Description

Hey all, we would like to list several things that has to be perfected in the psi_4 Adapter

  1. Implementing scan jobs. The main thing that needs to be done is automatically write the input files. Here is an example of a dihedral scan with psi4:
    This needs to be automatically written with the psi4 adapter, in the write_input_file function.

  2. Troubleshoot the basis tolerance to 1.0E-10

Research direction

Start with arc/job/adapters/psi_4.py, especially the write_input_file function, and compare its current behavior with the linked Psi4 dihedral-scan example. Determine how scan jobs should be represented in generated input files and investigate the requested basis tolerance of 1.0E-10. Done means scan inputs are written automatically and the basis tolerance issue is resolved.
