What Does ANO Stand For?
ANO stands for Approximate Natural Orbital
ANO, or Approximate Natural Orbital, refers to a computational approach used in quantum chemistry and material science to describe the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. This method involves approximating the natural orbitals—eigensolutions of the one-particle reduced density matrix—providing an efficient framework for analyzing electronic interactions and properties. By leveraging ANOs, researchers can gain insights into molecular behavior and reactivity while optimizing computational resources.
