Abstract

We review the current status of quantum chemistry as a predictive tool of chemistry and molecular physics, capable of providing highly accurate, quantitative data about molecular systems. We begin by reviewing wave-function based electronic-structure theory, emphasizing the N-electron hierarchy of coupled-cluster theory and the one-electron hierarchy of correlation-consistent basis sets. Following a discussion of the slow basis-set convergence of dynamical correlation and basis-set extrapolations, we consider the methods of explicit correlation, from the early work of Hylleraas in the 1920s to the latest developments in such methods, capable of yielding high-accuracy results in medium-sized basis sets. Next, we consider the small corrections to the electronic energy (high-order virtual excitations, vibrational, relativistic, and diagonal Born–Oppenheimer corrections) needed for high accuracy and conclude with a review of the composite methods and computational protocols of electronic-structure theory.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
