Basis set incompleteness errors in fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo calculations on non-covalent interactions

Kousuke Nakano, Benjamin X. Shi, Dario Alfè +1

Basis set incompleteness error (BSIE) is a common source of error in quantum chemistry (QC) calculations, but it has not been comprehensively studied in fixed-node Diffusion Monte…
