The aim of this project was to create widely applicable, numerically robust, and systematically improvable multireference theories based on the Driven Similarity Renormalization Group (DSRG). The DSRG is a many-body formalism recently developed in our lab that maps a complex problem involving strongly and weakly interacting electrons to a simpler one in which a few electrons interact strongly via "renormalized" interactions. During this project, we focused our efforts on developing a multireference version of the DSRG (MR-DSRG) applicable to a wide range of problems in theoretical chemistry, including the computation of global ground and excited potential energy surfaces, spin-splittings in transition metal complexes and predicting the interaction of near-degenerate electronically excited states.
