激发态扩散的Monte Carlo计算:一种简单有效的双行列式方法

Excited-state diffusion Monte Carlo calculations: a simple and efficient two-determinant ansatz

Nick S. Blunt, Eric Neuscamman

摘要:

我们使用一个简单而有效的波函数模拟器进行激发态变分蒙特卡罗和扩散蒙特卡罗计算。该模型遵循最近的响应后变分形式主义,准确地近似配置相互作用单波函数的总和只有两个非正交的斯莱特行列式,并进一步包括重要的轨道松弛。该模型用于进行扩散蒙特卡罗计算与大型增广基集,比较基准从近精确的量子化学方法。论证了轨道优化在激发态扩散蒙特卡罗中的重要性,并详细讨论了激发态优化的具体步骤。除了甲醛亚胺和苯甲腈分子外,还研究了水和甲醛中的扩散激发态。

英文摘要:

We perform excited-state variational Monte Carlo and diffusion Monte Carlo calculations using a simple and efficient wave function ansatz. This ansatz follows the recent variation-after-response formalism, accurately approximating a configuration interaction singles wave function as a sum of only two non-orthogonal Slater determinants, and further including important orbital relaxation. The ansatz is used to perform diffusion Monte Carlo calculations with large augmented basis sets, comparing to benchmarks from near-exact quantum chemical methods. The significance of orbital optimization in excited-state diffusion Monte Carlo is demonstrated, and the excited-state optimization procedure is discussed in detail. Diffuse excited states in water and formaldehyde are studied, in addition to the formaldimine and benzonitrile molecules.
