Abstract
Recent variational calculations of the deuteron and the triton illustrate that simple wave function ansatze become more effective after evolving the nucleon-nucleon potential to lower momentum (``V_lowk''). However, wave function artifacts from the use of sharp cutoffs in relative momentum decrease effectiveness for small cutoffs (< 2 fm^-1) and slow down convergence in harmonic oscillator bases. These sharp cutoff artifacts are eliminated when V_lowk is generated using a sufficiently smooth cutoff regulator.
