ElemCo.jl: A Julia package for electron-correlation methods

We present ElemCo.jl, an open-source Julia package for molecular electronic structure and properties calculations with a particular emphasis on Coupled Cluster and Distinguishable Cluster methods. The package provides a high-level, macro-based user interface which makes routine calculations accessible to users with no prior Julia experience. A newly developed visualizer, JLmol, assists in the graphical preparation of ElemCo.jl input files and displays results such as molecular orbitals. ElemCo.jl offers restricted closed-shell and unrestricted variants of state-of-the-art electron-correlation methods such as FCI, MP2, CCSD(T) as well as EOM-CCSD and the DC methods DCSD and DC-CCSDT. In addition to traditional approaches, ElemCo.jl provides recently developed methods that are currently unique to the package. These include tensor-decomposed implementations of DCSD and DC-CCSDT (SVD-DCSD and SVD-DC-CCSDT) as well as two-determinant and fixed-reference CC and DC methods. For excited-state calculations, ElemCo.jl also offers EOM-DCSD, which is benchmarked in this work against CC3 on the QUEST3 benchmark set, alongside EOM-CCSD. Furthermore, both ground and excited states, including those of multireference character, can be treated using CIPHI - an efficient selected Configuration Interaction (CI) approach employing a CIPSI/Heat-Bath-CI-based algorithm. Users can directly invoke internal functions from the input file, enabling them to test and compose new methods without the need to modify ElemCo.jl's source code. Also, ElemCo.jl can be readily interfaced with external quantum chemistry codes through the Fcidump format, for example as the high-level solver for transcorrelated Hamiltonians, periodic embedded fragments, etc. We provide a detailed overview of ElemCo.jl's methodological repertoire and discuss its technical details and implementation, performance, interfaces, and usage.
