Improved estimators for the self-energy and vertex function in hybridization-expansion continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo simulations
We propose efficient measurement procedures for the self-energy and vertex function of the Anderson impurity model within the hybridization expansion continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm. The method is based on the measurement of higher-order correlation functions related to the quantities being sought through the equation of motion, a technique previously introduced in the numerical r...
متن کاملAn optimized initialization algorithm to ensure accuracy in quantum Monte Carlo calculations
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations require the generation of random electronic configurations with respect to a desired probability density, usually the square of the magnitude of the wavefunction. In most cases, the Metropolis algorithm is used to generate a sequence of configurations in a Markov chain. This method has an inherent equilibration phase, during which the configurations are no...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo and the CASINO program : highly accurate total energy calculations for finite and periodic systems
For practical computational electronic structure calculations an important and complementary alternative to density functional theory in situations where high accuracy is required is the quantum Monte Carlo method. This has many attractive features for probing the electronic structure of real systems. In particular, it is an explicitly many-particle technique which takes electron correlation in...
متن کاملA Quantum Monte Carlo Approach to the Adiabatic Connection Method
We present a new method for realizing the adiabatic connection approach in density functional theory, which is based on combining accurate variational quantum Monte Carlo calculations with a constrained optimization of the ground state many-body wavefunction for different values of the Coulomb coupling constant. We use the method to study an electron gas in the presence of a cosine-wave potenti...
متن کاملQuantum mechanical investigation of 4-hydroxy phenyl azobenzene adsorption on the boron nitride nanotubes
In this study, the adsorption of 4-hydroxy phenyl-azobenzene on the surface of (4, 0) zigzag open-end boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) has been investigated by quantum calculations. In order to find the preferred adsorption site, different positions and orientations were considered. The impacts of donor-acceptor electron delocalization on the structural and electronic properties and reactivity of ...
