What Does CID Stand For?

CID stands for Configuration Interaction With Double Substitution

CID, or Configuration Interaction with Double Substitution, is a quantum chemical method used to calculate the electronic structure of many-body systems. By considering the effects of double excitations from a reference state, CID provides a more accurate description of electron correlation compared to single-configuration approaches. This technique enhances the reliability of predictions regarding molecular properties and reaction dynamics, making it a valuable tool in computational chemistry and theoretical studies of complex systems.
