Full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) is a stochastic approach for finding the ground state of a quantum many-body Hamiltonian. It is based on the dynamical evolution of a walker population in Hilbert space, which…
Population control is an essential component of any projector Monte Carlo algorithm. This control mechanism usually introduces a bias in the sampled quantities that is inversely proportional to the population size. In this paper, we…
We show that Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) is a Markov Chain in its present form. We construct the Markov matrix of FCIQMC for a two determinant system and hence compute the stationary distribution. These…
There has been recent literature discussion on the origin and severity of the `sign problem' in full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) and its `initiator' adaptation (i-FCIQMC), methods of interest and potential because…
By performing a stochastic dynamic in a space of Slater determinants, the Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) method has been able to obtain energies which are essentially free from systematic error to the basis set…
We extend the scope of full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) to be applied to coupled fermion-boson hamiltonians, alleviating the a priori truncation in boson occupation which is necessary for many other wave function…
We investigate the sign problem for full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC), a stochastic algorithm for finding the ground state solution of the Schr\"odinger equation with substantially reduced computational cost…
The recently proposed full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo method allows access to essentially exact ground-state energies of systems of interacting fermions substantially larger than previously tractable without knowledge of…
We expand upon the recent semi-stochastic adaptation to full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC). We present an alternate method for generating the deterministic space without a priori knowledge of the wave function and…
In this article we study examples of systematic biases that can occur in quantum Monte Carlo methods due to the accumulation of non-linear expectation values, and approaches by which these errors can be corrected. We begin with a study of…
We identify and rectify a crucial source of bias in the initiator FCIQMC algorithm. Non-initiator determinants (i.e. determinants whose population is below the initiator threshold) are subject to a systematic {\em undersampling} bias, which…
We introduce a family of methods for the full configuration interaction problem in quantum chemistry, based on the fast randomized iteration (FRI) framework [L.-H. Lim and J. Weare, SIAM Rev. 59, 547 (2017)]. These methods, which we term…
Auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) is typically formulated as an open-ended random walk in an overcomplete space of Slater determinants, implemented through a Langevin equation. However, the explicit form of the underlying…
We present a perturbative correction within initiator full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (i-FCIQMC). In the existing i-FCIQMC algorithm, a significant number of spawned walkers are discarded due to the initiator criteria.…
Using the homogeneous electron gas (HEG) as a model, we investigate the sources of error in the `initiator' adaptation to Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo (i-FCIQMC), with a view to accelerating convergence. In particular…
We present an approach to combining selected configuration interaction (SCI) and initiator full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (i-FCIQMC). In the current i-FCIQMC scheme, the space of initiators is chosen dynamically by a…
Quantum simulations are a powerful tool for exploring strongly correlated many-body phenomena. Yet, their reach is limited by the fermion sign problem, which causes configuration weights to become negative, compromising statistical…
For important classes of many-fermion problems, quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods allow exact calculations of ground-state and finite-temperature properties, without the sign problem. The list spans condensed matter, nuclear physics, and…
Density matrix quantum Monte Carlo (DMQMC) is a recently-developed method for stochastically sampling the $N$-particle thermal density matrix to obtain exact-on-average energies for model and \emph{ab initio} systems. We report a systematic…
Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) has been effectively applied to very large configuration interaction (CI) problems, and was recently adapted for use as an active space solver and combined with orbital…
