An efficient implementation of the quadratic unitary coupled-cluster singles and doubles (qUCCSD) scheme for calculations of electronic ground and excited states using an unrestricted molecular spin-orbital formulation and an efficient tensor contraction library is reported. The accuracy of the qUCCSD scheme and the efficiency of the present implementation are demonstrated using extensive benchmark calculations of excitation energies and an application to S 0 → S 1 vertical excitation energies for cis - and trans -4 a ,4 b- dihydrotriphenylene. The qUCCSD scheme has been shown to provide improved excitation energies compared with the UCC3 scheme formulated based on perturbation theory. A UCC truncation scheme that can provide excitation energies correct through the fourth order is also presented to further improve the accuracy of the qUCCSD scheme.
