un 2 00 5 A variational method from the variance of energy
نویسنده
چکیده
A variational method is studied based on the minimum of energy variance. The method is tested on exactly soluble problems in quantum mechanics, and is shown to be a useful tool whenever the properties of states are more relevant than the eigenvalues. In quantum field theory the method provides a consistent second order extension of the gaussian effective potential. Typeset using REVTEX

un 2 00 3 Variational RPA for the Mie resonance in jellium
The surface plasmon in simple metal clusters is red-shifted from the Mie frequency, the energy shift being significantly larger than the usual spill-out correction. Here we develop a variational approach to the RPA collective excitations. Using a simple trial form, we obtain analytic expressions for the energy shift beyond the spill-out contribution. We find that the additional red shift is pro...
متن کامل1 8 M ay 2 00 4 A note on the free energy of the coupled system in the Sherrington - Kirkpatrick model
In this paper we consider a system of spins that consists of two configurations σ 1,σ2 ∈ ΣN = {−1,+1}N with Gaussian Hamiltonians H1 N (σ1) and H2 N (σ2) correspondingly, and these configurations are coupled on the set where their overlap is fixed {R1,2 = N−1 ∑N i=1 σ 1 i σ 2 i = uN}. We prove the existence of the thermodynamic limit of the free energy of this system given that limN→∞ uN = u ∈ ...
متن کاملOptimization of quantum Monte Carlo wave functions using analytical energy derivatives
An algorithm is proposed to optimize quantum Monte Carlo ~QMC! wave functions based on Newton’s method and analytical computation of the first and second derivatives of the variational energy. This direct application of the variational principle yields significantly lower energy than variance minimization methods when applied to the same trial wave function. Quadratic convergence to the local m...
متن کاملSADDLE POINT VARIATIONAL METHOD FOR DIRAC CONFINEMENT
A saddle point variational (SPV ) method was applied to the Dirac equation as an example of a fully relativistic equation with both negative and positive energy solutions. The effect of the negative energy states was mitigated by maximizing the energy with respect to a relevant parameter while at the same time minimizing it with respect to another parameter in the wave function. The Cornell pot...
