What Does BSO Stand For?
BSO stands for Brueckner Spin Orbitals
BSO, or Brueckner Spin Orbitals, refers to a set of orbitals used in quantum chemistry and many-body physics that incorporate both spin and spatial variables. Named after the physicist Richard Brueckner, these orbitals provide a framework for accurately describing electronic interactions and correlation effects in many-electron systems. BSO are particularly significant in configuration interaction methods and coupled-cluster theories, as they enhance the precision of calculations related to electronic structure and properties of molecules and materials.
