Orbital Optimization and Neural-Network-Assisted Configuration Interaction Calculations of Rydberg States

Gianluca Levi, Max Kroesbergen, Louis Thirion +5

Rydberg excited states of molecules pose a challenge for electronic structure calculations because of their highly diffuse electron distribution. Even large and elaborate atomic ba…
