Abstract: Localized representation of the Kohn-Sham subspace plays an important role in quantum chemistry and materials science. The recently developed selected columns of the density matrix (SCDM) method [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 11, 1463, 2015] is a simple and robust procedure for finding a localized representation of a set of Kohn-Sham orbitals from an insulating system. The SCDM method allows the direct construction of a well conditioned (or even orthonormal) and localized basis for the Kohn-Sham subspace. The SCDM algorithm avoids the use of an optimization procedure and does not depend on any adjustable parameters. The most computationally expensive step of the SCDM method is a column pivoted QR factorization that identifies the important columns for constructing the localized basis set. In this paper, we develop a two stage approximate column selection strategy to find the important columns at much lower computational cost. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this process using the dissociation process of a BHNH molecule, an alkane chain and a supercell with 256 water molecules. Numerical results for the large collection of water molecules show that two stage localization procedure can be more than 30 times faster than the original SCDM algorithm and compares favorably with the popular Wannier90 package.
