Methodology

* Relativistic Quantum Chemistry Calculations
Supports four-component relativistic calculations, quasi-relativistic two-component calculations such as X2C, and one-component non-relativistic calculations.

* Electron Correlation
High-accuracy calculations incorporating correlation effects are possible using methods such as multi-configuration (MCSCF), configuration interaction (CI), and coupled cluster (CCSD).

* Molecular Property Calculations & Material Analysis
Equipped with user-definable modules, allowing calculation of various molecular properties (dipole moments, polarizabilities, magnetic constants, etc.). Visualization modules are also available.

* Treatment of Environmental Effects
Supports methods to include solvent and environmental effects, such as the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM), polarizable embedding (PE) model, and Frozen Density Embedding (FDE).

* Extensions & Interfacing
A Python interface with OpenFermion is implemented, enabling integration with quantum computer simulations.

* Incorporation of QED Effects
Functionality is implemented to introduce effective potentials for QED (quantum electrodynamics) effects.
