About:
Libint is a high-performance library designed for the evaluation of electron repulsion integrals (ERIs) and their derivatives, which are fundamental in quantum chemistry calculations. It employs advanced algorithms to compute these integrals efficiently, making it a critical component for ab initio molecular modeling and electronic structure theory.
Key Features:
  • Highly optimized integral evaluation
  • Support for Gaussian basis functions
  • Computation of derivatives for geometry optimizations
  • C++ library with Fortran bindings
Use Cases:
  • Developing quantum chemistry software packages
  • Performing ab initio molecular dynamics simulations
  • Electronic structure calculations (HF, DFT, MP2, etc.)
Alternatives:
  • Libcint – Open-source alternative with a focus on C interface and broader basis set support.
