Quantum Monte Carlo method for attractive Coulomb potentials.

چکیده
Starting from an exact lower bound on the imaginary-time propagator, we present a path-integral quantum Monte Carlo method that can handle singular attractive potentials. We illustrate the basic ideas of this quantum Monte Carlo algorithm by simulating the ground state of hydrogen and helium.

2 4 Ju n 20 03 Numerical path integration with Coulomb potential Jan
A simple and efficient method for quantum Monte Carlo simulation is presented, based on discretization of the action in the path integral, and a Gaussian averaging of the potential, which works well e.g. with the Coulomb potential. Non-integrable hard core potentials can not be averaged in the same way.
متن کاملCircumventing the pathological behavior of path-integral Monte Carlo for systems with Coulomb potentials
The imaginary-time discretized path integral for systems interacting through Coulomb potentials and/or bounded by hard walls behaves pathologically. In this paper we give an analysis of the pathologies. A new method is used to calculate the path integral for the Coulomb system within the primitive algorithm. This is done by constructing an effective potential that implicitly depends on Trotter ...
متن کاملTitrating Polyelectrolytes { Variational Calculations and Monte Carlo Simulations
Variational methods are used to calculate structural and thermodynamical properties of a titrating polyelectrolyte in a discrete representation. In the variational treatment, the Coulomb potentials are emulated by harmonic repulsive forces between all monomers; the force constants are used as variational parameters. The accuracy of the variational approach is tested against Monte Carlo data. Ex...
متن کاملPhase diagram of a quantum Coulomb wire
We report the quantum phase diagram of a one-dimensional Coulomb wire obtained using the path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) method. The exact knowledge of the nodal points of this system permits us to find the energy in an exact way, solving the sign problem which spoils fermionic calculations in higher dimensions. The results obtained allow for the determination of the stability domain, in terms...
متن کاملExact diagonalization and Quantum Monte Carlo studies of quantum dots
We report exact diagonalization and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations of quantum dots (QDs) in which energetics due to electron-electron interactions, magnetic field, and geometrical factors compete and induce interesting ground state configurations. The geometrical effects are generated by different confining potentials such as parabolic shaped, ring shaped, and disordered potentials....
