3 Overview New quantum chemistry method: Works in terms of basis sets A continuous range of approximations from Hartree-Fock to full CI Based on Monte Carlo, but - No fixed nodes! Discuss the formalism Discuss application issues Show few results 3

4 Many-Fermion ground state (2 nd quantization) Hˆ = h T ˆ + ˆT V ˆ 1 2 ρ ρ ρ Electron density (matrix) 4

5 Goals Ground state energy Low lying excited states properties (correlation functions) How to do that rigorously??? 5

6 e β Ĥ φ Boltzmann is Hot! φ = a ψ + a ψ + a ψ = E0ψ 0 0 ae β E ψ 2 ae β β βe ψ 0 0 ae 0 E ψ ae β + βh 0 βh φ He φ E φ e φ 6

8 How to do it??? If electrons were non-interacting easy: h T ˆ 1 N 1 Slater Det. ( ) ( ) e β ρ φ φ = φ β φ β N New Slater Det. 8

9 Proof (BCH) T T βh ˆ ρ βh ˆ ρ e φφ ˆˆ ˆ 1 2 φn e c1c2 cn 0 Slater Det. T T T T T T βh ˆ ρ βh ˆ ρ βh ˆ ρ βh ˆ ρ βh ˆ ρ βh ˆ ρ = e cˆ ˆ ˆ 1e e c2e e cne 0 dˆ dˆ dˆ 1 2 N ( ) ( ) ( ) φ β φ β φ β 1 2 N Slater Det. N T T βh ρˆ βh ρˆ βh βh ˆi = ( ) ˆj φi ( β) = ( ) φ ij ij j j j= 1 e c e e c e 9

10 2-body = very hard ˆ T V ˆ e βρ ρ φ φ N = huge # of det. 1 10

11 Slicing time Divide to N slices: Use Thus: βhˆ βhˆ βhˆ βhˆ e = e e e N β = ˆ T ˆ T β ρ V ρ ˆ βh βt ρˆ 2 2 e = e e + O ( β ) N β 1 T 1 T 1 T ˆ β ρˆ Vρˆ β ρˆ Vρˆ β ρˆ Vρˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ T T T βh βt ρ 2 βt ρ 2 βt ρ 2 e = e e e e e e + O( β) 1 2 Goal: Represent 2-body exponential as sum of 1-body exponentials N 11

12 Hubbard-Stratonovich Strategy Fourier transform of a Gaussian is a Gaussian: aρ 2 2 a x iρx e e e dx An operator! a = V β x = σv β V σ V σ β iσ V ρ β 1ρ ρ β e e e d σ 12

13 Problem in evaluation of integrals Consider a multidimensional integral f W 1 T σ W σ 2 (... ) e f d 1 T σ W σ N σ1 σn σ 2 N e d σ Can t do on a grid! Why? Most points are on grid boundaries 1D 2:1 2D 8:1 3D 26:1 1D 2:2 2D 12:4 3D 56:8 13

14 Solution: Monte Carlo sampling The integral f W 1 T σ W σ 2 (... ) e f d 1 T σ W σ N σ1 σn σ 2 N e d σ Is calculated by producing random numbers ( σ1... σ N ) that are Gaussian distributed and summing f W ( σ... σ ) 1 N f ( σ... σ ) 1 N 14

16 Exercise A 1D particle is in a potential well V(x) ˆ 1 ˆ 2 H = p + V ( x) 2 Based on the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation derive a Monte Carlo method to calculate its GS energy Hint: pˆ β σ β 2 ˆ ( ) 2 iσp β = ( ) e ψ x A e e ψ x dσ 1 σ 2 β 2 = A e ψ( x σ β) dσ 16

18 What s causing the trouble? e Hˆ β = e ( h+ ivσ ) T ˆ ρ β W { σ } = 1 i σ T V ˆ ρ β O W ( β ) σ T Vσ β 1 Noise ( β ½ ) Signal ( β) Signal/Noise β ½ 0 Baer, Head-Gordon & Neuhauser, JCP 109, 6219 (1998) 18

21 The stabilizing shift α ( τ ) = Φ ( β τ ) ˆ ρ Φ( τ ) Φ ( β ) Φ( 0) when β, τ are very large: α( τ ) = Φ ˆ ρ Φ gs gs Need to know exact GS density! Use HF density as partial stabilizer 21 Baer, Head-Gordon & Neuhauser, JCP 109, 6219 (1998)

23 Things to note No uncontrolled approximation is made (no fixed nodes etc.) The auxiliary fields are sampled from a universal distribution W ( ) ( ) = 1 β T σ τ Vσ τ σ e 2 d 0 { } τ 23
