qc-rs — User Manual#

Welcome to the qc-rs user manual — an educational, textbook-style guide to running quantum-chemistry calculations with qc-rs, written for newcomers to quantum chemistry, high-performance computing, and Python alike.

Note

Draft. The manual is being written chapter by chapter (design: .design/78user-manual.md); most pages below are still stubs.

Getting started

Install qc-rs, set up your editor and tools, and run your first calculation.
