Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods such as variational Monte Carlo and fixed node diffusion Monte Carlo depend heavily on the quality of the trial wave function. Although Slater-Jastrow wave functions are the most commonly used variational…

The accurate but expensive product of geminals ansatz may be approximated by a geminal power, but this approach sacrifices size consistency. Here we show both analytically and numerically that a size consistent form very similar to the…
