Description

This is more of a question than an issue.

Would it be possible to use gpu4pyscf with pbc calculations? If so are there any tutorials available? If not are there plans to make it available at some point?

I don't see any pbc modules in the code but I wanted to make sure whether it is or isn't possible to repurpose it for pbc calculations without major problems?

Research direction

The issue does not name any files or tests; it notes that no PBC modules are visible in the code. Start by checking the repository for PBC-related modules and existing GPU integration entry points. Done means documenting whether PBC calculations are supported, whether they can be adapted without major problems, and whether tutorials or planned support exist.
