Hamiltonian symmetries in auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo calculations for electronic structure

Mario Motta, Shiwei Zhang, Garnet Kin-Lic Chan

We describe how to incorporate symmetries of the Hamiltonian into auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo calculations (AFQMC). Focusing on the case of Abelian symmetries, we show that…
