An introduction to applied quantum mechanics in the Wigner Monte Carlo formalism
The Wigner formulation of quantum mechanics is a very intuitive approach which allows the comprehension and prediction of quantum mechanical phenomena in terms of quasidistribution functions. In this review, our aim is to provide a detailed introduction to this theory along with a Monte Carlo method for the simulation of time-dependent quantum systems evolving in a phase-space. This work consis...
متن کاملA Wigner Monte Carlo approach to density functional theory
In order to simulate quantum N -body systems, stationary and time-dependent density functional theories rely on the capacity of calculating the single-electron wavefunctions of a system from which one obtains the total electron density (Kohn-Sham systems). In this paper, we introduce the use of the Wigner Monte Carlo method in ab-initio calculations. This approach allows time-dependent simulati...
متن کاملAb-Initio Molecular Dynamics
Computer simulation methods, such as Monte Carlo or Molecular Dynamics, are very powerful computational techniques that provide detailed and essentially exact information on classical many-body problems. With the advent of ab-initio molecular dynamics, where the forces are computed on-the-fly by accurate electronic structure calculations, the scope of either method has been greatly extended. Th...
متن کاملA benchmark study of the Wigner Monte Carlo method
The Wigner equation is a promising full quantum model for the simulation of nanodevices. It is also a challenging numerical problem. Two basic Monte Carlo approaches to this model exist exploiting, in the time-dependent case, the so-called particle a nity and, in the stationary case, integer particle signs. In this paper we extend the second approach for time-dependent simulations and present a...
متن کاملThe utility of many-body decompositions for the accurate basis set extrapolation of ab initio data
We present a powerful new technique for the extrapolation of ab initio data based on many-body decompositions. Using the new methodology and subtle modifications of the standard correlation consistent basis sets, the H1H2 barrier height is estimated at 9.603 kcal/mol with a precision of about 0.003 kcal/mol; this extremely accurate result is all the more striking as it can be obtained using bas...
