Spin-orbit interactions in electronic structure quantum Monte Carlo methods

We develop generalization of the fixed-phase diffusion Monte Carlo method for Hamiltonians which explicitly depend on particle spins such as for spin-orbit interactions. The method is formulated in…

Quantum Monte Carlo with variable spins.

A proof for an upper-bound property for complex nonlocal operators, which allows for the implementation of T-moves to ensure the variational property of fixed-phase spin-orbit diffusion Monte Carlo is presented.

Wave functions for quantum Monte Carlo calculations in solids: Orbitals from density functional theory with hybrid exchange-correlation functionals

We investigate how the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo energy of solids depends on single-particle orbitals used in Slater--Jastrow wave functions. We demonstrate that the dependence can be…

Ab initio relativistic effective potentials with spin–orbit operators. IV. Cs through Rn

A refined version of the ‘‘shape consistent’’ effective potential procedure of Christiansen, Lee, and Pitzer was used to compute averaged relativistic effective potentials (AREP) and spin‐orbit…

Energy-consistent pseudopotentials for quantum Monte Carlo calculations.

The authors present scalar-relativistic energy-consistent Hartree-Fock pseudopotentials for the main-group elements that are suitable for quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations and demonstrate their transferability through extensive benchmark calculations of atomic excitation spectra as well as molecular properties.

Quantum Monte Carlo with variable spins: Fixed-phase and fixed-node approximations.

The fixed-phase approach opens new possibilities for more general trial wave functions with further opportunities for increasing accuracy in practical calculations, and some of these properties on calculations of selected first-row systems that recover the fixed-node results with quantitatively similar levels of the corresponding biases.
