PSI is an ab initio computational chemistry package originally written by the research group of Henry F. Schaefer, III (University of Georgia). It performs high-accuracy quantum computations on small to medium-sized molecules.

PSI3 is the latest release of the program package.

- it is open source, released as free under the GPL through SourceForge.

The basic capabilities of PSI are concentrated around the following methods of quantum chemistry:

Package highlights include:
  • Arbitrarily high angular momentum levels in integrals and derivative integrals. (Up to m-type functions have been tested.)
  • Coupled cluster methods including CC2, CCSD, CCSD(T), and CC3 with RHF, ROHF, UHF, and Brueckner orbitals.
  • Determinant-based CI including CASSCF, RAS-CI, and Full CI.
  • Multithreaded integral-direct SCF, MP2, and MP2-R12.
  • Excited state methods: CIS, CIS(D), RPA, EOM-CCSD, and CC3.
  • Analytic energy gradients for CCSD with RHF, ROHF, and UHF orbitals.
  • Coupled cluster linear response methods for static and dynamic polarizabilities and optical rotation.
  • Diagonal Born-Oppenheimer correction (DBOC) for RHF, ROHF, UHF, and CI wave functions.

Available Platforms for PSI3


All PSI3 downloads are handled by Sourceforge.

PSI3 is designed for use on any UNIX-like system. The latest official release has been tested in the following environments:
  • Linux on x86, x86_64, IA64 (Itanium2), and PPC
  • Mac OS X (Darwin) on PPC (G4 and G5) and Intel processors (MacPro)
  • SGI Altix
  • IBM AIX 5.x on PPC

For more information on prerequisites and how to compile PSI3 refer to the installation manual.
