PyQMC: an all-Python real-space quantum Monte Carlo module in PySCF

William A. Wheeler, Shivesh Pathak, Kevin Kleiner +11

We describe a new open-source Python-based package for high accuracy correlated electron calculations using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) in real space: PyQMC. PyQMC implements modern…

Combining density functional theories to correctly describe the energy, lattice structure and electronic density of functional oxide perovskites

Kiel T. Williams, Lucas K. Wagner, Claudio Cazorla +1

Functional oxide perovskites are the pillar of cutting-edge technological applications. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations are the theoretical methods of choice to underst…

Using Local Operator Fluctuations to Identify Wave Function Improvements

Kiel T. Williams, Lucas K. Wagner

A method is developed that allows analysis of quantum Monte Carlo simulations to identify errors in trial wave functions. The purpose of this method is to allow for the systematic…
