Description

Hello,

is it possible to use the functional wB97m-D3BJ in gpu4pyscf?

It is wB97m-V with the VV10 replaced with D3(BJ). https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jctc.8b00842

It is available in PSI4 but I would like to use PySCF for the GPU acceleration

Research direction

Start by reviewing how gpu4pyscf exposes density-functional functionals and compare its available wB97m-V/VV10 support with the PSI4 implementation of wB97m-D3(BJ). Use the linked paper and PySCF documentation to determine the required functional definition and GPU path. Done means wB97m-D3(BJ) can be selected in gpu4pyscf and produces validated results.
