高斯基分子系统的非线性场量子Monte Carlo计算

Auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo calculations of molecular systems with a Gaussian basis

W. A. Al-Saidi, Shiwei Zhang, Henry Krakauer

摘要:

我们将最近引入的无相位相干场量子蒙特卡罗(QMC)方法推广到任何单粒子基,并将其应用于具有高斯基组的分子系统。QMC方法通常随着系统大小而有利地缩放,因为低功耗。一个QMC方法与辅助领域的原则上允许薛定谔方程的精确解在选定的基础。然而,众所周知的符号/相位问题导致统计噪声以指数方式增加。无相位方法通过用依赖于试波函数的近似相位条件来约束非线性场路径积分中的路径来控制该问题。在本计算中,试验波函数是来自Hartree-Fock计算的单个Slater行列式。计算的全电子总能量显示出典型的系统误差不超过几毫哈特里的精确结果相比。在我们研究的分子中的平衡几何形状下,这种精度大致与具有单激发和双激发以及具有非迭代三重态的耦合簇CCSD(T)相当。对于H $_2$ O中的拉伸键,我们的方法比CCSD(T)具有更好的整体精度和更均匀的行为。

英文摘要:

We extend the recently introduced phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) approach to any single-particle basis, and apply it to molecular systems with Gaussian basis sets. QMC methods in general scale favorably with system size, as a low power. A QMC approach with auxiliary fields in principle allows an exact solution of the Schrodinger equation in the chosen basis. However, the well-known sign/phase problem causes the statistical noise to increase exponentially. The phaseless method controls this problem by constraining the paths in the auxiliary-field path integrals with an approximate phase condition that depends on a trial wave function. In the present calculations, the trial wave function is a single Slater determinant from a Hartree-Fock calculation. The calculated all-electron total energies show typical systematic errors of no more than a few milli-Hartrees compared to exact results. At equilibrium geometries in the molecules we studied, this accuracy is roughly comparable to that of coupled-cluster with single and double excitations and with non-iterative triples, CCSD(T). For stretched bonds in H$_2$O, our method exhibits better overall accuracy and a more uniform behavior than CCSD(T).
