Continuum variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations.
This topical review describes the methodology of continuum variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations. These stochastic methods are based on many-body wavefunctions and are capable of achieving very high accuracy. The algorithms are intrinsically parallel and well suited to implementation on petascale computers, and the computational cost scales as a polynomial in the number of ...
متن کاملBenchmark quantum Monte Carlo calculations
Fixed node diffusion Monte Carlo !FN-DMC" atomization energies are calculated for a benchmark set of 55 molecules. Using single determinant trial wave functions, comparison with experiment yields an average absolute deviation of 2.9 kcal/mol, placing this simplest form of FN-DMC roughly at the same level of accuracy as the CCSD!T"/aug-cc-pVQZ method. However, unlike perturbative wave function e...
متن کاملAdding the molecular dynamics functionality to the quantum Monte Carlo code CASINO
This report describes developments to the CASINO Quantum Monte Carlo code for enabling coupled Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) molecular dynamics simulations. The main objective of the work is to develop a scalable interface between CASINO and the PWscf code (which is part of Quantum ESPRESSO). CASINO will be modified with an algorithm based on re-weighting, leve...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo Calculations of Light Nuclei
The goal of ab-initio light-nuclei calculations is to understand nuclei as collections of nucleons interacting with realistic (bare) potentials through reliable solutions of the many-nucleon Schrödinger equation. Such calculations can study binding energies, excitation spectra, relative stability, densities, transition amplitudes, cluster-cluster overlaps, low-energy astrophysical reactions, an...
متن کاملLinear-scaling quantum Monte Carlo calculations.
A method is presented for using truncated, maximally localized Wannier functions to introduce sparsity into the Slater determinant part of the trial wave function in quantum Monte Carlo calculations. When combined with an efficient numerical evaluation of these localized orbitals, the dominant cost in the calculation, namely, the evaluation of the Slater determinant, scales linearly with system...
