电子结构量子蒙特卡罗计算中的哈密顿对称性

Hamiltonian symmetries in auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo calculations for electronic structure

Mario Motta, Shiwei Zhang, Garnet Kin-Lic Chan

摘要:

我们描述了如何将对称性的哈密顿量的量子场的蒙特卡罗计算(AFQMC)。聚焦阿贝尔对称的情况下,我们表明,AFQMC计算的大多数步骤的计算成本减少了$N_k^{-1}$,其中$N_k$是对称群的不可约表示的数量。我们应用的形式主义的分子系统以及几个结晶固体。在后一种情况下,随着k点的数量增加,晶格平移群提供增加的节省,这在实现接近热力学极限的计算中是重要的。对非阿贝尔对称的推广作了简要的讨论。

英文摘要:

We describe how to incorporate symmetries of the Hamiltonian into auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo calculations (AFQMC). Focusing on the case of Abelian symmetries, we show that the computational cost of most steps of an AFQMC calculation is reduced by $N_k^{-1}$, where $N_k$ is the number of irreducible representations of the symmetry group. We apply the formalism to a molecular system as well as to several crystalline solids. In the latter case, the lattice translational group provides increasing savings as the number of k points is increased, which is important in enabling calculations that approach the thermodynamic limit. The extension to non-Abelian symmetries is briefly discussed.
