Finite-size effects in the reconstruction of dynamic properties from ab initio path integral Monte-Carlo simulations

Tobias Dornheim, Jan Vorberger

DOI：: 10.1103/PhysRevE.102.063301

英文摘要：

We systematically investigate finite-size effects in the dynamic structure factor $S(q,ω)$ of the uniform electron gas obtained via the analytic continuation of \textit{ab initio} path integral Monte-Carlo (PIMC) data for the imaginary-time density--density correlation function $F(q,τ)$. Using the recent scheme by Dornheim \textit{et al.}~[PRL \textbf{121}, 255001 (2018)], we find that the reconstructed spectra are not afflicted with any finite-size effects for as few as $N=14$ electrons both at warm dense matter (WDM) conditions and at the margins of the strongly correlated electron liquid regime. Our results further corroborate the high quality of our current description of the dynamic density response of correlated electrons, which is of high importance for many applications in WDM theory and beyond.

{\em Ab initio} Quantum Monte Carlo simulation of the warm dense electron gas in the thermodynamic limit

We perform \emph{ab initio} quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations of the warm dense uniform electron gas in the thermodynamic limit. By combining QMC data with linear response theory we are able to remove finite-size errors from the potential energy over the entire warm dense regime, overcoming the deficiencies of the existing finite-size corrections by Brown \emph{et al.}~[PRL \textbf{110}, 146405 (2013)]. Extensive new QMC results for up to $N=1000$ electrons enable us to compute the potential energy $V$ and the exchange-correlation free energy $F_{xc}$ of the macroscopic electron gas with a…

\textit{Ab Initio} Path Integral Monte Carlo Results for the Dynamic Structure Factor of Correlated Electrons: From the Electron Liquid to Warm Dense Matter

The accurate description of electrons at extreme density and temperature is of paramount importance for, e.g., the understanding of astrophysical objects and inertial confinement fusion. In this context, the dynamic structure factor $S(\mathbf{q},ω)$ constitutes a key quantity as it is directly measured in X-ray Thomson (XRTS) scattering experiments and governs transport properties like the dynamic conductivity. In this work, we present the first \textit{ab initio} results for $S(\mathbf{q},ω)$ by carrying out extensive path integral Monte Carlo simulations and developing a new method for the …

The Static Local Field Correction of the Warm Dense Electron Gas: An ab Initio Path Integral Monte Carlo Study and Machine Learning Representation

The study of matter at extreme densities and temperatures as they occur in astrophysical objects and state-of-the art experiments with high-intensity lasers is of high current interest for many applications. While no overarching theory for this regime exists, accurate data for the density response of correlated electrons to an external perturbation are of paramount importance. In this context, the key quantity is given by the local field correction (LFC), which provides a wave-vector resolved description of exchange-correlation effects. In this work, we present extensive new path integral Mont…

Ab Initio Electronic Structure Calculations by Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo

The auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) method provides a computational framework for solving the time-independent Schroedinger equation in atoms, molecules, solids, and a variety of model systems by stochastic sampling. We introduce the theory and formalism behind this framework, briefly discuss the key technical steps that turn it into an effective and practical computational method, present several illustrative results, and conclude with comments on the prospects of ab initio computation by this framework.

Highly accurate ab-initio thermochemistry via real-space quantum Monte Carlo: Benzene

Real-space quantum Monte Carlo is used to calculate the total atomization energy of benzene. In contrast to orbital-space methods common in quantum chemistry, real-space methods allow results at near the complete-basis-set limit to be immediately obtained, all at a computational cost that scales with the fourth power of system size. We demonstrate this utility using the moderately sized benzene molecule, obtaining energies that agree with experiment and previous results from highly accurate composite methods including HEAT and W2. Due to the low scaling of these algorithms, it opens up the pos…

Ab Initio Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of the Uniform Electron Gas without Fixed Nodes II: Unpolarized Case

In a recent publication [S. Groth \textit{et al.}, PRB (2016)], we have shown that the combination of two novel complementary quantum Monte Carlo approaches, namely configuration path integral Monte Carlo (CPIMC) [T. Schoof \textit{et al.}, PRL \textbf{115}, 130402 (2015)] and permutation blocking path integral Monte Carlo (PB-PIMC) [T. Dornheim \textit{et al.}, NJP \textbf{17}, 073017 (2015)], allows for the accurate computation of thermodynamic properties of the spin-polarized uniform electron gas (UEG) over a wide range of temperatures and densities without the fixed-node approximation. In …

Ab initio quantum Monte Carlo calculations of spin superexchange in cuprates: the benchmarking case of Ca$_2$CuO$_3$

In view of the continuous theoretical efforts aimed at an accurate microscopic description of the strongly correlated transition metal oxides and related materials, we show that with continuum quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations it is possible to obtain the value of the spin superexchange coupling constant of a copper oxide in a quantitatively excellent agreement with experiment. The variational nature of the QMC total energy allows us to identify the best trial wave function out of the available pool of wave functions, which makes the approach essentially free from adjustable parameters an…

Abnormal superfluid fraction and structural properties of electrons in 2D and 3D quantum dots: an ab initio path-integral Monte Carlo study

We present extensive new direct path-integral Monte Carlo results for electrons in quantum dots in two and three dimensions. This allows us to investigate the nonclassical rotational inertia (NCRI) of the system, and we find an abnormal negative superfluid fraction [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 235301 (2014)] under some conditions. In addition, we study the structural properties by computing a sophisticated center-two particle correlation function. Remarkably, we find no connection between the spatial structure and the NCRI, since the former can be nearly identical for Fermi- and Bose-statistics for …

Direct calculation of the Entanglement Spectrum in Quantum Monte Carlo with application to \textit{ab initio} Hamiltonians

Several algorithms have been proposed to calculate the spatial entanglement spectrum from high order Renyi entropies. In this work we present an alternative approach for computing the entanglement spectrum with quantum Monte Carlo for both continuum and lattice Hamiltonians. This method provides direct access to the matrix elements of the spatially reduced density matrix and we determine an estimator that can be used in variational Monte Carlo as well as other Monte Carlo methods. The algorithm is based on using a generalization of the Swap operator, which can be extended to calculate a genera…

Ab Initio Finite Temperature Auxiliary Field Quantum Monte Carlo

We present an \textit{ab initio} auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo method for studying the electronic structure of molecules, solids, and model Hamiltonians at finite temperature. The algorithm marries the \textit{ab initio} phaseless auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo algorithm known to produce high accuracy ground state energies of molecules and solids with its finite temperature variant, long used by condensed matter physicists for studying model Hamiltonian phase diagrams, to yield a phaseless, \textit{ab initio} finite temperature method. We demonstrate that the method produces interna…

Ab Initio Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of the Uniform Electron Gas without Fixed Nodes

The uniform electron gas (UEG) at finite temperature is of key relevance for many applications in the warm dense matter regime, e.g. dense plasmas and laser excited solids. Also, the quality of density functional theory calculations crucially relies on the availability of accurate data for the exchange-correlation energy. Recently, new benchmark results for the N = 33 spin-polarized electrons at high density, r_s = r/a_B <= 4 and low temperature, have been obtained with the configuration path integral Monte Carlo (CPIMC) method [T. Schoof et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 130402 (2015)]. To achiev…

Off-diagonal Wave Function Monte Carlo Studies of Hubbard Model I

We propose a Monte Carlo method, which is a hybrid method of the quantum Monte Carlo method and variational Monte Carlo theory, to study the Hubbard model. The theory is based on the off-diagonal and the Gutzwiller type correlation factors which are taken into account by a Monte Carlo algorithm. In the 4x4 system our method is able to reproduce the exact results obtained by the diagonalization. An application is given to investigate the half-filled band case of two-dimensional square lattice. The energy is favorably compared with quantum Monte Carlo data.

Monte Carlo simulation method for Laughlin-like states in a disk geometry

We discuss an alternative accurate Monte Carlo method to calculate the ground-state energy and related quantities for Laughlin states of the fractional quantum Hall effect in a disk geometry. This alternative approach allows us to obtain accurate bulk regime (thermodynamic limit) values for various quantities from Monte Carlo simulations with a small number of particles (much smaller than that needed with standard Monte Carlo approaches).

Systematic Comparison and Cross-validation of Fixed-Node Diffusion Monte Carlo and Phaseless Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo in Solids

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are some of the most accurate methods for simulating correlated electronic systems. We investigate the compatibility, strengths and weaknesses of two such methods, namely, diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC). The multi-determinant trial wave functions employed in both approaches are generated using the configuration interaction using a perturbative selection made iteratively (CIPSI) technique. Complete basis set full configuration interaction (CBS-FCI) energies estimated with CIPSI are used as a reference in this compara…

TurboRVB: a many-body toolkit for {\it ab initio} electronic simulations by quantum Monte Carlo

TurboRVB is a computational package for {\it ab initio} Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations of both molecular and bulk electronic systems. The code implements two types of well established QMC algorithms: Variational Monte Carlo (VMC), and Diffusion Monte Carlo in its robust and efficient lattice regularized variant. A key feature of the code is the possibility of using strongly correlated many-body wave functions. The electronic wave function (WF) is obtained by applying a Jastrow factor, which takes into account dynamical correlations, to the most general mean-field ground state, written e…
