用精确试探波函数解决辅助场量子蒙特卡罗中的符号问题

Taming the sign problem in auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo using accurate trial wave functions

Ankit Mahajan, Sandeep Sharma

摘要:

我们探索了将精确的试探波函数引入自由投影辅助场量子蒙特卡罗(FP-AFQMC)的不同方法。试用状态包括耦合集群单打和双打,多斯莱特,和对称投影平均场波函数。我们适应最近提出的快速多斯莱特局部能量评估算法的fp-AFQMC,使使用长扩展从选定的配置相互作用的方法可行。我们演示了这些试验波函数如何缓解量子化学问题中的符号问题和加速收敛,允许将fp-AFQMC应用于大规模的系统。我们对广泛研究的$\text{Cu}_2\text{O}_2^{2+}$模型系统的计算表明,许多以前报道的异构化能与接近精确的fp-AFQMC值有很大差异。

英文摘要:

We explore different ways of incorporating accurate trial wave functions into free projection auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (fp-AFQMC). Trial states employed include coupled cluster singles and doubles, multi-Slater, and symmetry projected mean-field wave functions. We adapt a recently proposed fast multi-Slater local energy evaluation algorithm for fp-AFQMC, making the use of long expansions from selected configuration interaction methods feasible. We demonstrate how these trial wave functions serve to mitigate the sign problem and accelerate convergence in quantum chemical problems, allowing the application of fp-AFQMC to systems of substantial sizes. Our calculations on the widely studied $\text{Cu}_2\text{O}_2^{2+}$ model system show that many previously reported isomerization energies differ substantially from the near-exact fp-AFQMC value.
