A Phaseless Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo Perspective on the Uniform Electron Gas at Finite Temperatures: Issues, Observations, and Benchmark Study
Joonho Lee, Miguel A. Morales, Fionn D. Malone
We investigate the viability of the phaseless finite temperature auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-FT-AFQMC) method for ab initio systems using the uniform electron gas as a…
Accelerating the Convergence of Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo inSolids with Optimized Gaussian Basis Sets
Miguel A. Morales, Fionn D. Malone
We investigate the use of optimized correlation consistent gaussian basis sets for the study of insulating solids with auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC). The exponents of…
Systematic Comparison and Cross-validation of Fixed-Node Diffusion Monte Carlo and Phaseless Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo in Solids
Fionn D. Malone, Anouar Benali, Miguel A. Morales +3
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are some of the most accurate methods for simulating correlated electronic systems. We investigate the compatibility, strengths and weaknesses of…
Accelerating Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of Solids with Graphical Processing Unit
Fionn D. Malone, Shuai Zhang, Miguel A. Morales
We outline how auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) can leverage graphical processing units (GPUs) to accelerate the simulation of solid state sytems. By exploiting conserva…
QMCPACK: Advances in the development, efficiency, and application of auxiliary field and real-space variational and diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo
P. R. C. Kent, Abdulgani Annaberdiyev, Anouar Benali +21
We review recent advances in the capabilities of the open source ab initio Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) package QMCPACK and the workflow tool Nexus used for greater efficiency and rep…
First-principles Equations of State and Structures of Liquid Metals in Multi-megabar Conditions
Shuai Zhang, Miguel A. Morales
Liquid metals at extreme pressures and temperatures are widely interested in the high-pressure community. Based on density functional theory molecular dynamics, we conduct first-pr…
