Fixed Node Diffusion Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) in a few
words
Input of QMC : Trial wave function : |ψT > (ex : |HF >,
|DFT > ,|CASSCF >)
Stochastic solution of the Schrödinger equation :
H|φFN
0
>= EFN
0
|φFN
0
>
Fixed Node approximation : imposition of the nodes of
|ψT >
φFN
0
(r1, r2, ..., rN) = 0 when ψT(r1, r2, ..., rN) = 0
EFN
0
is variational :
EFN
0
≥ Eexact
0
