厦门大学吴玮和周晨等推出基于低秩算法的价键方法VBSCF (RI) 、VBSCF (COSX) 及BOVB (RI)，通过优化积分变换与Fock矩阵计算过程，将计算效率最高提升30倍，并成功实现百原子级体系的价键计算。该成果突破传统价键方法计算和存储的瓶颈，为大分子复杂体系的价键研究提供高效工具。相关技术已集成于XMVB 4.0程序包，期待推动价键理论迈向更广阔应用。

The latest version of Xiamen Valence Bond software, XMVB 4.0, has been available with excited new features. Users can experience the power of XMVB 4.0 on the XACS cloud computing platform or download it for local installation.

The study is valuable in guiding the design and performance regulation of diboron compounds.

This research highlight showcases the application of block-localized wavefunction method with the XMVB@XACS software package by Xuhui Lin et al. at Central South University.

Chemical bonding group from Xiamen University has developed a hybrid density functional valence bond (VB) method with multistate treatment, namely λ-DFVB(MS).
