A simple and efficient approach to the optimization of correlated wave functions
Anthony Scemama, Claudia Filippi
Abstract
We present a simple and efficient method to optimize within energy minimization the determinantal component of the many-body wave functions commonly used in quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The approach obtains the optimal wave function as an approximate perturbative solution of an effective Hamiltonian iteratively constructed via Monte Carlo sampling. The effectiveness of the method as well as its ability to substantially improve the accuracy of quantum Monte Carlo calculations is demonstrated by optimizing a large number of parameters for the ground state of acetone and the difficult case of the 11B1u state of hexatriene.
