A time-dependent equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles (TD-EOM-CCSD) method is implemented, which uses a reduced basis calculated with the asymmetric band Lanczos algorithm. The approach is used to study weak-field processes in small molecules induced by ultrashort valence pump and core probe pulses. We assess the reliability of the procedure by comparing TD-EOM-CCSD absorption spectra to spectra obtained from the time-dependent coupled-cluster singles and doubles method, and observe that spectral features can be reproduced for several molecules, at much lower computational times. We discuss how multiphoton absorption and symmetry can be handled in the method, and general features of the core-valence separation projection technique. We also model the transient absorption of an attosecond x-ray probe pulse by the glycine molecule.

The eT program is an open source electronic structure package with emphasis on coupled cluster and multilevel methods. It includes efficient spin adapted implementations of ground and excited singlet states, as well as equation of motion oscillator strengths, for CCS, CC2, CCSD, and CC3. Furthermore, eT provides unique capabilities such as multilevel Hartree–Fock and multilevel CC2, real-time propagation for CCS and CCSD, and efficient CC3 oscillator strengths. With a coupled cluster code based on an efficient Cholesky decomposition algorithm for the electronic repulsion integrals, eT has similar advantages as codes using density fitting, but with strict error control. Here, we present the main features of the program and demonstrate its performance through example calculations. Because of its availability, performance, and unique capabilities, we expect eT to become a valuable resource to the electronic structure community.
