QTP OBJECTIVES Identify and characterize the initial steps in nitramine detonation in the condensed phase. Study the series of molecules, nitramine (gas phase), methyl nitramine(liquid), dimethylnitramine(solid) which have (1) different reaction paths (2) different condensed phase effects Investigate their unimolecular, secondary, and bimolecular reaction mechanisms. Obtain definitive results for the comparative activation barriers for different unimolecular paths including those for RDX. Develop ‘response/dielectric function’ methods to incorporate the condensed phase effects into the quantum mechanical calculations. Provide high-level QM results to facilitate the development of classical PES for large scale simulations. Generate ‘transfer Hamiltonians’ to enable the direct dynamics simulations as a QM complement to classical potentials. University of Florida: Quantum Theory Project

Overview • Immediate goals and methods • Dimethylnitramine • RDX • Other Things We Can Do
Goals of Our Calculations • Provide high quality energies (forces where feasible) at points along various reaction coordinates for testing or fitting of faster methods. • Definitive answers for low energy dissociation reactions of dimethylnitramine (and more reliable ones for RDX). • Use nitramine as a test-case since better methods can be used. (More complete work if desired.) • Environmental effects by including second molecules.
How we do it • DFT: generally good minimum geometries less good for transition states, vdW, ... cheap • CCSD(T): good energies (and other properties) expensive. • Basis set extrapolation: necessary for high quality energies, ... • Single-point energies with basis set extrapolation on DFT/TZ minima and reaction paths.

Properties of the Extrapolation Scheme • Standard deviation 0.75 kcal/mol. • Using small reference molecules saves more expensive calculations. • T2 diagnostic allows judgement of reliability for every molecule! (Max. T2 < 0.15 is good. Calculations with larger T2 may be unreliable.) • Anions need diffuse basis sets in the gas-phase.

A Small Summary • The CBS2Mf+ extrapolation scheme gives enthalpies of formation with an RMS error of 0.75 kcal/mol. • The T2 diagnostic indicates reliability of results. • While riBP86/TZVP is usually within 5-10 kcal/mol of the CBS2Mf results, the shape of the curves may be quite different. • Many reactions have been calculated at the CBS2Mf level, but this work is not yet complete.
Other Things We Can Do • Calculate triplet states (possibly important for strongly deformed geometries). • Use excited state methods (not quite fire and forget).

Singular Value Decomposition Approach toCoupled Cluster Calculations Osamu Hino1, Tomoko Kinoshita2 and Rodney J. Bartlett1Quantum Theory ProjectUniversity of Florida1Graduate University for Advanced Studiesand Institute for Molecular Science, Japan2
Important to exploit another approach Use of Singular Value Decomposition Compressed CC method Background Application of the coupled cluster method to larger systems → several bottlenecks (CPU, Memory, Disk) • Integral direct algorithm • Parallelization of programs • Local Correlation method
Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) (1) • singular values • left singular vectors • right singular vectors
Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) (2) A(l) is the closest rank l matrix to A. SVD is a useful mathematical tool because of this remarkable property. If su (u>l) is nearly equal to zero, we can reconstruct the matrix A without losing much information.
Application of SVD to the Coupled Cluster Doubles (CCD) Amplitude (1) SVD First, we choose an approximate CCD amplitude. The simplest one is MBPT(2) amplitude. We assume the Hartree-Fock reference. The singular values which are less than the threshold are neglected.
Application of SVD to the Coupled Cluster Doubles (CCD) Amplitude (2) We can define the following contracted two-electron creation and annihilation operators according to the SVD of the approximate amplitude. Then we can define the approximate cluster operator.
MBPT(2): Reduced density matrix for Physical meaning of the procedures (1)
Application of SVD to the Coupled Cluster Doubles (CCD) Amplitude (3) The CCD equation becomes, Degrees of freedom of the equation Most expensive term in CCD calculation Integral transformation is required only once.
Improvement of the quality of calculated results Use better approximate amplitude (e.g. MBPT(3)…). Tighten the threshold.
Background ・The CCSD model is one of the most reliable quantum chemical methods. However, it is often necessary to incorporate higher order cluster operators than connected doubles to achieve the chemical accuracy. ・ CCSDT, CCSDTQ, and CCSDTQP are implemented and they produce highly accurate computational results. But they are too expensive to be performed routinely. ・ Perturbative approach such as the CCSD(T) or CCSD(TQ) is one possible solution for this problem. But still there is a problem that the perturbative approaches are stable only in the vicinity of equilibrium molecular geometry.
Purpose of this study To develop theoretical framework including the connected triples (2) accurate (3) less expensive (4) stable under deformed molecular geometry
(1) Apply SVD to the second order triples Compression of the connected triples (2) Create contracted mono-excitation operators (3) Truncate the mono-excitation operator manifold Easy to manipulate T3 amplitude (4) Compressed T3 cluster operator
