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…

Can phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo with broken symmetry trials describe iron-sulfur clusters?

Eirik F. Kjønstad, Huanchen Zhai, James Shee +2

Phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) has in several cases been found to perform well on strongly correlated systems. Here, we benchmark the method for three iron-s…
