What Does CID Stand For?
CID stands for Configuration Interaction With Doubly Excited Configurations
CID, or Configuration Interaction With Doubly Excited Configurations, is a computational method used in quantum chemistry and molecular physics to accurately describe electronic states of atoms and molecules. It extends the conventional configuration interaction techniques by including not only single excitations from the ground state but also double excitations, thereby capturing the effects of electron correlation more comprehensively. This approach enhances the ability to model complex electronic interactions, leading to more precise predictions of molecular properties and behaviors.
