Research summary
To lead the way toward a new frontier of theoretical and computational molecular science, our project involves the novel development of theory, algorithm, and software, which will be realized through collaborative use of “Fugaku” across the fields of computational science and computer science. Our main goals are as follows;
- Innovation of theoretical and computational molecular science based on next-generation molecular theory
To realize an improved and updated theoretical molecular science by developing our original theorizing to handle large and complicated molecules with high accuracy - Development of our own quantum chemistry software “NTChem”
To provide the users to a high-performance software package for molecular electronic-structure calculations for general purpose - Establishment of materials informatics on massively parallel supercomputers
To develop efficient schemes for materials informatics with high-throughput simulations on “Fugaku”
