[molpro-user] Bug in calculation of expactation value of the potential energy operator (POT)

[Evgeniy Gromov]

Dear Gerald,

Thanks for your response. Yet could you please
give the expression for the potential energy operator
(POT) used to get the expectation value (if you know).
Thanks!

Best regards,
Evgeniy
