fock-rs

Restricted Hartree Fock in rust. For a better interface and nicer implementation, see qchem-rs, which is essentially a rewrite of this project.

This is just for educational purposes as only little thought went into optimizing everything. Especially the electron tensor is really inefficient, as I don't employ any fancy optimizations like integral screening, etc.

Features:

  • pointcloud and volumetric renderer for molecular orbitals
  • custom boys function implementation, which is fast enough but pretty inaccurate
  • parsing of the BSE json format of basis sets using serde-rs

Problems:

  • the scf cycle is not perfectly stable. It converges for smaller molecules with simple basis sets, but struggles for larger systems
  • the boys function implementation is pretty inaccurate for higher order orbitals, which is why basis sets with polarization can be unstable
  • poor performance / very high impact of ERIs
