Original Input File System - Open-Quantum-Platform/openqp GitHub Wiki

The input file of OQP utilizes the Python ini-style config. (https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html) Input is divided into several groups:

  • [input] Group: Description of the molecular system and Quantum Chemical method
KEYWORD Description
system Atomic Numbers and XYZ coordinate
charge Charge of the system (default: 0)
multiplicity Spin multiplicity for SCF (default=1)
basis Basis Sets. Any basis sets in basis_sets sub-folder can be used.
method Quantum theory (default=HF) Available methods are HF and TDHF
functional The exchange-correlation (XC) functional for DFT. Virtually most of XC functionals of libXC can be used.
runtype energy (default) or gradient
  • [guess] Group: Initial guess
KEYWORD Description
guess huckel (default) or hcore
file The path and file name of converged MO
  • [scf] Group: Options of Self-Consistent Field methods of HF and DFT
KEYWORD Description
type rhf, rohf and uhf
maxit Maximum iteration of SCF (default: 30)
conv Convergency Creteria of SCF (default: 1.0e-6)
incremental Incremental Fock Build (default: true)
properties Atomic charges (Mulliken, Lodin) and Moments (el_mom)
gradient Calculating gradient (default: false)
save_molden Saving molden file (default: true)
  • [tdhf] Group: Options of linear response theories such as TDDFT, SF-TDDFT and MRSF-TDDFT
