Proposed changes

Added a utility to convert pyscf h5 orbitals from spherical to Cartesian AO basis.

I still need to check the normalization for the different shells, but all of the framework is in place.

The PyscfToQmcpack converter doesn't seem to correctly handle cases where different atoms of the same element have different basis sets, so I didn't account for that in this converter either (it will be simple to update this converter when PyscfToQmcpack is updated).

What type(s) of changes does this code introduce?

  • New feature

Does this introduce a breaking change?

  • No

Update the following with a yes where the items apply. If you're unsure about any of them, don't hesitate to ask. This is
simply a reminder of what we are going to look for before merging your code.

  • Yes. This PR is up to date with current the current state of 'develop'
  • No. Code added or changed in the PR has been clang-formatted

Could you add some documentation about what the numbers mean in this structure?

yes, I'm still moving some factors around, but I plan to add more documentation

I added a description there.

It's not my ideal solution (I should just add a function to generate these for arbitrary l/m), but I wanted to get something working first, and this was simple.
I squared everything so that I could keep an array of values with terminating decimal expansions.

I haven't noticed any issues with accumulation of floating-point errors yet, but I should probably consider whether that might become a problem for high enough angular momenta.
(This actually led me to your jupyter notebooks yesterday: I grepped for factorial while trying to decide whether to take a product of ratios prod(a_i/b_i) or a ratio of products prod(a_i)/prod(b_i) and found a comment that mentioned the GaussianOrbitals notebook from the qmc_algorithms repo)

I think the only thing left to do here is to clean up the tests.
Here is a summary of the testing steps:

  1. run small pyscf calculation in each of several basis sets (sp, sd, sf, sg, ...) [Done*]
    1. *need to change the string back to 'pdfghi' here;
      it was shortened to save time while the test workflow is ironed out
  2. for each basis, call converter to generate cartesian hdf5 input [Done*]
    1. *as above, need to add sf sg sh si back to the loop
  3. for each basis, use convert4qmc to generate xml inputs from hdf5 [needs to be added as cmake test]
  4. run short VMC with same seed for sph and cart inputs [needs to be added as cmake test]
  5. verify that sph/cart outputs agree [needs to be done in a cleaner way (maybe with check_scalars.py) and added as a cmake test]
