PT2 with quantum nucleus

This is a minimal input for a second order propagator theory (Propagathor Theory, PT) calculation to obtain the electronic ionization energies and proton binding energies for a water molecule. The PT2 corrections are computed when “propagatorTheoryCorrection=2” is added to the input:

The PT2 output will include a summary of the Koopmans’ (KT) and self-energy corrected (EP2) results for the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied orbital of each species,

For the occupied orbitals, KT and EP2 results are estimates of the energy requiered to remove a particle from the corresponding orbital (ionization potential). For the unoccupied ones, KT and EP2 results are estimates of the energy gained by adding a particle to the orbital (electron affinity). Here, the Pole Strength (P.S) serves as a quantity that validates the diagonal (pseudoparticle) approximation employed. A P.S value below 0.85 usually indicates that the diagonal approximation is not reliable.
