    Geometry Optimization and Potential Energy Surfaces (PES)
    Molecular geometries correspond to the minima of the PES . Locating these minima requires numerical minimization algorithms that iteratively adjust nuclear coordinates $\mathbf{R}$ until the forces (gradients of the energy with respect to coordinates) vanish.
