A question about PTB

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Can optimization be done with PTB?

Currently, the answer is: "PTB not implemented for geometry optimization. Please use another method for optimization instead."

Is it because PTB is meant only for single-point calculations or optimization is not yet implemented?

Yes, the PTB is used mainly for the SPs targeting accurate one-particle density matrices and their derivatives.
