PS4Education Jupyter Labs Prerequisites

Some of the PSI4Education labs are presented as jupyter notebooks. Learn more about using jupyter notebooks here. The following Python scripting skills are assumed as prerequisite knowledge. Any other Python data structures or skills needed are explained within the lab. importing libraries assigning variables recasting data types slices and lists for loops logic statements print statements graphing data with matplotlib pyplot If you need tutorials on these Python skills, we recommend these lessons from the Molecular Sciences Software Institute.

Psi4Education

Psi4Education: Computational Labs Using Free Software Computational chemistry is an increasingly important part of modern research, and yet it is often not part of the typical undergraduate or graduate curriculum. Fortunately, the availability of free software like PSI4 and WebMO lowers the barrier to introducing computational chemistry laboratory modules. The labs below were created using only free software and are available for use in your classes. Getting Started Installation and Setup Guide Instruction for installing WebMO and PSI4, along with information about creating and administering user accounts.

History

The Psi package originated in the group of Prof. Henry F. Schaefer while he was at the University of California, Berkeley. The code featured a direct CI code (written in 1976 by Robert Lucchese), a graphical unitary group configuration interaction (GUGA-CI) code (written in 1977-79 by Bernard Brooks and later extended to the shape-driven GUGA-CI code by Paul Saxe), and a Gaussian integral code (written in 1978 by Russell Pitzer).

Developers' Conference 2015 — Emory

Meeting Summary The meeting was held Friday and Saturday, Nov 13-14, at Emory featuring participants from 7 institutions. 36 people attended in person at Emory. The following are outcomes of the meeting: The Ambit library seems to be working well for shared-memory systems. We will attempt to adopt Ambit for tensors in shared-memory and distributed-memory environments. We will aim to adopt Lightspeed when it becomes available. The Lightspeed classes can serve as a template for communications between modules in Psi4.
