority of a frequency-separated treatment of response equations even for a large spectral window, including 101 frequencies. We demonstrate the applicability to general quantum mechanical operators by the first reported electronic circular dichroism spectrum calculated with a complex polarization propagator approach at the ADC(2) level of theory.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The eChem project features an e-book published as a web page (10.30746/978-91-988114-0-7), collecting a repository of Jupyter notebooks developed for the dual purpose of explaining and exploring the theory underlying computational chemistry in a highly interactive manner as well as providing a tutorial-based presentation of the complex workflows needed to simulate embedded molecular systems of real biochemical and/or technical interest. For students ranging from beginners to advanced users, the eChem book is well suited for self-directed learning, but workshops led by experienced instructors and targeting student bodies with specific needs and interests can readily be formed from its components. This has been done by using eChem as the base for a workshop directed toward graduate students learning the theory and practices of quantum chemistry, resulting in very positive assessment of the interactive nature of this framework. The members of the eChem team are engaged in both education and research, and as a mirroring activity, we develop the open-source software upon which this e-book is predominantly based. The overarching vision and goal of our work is to provide a science- and education-enabling software platform for quantum molecular modeling on contemporary and future high-performance computing systems, and to document the resulting development and workflows in the eChem book.

Solving response expressions in the ADC/ISR framework

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present an implementation for the calculation of molecular response properties using the algebraic-diagrammatic construction (ADC)/intermediate state representation approach. For the second-order ADC model [ADC(2)], a memory-efficient ansatz avoiding the storage of double excitation amplitudes is investigated. We compare the performance of different numerical algorithms for the solution of the underlying response equations for ADC(2) and show that our approach also strongly improves the convergence behavior for the investigated algorithms compared with the standard implementation. All routines are implemented in an open-source Python library.
