What Does ANO Stand For?
ANO stands for Atomic Natural Orbital
Atomic Natural Orbital (ANO) refers to a set of basis functions used in quantum chemistry to describe the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. These orbitals are derived from the natural orbital transformation of wave functions and are optimized to provide a more accurate representation of the electron density. ANOs enable efficient calculations of molecular properties and facilitate better understanding of electronic interactions, making them valuable in computational modeling and theoretical investigations in chemistry and physics.
