We demonstrate near linear scaling of a new algorithm for computing smooth local coupled-cluster singles-doubles (LCCSD) correlation energies of quantum mechanical systems. The theory behind our approach has been described previously, [J. Subotnik and M. Head-Gordon, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 064108 (2005)], and requires appropriately multiplying standard iterative amplitude equations by a bump function, creating local amplitude equations (which are smooth according to the implicit function theorem). Here, we provide an example that this theory works in practice: we show that our algorithm leads to smooth potential energy surfaces and yields large computational savings. As an example, we apply our LCCSD approach to measure the post-MP2 correction to the energetic gap between two different alanine tetrapeptide conformations. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
