CISD Quadrupoles

I am trying to use psi4.core.variable("CISD QUADRUPOLE") to get the expectation values of quadrupole momments for the CISD ground state. But, I see the following error:

KeyError: 'psi4.core.variable: Requested variable CISD QUADRUPOLE was not set!\n'

Note: I call psi4.core.variable() only after running psi4.energy('cisd')

You never asked Psi to compute the quadrupole. Try psi4.properties('cisd').

Thank you so much, I tried looking for this in the documentation and couldn’t find anything. But, I just realized I was looking in the wrong place as psi uses CC for CISD calculation and the CC page does mention about properties.

But, doesn’t psi4 compute the properties when asked to return the wavefunction?

No. Returning the wavefunction and computing properties are completely unrelated.

psi4.core.variable('CISD QUADRUPOLE') still returns variable not set error, when called after psi4.properties('cisd'). Strangely enough, when I checked the psi output file, it did print the Quadrupoles there.

Psi saves it as CI QUADRUPOLE.

It really should save as both, and I’ll put up an issue about it.

By the way, this is an unrelaxed property, not a relaxed property. There are two formulas for properties that are inequivalent for approximate methods. You’re using the cheaper but less accurate one (unrelaxed). The disagreement between the two is small when you include singles, but it’s good to be aware of this.

Actually, there seems to be a significant difference between the “relaxed” and “unrelaxed” properties.

Apart from that, while calculating the properties DETCI oddly seems to start from a very high electronic energy, for a Helium atom with a few ghost basis functions around it.
(See below the DETCI and CC output snippets)

The detci energy is clearly incorrect, but this is unrelated to unrelaxed vs. relaxed dipoles. Two codes that are supposed to give the same answer do not give the same answer, seemingly because one is buggy.

Please post a complete example of your input to the detci computation, and I can refer this to the specialists.

Here’s my psi4 input in python. See the attachments provided below, for the .xyz file, where Gh(He1)'s are ghost atoms with a diffuse gaussian. All these functions are placed at points on a spherically grid as the one shown in the image.

This input file segfaults when I try it. It looks like your psi4.energy call is Garbage In, Garbage Out, where the psi4.properties call is fine. I’ll file an issue, but I can’t afford the time to fix this one.
