On Friday (April 5), the MolSSI QCArchive/OpenFF server logged over 1.09 million completed calculations in 24 hours--over 12 per sec, for creating better forcefields by @openforcefield. što the National Research Platform for supplying all the compute for this important endeavor!
This yearās Psi4 Developersā Conference, PsiCon 2022, will take place in Blacksburg, VA, on Dec 9 and 10 at the Inn at Virginia Tech. Registration is available at the Psi website.

We are highlighting talks/tutorials from MolSSIās recent workshop on HPC in Computational Chemistry & Materials Science. The first is from @LoriMBurns on "11 Simplifying Multilevel Quantum Chemistry Procedures through Psi4 and QCArchive."

...and our force fields can now be entirely derived using open source software. Many thanks to software infrastructure from @openforcefield@openmm_toolkit@PSI_Code@MolSSI_NSF and many others for making this possible!
We've been doing very large numbers of QM calculations to create data sets for AI models to facilitate force field development. Finding @PSI_Code to be of great utility for these calculations.
Explicit correlation for quantum algorithms: Philipp Schleich has explored and implemented Kong and Valeev's [2]-R12 within tequila. Either with MRA orbitals through madness or standard basis sets through @PSI_Code . arxiv.org/abs/2110.06812. With @A_Aspuru_Guzik
I am so excited and honored to be joining the MolSSI Board of Directors! The MolSSI Education mission is critical for the ongoing and future success of the computational molecular science discipline, and I am really excited to be contributing to this vital work!
The MolSSI is thrilled to announce that Ashley Ringer McDonald @CalPoly is joining the Board of Directors as Co-director for Education, Training, and Faculty Development! Working with @jessica_a_nash, @ARingerMcDonald will further strengthen the MolSSIās educational outreach.
Also @PSI_Code has some great notebooks already too (github.com/psi4/psi4numpy). I'd also recommend cclib for reading output, and orbkit or Horton (gbasis, etc.) for orbitals, density, etc.
I haven't taught Python for undergrad quantum but to viz Ļ and Ļ*Ļ volumes
On Wednesday afternoon at #ACSFall2021, Ryan Fortenberry will be talking about our Psi4Education program. Itās a hybrid session so you can join in-person or virtually!
We used metadynamics simulations to generate three diverse conformers per molecule and optimized the structures using the GFN2-xTB semi-empirical method. DFT properties were calculated using the open-source @PSI_Code. (3/5)
This. Psi4 python with tutorials is great - too many students (and academics) think QM is a magic black box. Step by step development and seeing the matricies really demystify the process.
Method selection/ data processing can come after
We are planning something similar for our Introduction to Electronic Structure methods course and we'll be most likely using @PSI_Code and JupyterBook. They also have some inspiration notebooks available under free license: github.com/Psi4Education/psiā¦
