Optimization of quantum Monte Carlo wave functions by energy minimization.
We study three wave function optimization methods based on energy minimization in a variational Monte Carlo framework: the Newton, linear, and perturbative methods. In the Newton method, the parameter variations are calculated from the energy gradient and Hessian, using a reduced variance statistical estimator for the latter. In the linear method, the parameter variations are found by diagonali...
متن کاملA fast and efficient algorithm for Slater determinant updates in quantum Monte Carlo simulations.
We present an efficient low-rank updating algorithm for updating the trial wave functions used in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. The algorithm is based on low-rank updating of the Slater determinants. In particular, the computational complexity of the algorithm is O(kN) during the kth step compared to traditional algorithms that require O(N(2)) computations, where N is the system size. ...
متن کاملSpin contamination in quantum Monte Carlo wave functions
The wave function usually employed in quantum Monte Carlo ~QMC! electronic structure calculations is the product of a Jastrow factor and a sum of products of up-spin and down-spin determinants. Typically, a different Jastrow factor is used for paralleland antiparallel-spin electrons in order to satisfy the cusp conditions and thereby ensure that the local energy at electron– electron coincidenc...
متن کاملGeneralized valence bond wave functions in quantum Monte Carlo.
We present a technique for using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) to obtain high quality energy differences. We use generalized valence bond (GVB) wave functions, for an intuitive approach to capturing the important sources of static correlation, without needing to optimize the orbitals with QMC. Using our modifications to Walker branching and Jastrows, we can then reliably use diffusion quantum Monte...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo with Jastrow-valence-bond wave functions.
We consider the use in quantum Monte Carlo calculations of two types of valence bond wave functions based on strictly localized active orbitals, namely valence bond self-consistent-field and breathing-orbital valence bond wave functions. Complemented by a Jastrow factor, these Jastrow-valence-bond wave functions are tested by computing the equilibrium well depths of the four diatomic molecules ...
