Psi4 has introduced the density-fitting approximation in many portions of the code, leading to faster computations and reduced I/O requirements.[2][4][5]
Psi4 is the preferred quantum chemistry backend for the OpenFermion project, which seeks to perform quantum chemistry computations on quantum computers.[7]
In Psi4 1.4,[6] the program was adapted to facilitate high-throughput workflows and can be connected to BrianQC to speed up calculations for Hartree-Fock and Density functional theory methods.
