Extension of the CIPSI-Driven CC($P$;$Q$) Approach to Excited Electronic States

Abstract

We extend the CIPSI-driven CC($P$;$Q$) methodology [K. Gururangan et al., J. Chem. Phys. 155 (2021) 174114], in which the leading higher-than-doubly excited determinants are identified using the selected configuration interaction (CI) approach abbreviated as CIPSI, to excited electronic states via the equation-of-motion (EOM) coupled-cluster (CC) formalism. By examining vertical excitations in CH+ at equilibrium and stretched geometries, adiabatic excitations in CH, and ground- and excited-state potential cuts of water, we demonstrate that the CIPSI-driven CC($P$;$Q$) method converges parent CC/EOMCC singles, doubles, and triples energetics from relatively inexpensive Hamiltonian diagonalizations in CI spaces smaller than the corresponding triples manifolds.
