Using Density Matrix Quantum Monte Carlo for Calculating Exact-on-Average Energies for ab Initio Hamiltonians in a Finite Basis Set

Journal Article Petras, Hayley R. ; Ramadugu, Sai Kumar ; Malone, Fionn D. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

We here apply the recently developed initiator density matrix quantum Monte Carlo (i-DMQMC) to a variety of atoms and molecules in vacuum. i-DMQMC samples the exact density matrix of a Hamiltonian at finite temperature and combines the accuracy of full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC)—full configuration interaction (FCI) or exact energies in a finite basis set—with finite temperature. In order to explore the applicability of i-DMQMC for molecular systems, we choose to study a recently developed test set by Rubenstein and co-workers: Be, H_2O, and H₁₀ at near-equilibrium and stretched geometries. We find that, for Be and H₂O, i-DMQMCmore »« less

On Achieving High Accuracy in Quantum Chemical Calculations of 3 d Transition Metal-Containing Systems: A Comparison of Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo with Coupled Cluster, Density Functional Theory, and Experiment for Diatomic Molecules

Journal Article Shee, James ; Rudshteyn, Benjamin ; Arthur, Evan J. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

According to the article, the bond dissociation energies of a set of 44 3d transition metal-containing diatomics are computed with phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC) utilizing a correlated sampling technique. We investigate molecules with H, N, O, F, Cl, and S ligands, including those in the 3dMLBE20 database first compiled by Truhlar and co-workers with calculated and experimental values that have since been revised by various groups. In order to make a direct comparison of the accuracy of our ph-AFQMC calculations with previously published results from 10 DFT functionals, CCSD(T), and icMR-CCSD(T), we establish an objective selection protocol whichmore »« less

Improving the efficiency of configurational-bias Monte Carlo: A density-guided method for generating bending angle trials for linear and branched molecules

Journal Article Sepehri, Aliasghar ; Loeffler, Troy D. ; Chen, Bin - Journal of Chemical Physics

A new method has been developed to generate bending angle trials to improve the acceptance rate and the speed of configurational-bias Monte Carlo. Whereas traditionally the trial geometries are generated from a uniform distribution, in this method we attempt to use the exact probability density function so that each geometry generated is likely to be accepted. In actual practice, due to the complexity of this probability density function, a numerical representation of this distribution function would be required. This numerical table can be generated a priori from the distribution function. This method has been tested on a united-atom model ofmore »« less

Geometrical splitting technique to improve the computational efficiency in Monte Carlo calculations for proton therapy

Journal Article Ramos-Mendez, Jose ; Perl, Joseph ; Faddegon, Bruce ; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: To present the implementation and validation of a geometrical based variance reduction technique for the calculation of phase space data for proton therapy dose calculation. Methods: The treatment heads at the Francis H Burr Proton Therapy Center were modeled with a new Monte Carlo tool (TOPAS based on Geant4). For variance reduction purposes, two particle-splitting planes were implemented. First, the particles were split upstream of the second scatterer or at the second ionization chamber. Then, particles reaching another plane immediately upstream of the field specific aperture were split again. In each case, particles were split by a factor ofmore »« less

Understanding and improving the efficiency of full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo

Journal Article Vigor, W. A. ; Bearpark, M. J. ; Spencer, J. S. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Within full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo, we investigate how the statistical error behaves as a function of the parameters which control the stochastic sampling. We define the inefficiency as a measure of the statistical error per particle sampling the space and per time step and show there is a sizeable parameter regime where this is minimised. We find that this inefficiency increases sublinearly with Hilbert space size and can be reduced by localising the canonical Hartree–Fock molecular orbitals, suggesting that the choice of basis impacts the method beyond that of the sign problem.
