Joonho Lee, Fionn D. Malone, David R. Reichman

摘要:

苯的基态电子能是Eriksen及其同事最近盲测的重点[arXiv:2008.02678]。本文报道了无相位相干场量子Monte Carlo(ph-AFQMC)方法对这一问题的研究结果。我们研究了自旋限制的Hartree-Fock(RHF)和具有6电子和6轨道的活性空间的完全活性空间自洽场(CASSCF)的试探波函数(即,CAS(6,6))表。ph-AFQMC+RHF偏离了许多方法一致同意的值(即,-863 m $E_h$)偏离-3.1(3)m $E_h$,而ph-AFQMC+CAS(6,6)偏离相同值-1.3(4)m $E_h$。此外,我们还报道了在cc-pVTZ和cc-pVQZ基组下ph-AFQMC+RHF的冻结核相关能及其完全基组极限。我们的研究结果突出了准确性,灵活性和可扩展性的ph-AFQMC与简单的审判波函数。

英文摘要:

The ground state electronic energy of benzene is the focus of a recent blind test by Eriksen and co-workers [arXiv:2008.02678]. In this note, we report the phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC) results on the identical problem. We examine trial wavefunctions of the spin-restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF), and complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) with an active space of 6-electron and 6-orbital (i.e., CAS(6,6)) form for the cc-pVDZ basis set. ph-AFQMC+RHF deviates from the value where many methods agreed on (i.e., -863 m$E_h$) by -3.1(3) m$E_h$ whereas ph-AFQMC+CAS(6,6) deviates from the same value by -1.3(4) m$E_h$. In addition to this, we report the frozen core correlation energy of ph-AFQMC+RHF in the cc-pVTZ and cc-pVQZ basis sets as well as their complete basis set limit. Our findings highlight the accuracy, flexibility, and scalability of ph-AFQMC with simple trial wavefunctions.
