At the core of RevQCMagic are Configurations and States. Together these describe an entire system.
Take ground-state H2 with electronic configuration (1s)2, and ground-state HeH+ also with electronic configuration (1s)2. These two systems have different Configuration, but the same State.
Now consider ground-state H2 with electronic configuration (1s)2 and H2+ with electronic configuration (1s)1. These two systems have the same Configuration, but different State.
