basisopt : quantum chemistry basis set optimization

About

BasisOpt is an open-source library for the optimization of gaussian basis sets, for use in quantum chemistry calculations. We aim to offer:

  • a software-agnostic interface to allow for reproducibility

  • automation of the optimization procedure

  • methods for evaluating and visualising basis sets

  • a framework for the development of new optimization methods

  • standardised format for presenting basis set optimization results

It was written predominantly by Robert Shaw (@robertshaw383), with assistance from Grant Hill (@Dr_GHill), as part of an EPSRC-funded project at the University of Sheffield.
