Hybrid Auxiliary Field Quantum Monte Carlo for Molecular Systems

Abstract

We propose a quantum Monte Carlo approach to solve the ground state many-body Schrodinger equation for the electronic ground state. The method combines optimization from variational Monte Carlo and propagation from auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo, in a way that significantly alleviates the sign problem. In application to molecular systems, we obtain highly accurate results for configurations dominated by either dynamic or static electronic correlation.
