Selecting optimal unrestricted Hartree-Fock trial wavefunctions for phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo: Accuracy and limitations in modeling three iron-sulfur clusters

Don Danilov, Brad Ganoe, Leon Otis +3

Phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC) has emerged as a promising electronic structure method for correlated electronic systems. However, the quality of its predi…

A scalable route to first-order response properties with correlated sampling phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo

Leon Otis, Sri Gudivada, Marvin Friede +1

To make useful connections with experimental measurements, correlated electronic structure theories must accurately predict chemical properties in addition to energies. We present…

Optimization stability in excited state-specific variational Monte Carlo

Leon Otis, Eric Neuscamman

We investigate the issue of optimization stability in variance-based state-specific variational Monte Carlo, discussing the roles of the objective function, the complexity of wave…

A hybrid approach to excited-state-specific variational Monte Carlo and doubly excited states

Leon Otis, Isaac M. Craig, Eric Neuscamman

We extend our hybrid linear-method/accelerated-descent variational Monte Carlo optimization approach to excited states and investigate its efficacy in double excitations. In additi…
