Analytic gradient for DLPNO-CCSD
Note that the DLPNO method is only implemented in ORCA. There are indeed analogous and similarly efficient and accurate methods, the PNO-LCCSD method in Molpro [doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.7b00799] and ...

How to calculate homolytic bond dissociation energies?
Multi-reference or single-reference?
While it is appreciated that near dissociation there will be a near-degeneracy of orbitals, requiring a multi-reference treatment, fortunately we don't have to ...

What is the largest system that has been studied by the coupled cluster method?
I’ll expand on this later but here is the abbreviated version.
CTF
The CTF code can do very large iterative CCSD and CCSDT using a dense spin-orbital formalism.
CCSD up to 55 (50) water molecules ...

How is "basis set projection" done?
What you're describing is very common, and is not limited to GAMESS and Q-Chem.
First, here's how to do it in MOLPRO, MRCC, GAMESS, Q-Chem (in fact the only electronic structure software that I ...

What are Pair Natural Orbitals?
I think Nike has answered to all questions adequately enough. I am sharing my understanding as one of the developers of the PNO-based local coupled-cluster (CC) methods, codes for computing response ...

What are Pair Natural Orbitals?
I'll answer each of your three questions separately, but the one you say is "most important" will go first 😊
And most importantly, why are they used for correlation calculation?
They can ...

Analytic gradient for DLPNO-CCSD
As far as I know, analytic gradients for DLPNO-CCSD are not available in ORCA. Analytic first derivatives are available for both closed-shell and high-spin open-shell cases, which could be used for ...

Calculate initial energy
Perform homolytic bond cleavage and separate fragments
Calculate energies of the fragments, add the energies together
Calculate ...

What is the largest system that has been studied by the coupled cluster method?
Localized natural orbitals methods allow tackling huge system sizes; some links were already given above. Of course, the accuracy remains sometimes a question in such methods: the methods rely on ...

How is "basis set projection" done?
Supplementing Nike's answer above.. This is actually quite elementary math. Let's say I have an orbital in a basis
$|\psi\rangle = \sum_i c_i |i\rangle$ and I want to find the expansion in some other ...

How to calculate homolytic bond dissociation energies?
One thing the other answers haven't mentioned is the zero point and thermal corrections to the BDE.
As mentioned in the Wikipedia Morse potential article, a geometry optimization will take you, by ...

Which programs can calculate corrections to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation?
CFOUR + MRCC
You asked about MOLPRO and Psi4. As recently as 2021, DBOC (diagonal Born-Oppenheimer correction) wasn't implemented in Psi4. The same is true for MOLPRO. No other types of Born-...

MRCC/CFOUR interface bug for a single atom calculation?
