非局部赝势的尺寸一致变分方法:标准和格点正则化扩散蒙特卡罗方法的回顾

Size-consistent variational approaches to non-local pseudopotentials: standard and lattice regularized diffusion Monte Carlo methods revisited

Michele Casula, Saverio Moroni, Sandro Sorella, Claudia Filippi

摘要:

我们提出了改进版本的标准扩散蒙特卡罗(DMC)和晶格正则化扩散蒙特卡罗(LRDMC)算法。对于DMC方法,我们改进了最近设计的一个计划,以处理非局部赝势变分的方式。我们表明,这样的计划-当应用到足够大的系统-保持其有效性,只有在相应的足够小的时间步长,我们提出了两个简单的升级的方法,保证变分性质的大小一致的方式。对于LRDMC方法,这是大小一致的和变分的建设,我们提高了计算效率,通过引入(i)一个改进的定义的有效晶格哈密顿量,保持大小一致,并需要一个小的晶格空间误差与一个已知的领导项,和(ii)一个新的随机化方法的位置的晶格结,需要一个单一的晶格空间。

英文摘要:

We propose improved versions of the standard diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and the lattice regularized diffusion Monte Carlo (LRDMC) algorithms. For the DMC method, we refine a scheme recently devised to treat non-local pseudopotential in a variational way. We show that such scheme --when applied to large enough systems-- maintains its effectiveness only at correspondingly small enough time-steps, and we present two simple upgrades of the method which guarantee the variational property in a size-consistent manner. For the LRDMC method, which is size-consistent and variational by construction, we enhance the computational efficiency by introducing (i) an improved definition of the effective lattice Hamiltonian which remains size-consistent and entails a small lattice-space error with a known leading term, and (ii) a new randomization method for the positions of the lattice knots which requires a single lattice-space.
