Efficient emulators for scattering using eigenvector continuation

Abstract

Eigenvector continuation EC has been shown to accurately and efficiently reproduce ground states for targeted sets of Hamiltonian parameters. It uses as variational basis vectors the corresponding ground-state eigensolutions from selected other sets of parameters. Here we extend the EC approach to scattering using the Kohn variational principle. We first test it using a model for S-wave nucleon-nucleon scattering and then demonstrate that it also works to give accurate predictions for non-local potentials, charged-particle scattering, complex optical potentials, and higher partial waves. These proofs-of-principle validate EC as an accurate emulator for applying Bayesian inference to parameter estimation constrained by scattering observables. The efficiency of such emulators is because the accuracy is achieved with a small number of variational basis elements and the central computations are just linear algebra calculations in the space spanned by this basis.

Typos in Eqs~(7) and (8) are corrected. Erratum will be submitted
