What are the limitations of FCI?
I am aware of the fact that Full Configuration Interaction scales poorly. Taking into account that the number of $n$-times excited Slater determinants of an $N$-particle System with $M$ basis ...

FCI without Hartree-Fock
Recently, I came across some lecture notes on electronic structure theory which had something peculiar about it. I noticed that FCI (configuration interaction) was introduced before Hartree-Fock ...

Analytic Hessian at the level of full CI?
This is a follow-up question to my previous question: Computing analytic derivatives of molecular Hamiltonians obtained from solving Hartree-Fock equations.
After looking at various quantum chemistry ...

How to calculate FCI matrix elements from an FCIDUMP file
I'm interested in writing a simple program (as an exercise) that takes an FCIDUMP file (e.g. from a Molpro calculation) and can determine FCI matrix elements (e.g. to construct the entire FCI matrix ...

Orbitals in full CI and DFT with true functional
Is there any paper that proves/disproves that the occupied orbitals obtained using full Configuration Interaction (CI) are the same as the orbitals obtained using DFT (assuming we use the exact ...

How accurate are the most accurate calculations?
Taking into account the fact that the theory of quantum gravity does not exist and the QED calculations are not possible for most realistic chemical systems, what levels of accuracy can we expect from ...
