This website contains the QMC tutorial of the 2021 LTTC winter school
<a href="https://www.irsamc.ups-tlse.fr/lttc/Luchon">Tutorials in Theoretical Chemistry</a>.
</p>
<p>
We propose different exercises to understand quantum Monte Carlo (QMC)
methods. In the first section, we start with the computation of the energy of a
hydrogen atom using numerical integration. The goal of this section is
to familarize yourself with the concept of <i>local energy</i>.
Then, we introduce the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method which
computes a statistical estimate of the expectation value of the energy
associated with a given wave function, and apply this approach to the
hydrogen atom.
Finally, we present the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method which
we use here to estimate the exact energy of the hydrogen atom and of the H<sub>2</sub> molecule,
starting from an approximate wave function.
</p>
<p>
Code examples will be given in Python and Fortran. You can use
whatever language you prefer to write the program.
</p>
<p>
We consider the stationary solution of the Schrödinger equation, so
the wave functions considered here are real: for an \(N\) electron
system where the electrons move in the 3-dimensional space,
\(\Psi : \mathbb{R}^{3N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\). In addition, \(\Psi\)
is defined everywhere, continuous, and infinitely differentiable.
</p>
<p>
All the quantities are expressed in <i>atomic units</i> (energies,
coordinates, etc).
</p>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-org57a402c" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org57a402c"><span class="section-number-3">1.1</span> Energy and local energy</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-1">
<p>
For a given system with Hamiltonian \(\hat{H}\) and wave function \(\Psi\), we define the local energy as
</p>
<p>
\[
E_L(\mathbf{r}) = \frac{\hat{H} \Psi(\mathbf{r})}{\Psi(\mathbf{r})},
\]
</p>
<p>
where \(\mathbf{r}\) denotes the 3N-dimensional electronic coordinates.
</p>
<p>
The electronic energy of a system, \(E\), can be rewritten in terms of the
local energy \(E_L(\mathbf{r})\) as
</p>
\begin{eqnarray*}
E & = & \frac{\langle \Psi| \hat{H} | \Psi\rangle}{\langle \Psi |\Psi \rangle}
= \frac{\int \Psi(\mathbf{r})\, \hat{H} \Psi(\mathbf{r})\, d\mathbf{r}}{\int \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right]^2 d\mathbf{r}} \\
& = & \frac{\int \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r})\right]^2\, \frac{\hat{H} \Psi(\mathbf{r})}{\Psi(\mathbf{r})}\,d\mathbf{r}}{\int \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right]^2 d\mathbf{r}}
= \frac{\int \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r})\right]^2\, E_L(\mathbf{r})\,d\mathbf{r}}{\int \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right]^2 d\mathbf{r}}
\end{eqnarray*}
<p>
For few dimensions, one can easily compute \(E\) by evaluating the integrals on a grid but, for a high number of dimensions, one can resort to Monte Carlo techniques to compute \(E\).
</p>
<p>
To this aim, recall that the probabilistic <i>expected value</i> of an arbitrary function \(f(x)\)
with respect to a probability density function \(P(x)\) is given by
</p>
<p>
\[ \langle f \rangle_p = \int_{-\infty}^\infty P(x)\, f(x)\,dx, \]
</p>
<p>
where a probability density function \(p(x)\) is non-negative
and integrates to one:
</p>
<p>
\[ \int_{-\infty}^\infty P(x)\,dx = 1. \]
</p>
<p>
Similarly, we can view the the energy of a system, \(E\), as the expected value of the local energy with respect to
a probability density \(P(\mathbf{r}}\) defined in 3\(N\) dimensions:
</p>
<p>
\[ E = \int E_L(\mathbf{r}) P(\mathbf{r})\,d\mathbf{r}} \equiv \langle E_L \rangle_{\Psi^2}\,, \]
</p>
<p>
where the probability density is given by the square of the wave function:
</p>
<p>
\[ P(\mathbf{r}) = \frac{|Psi(\mathbf{r}|^2){\int \left |\Psi(\mathbf{r})|^2 d\mathbf{r}}\,. \]
</p>
<p>
If we can sample \(N_{\rm MC}\) configurations \(\{\mathbf{r}\}\) distributed as \(p\), we can estimate \(E\) as the average of the local energy computed over these configurations:
</p>
<p>
$$ E &asymp; \frac{1}{N<sub>\rm MC</sub>} &sum;<sub>i=1</sub><sup>N<sub>\rm MC</sub></sup> E<sub>L</sub>(\mathbf{r}<sub>i</sub>} \,.

In this section, we consider the hydrogen atom with the following
wave function:
</p>
<p>
\[
\Psi(\mathbf{r}) = \exp(-a |\mathbf{r}|)
\]
</p>
<p>
We will first verify that, for a particular value of \(a\), \(\Psi\) is an
eigenfunction of the Hamiltonian

<p>
Write a function which computes the local kinetic energy at \(\mathbf{r}\).
The function accepts <code>a</code> and <code>r</code> as input arguments and returns the
local kinetic energy.
</p>
</div>
<p>
The local kinetic energy is defined as \[-\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta \Psi}{\Psi}.\]
</p>
<p>
We differentiate \(\Psi\) with respect to \(x\):
</p>
<p>
\[\Psi(\mathbf{r}) = \exp(-a\,|\mathbf{r}|) \]
\[\frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial x}
= \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial |\mathbf{r}|} \frac{\partial |\mathbf{r}|}{\partial x}
= - \frac{a\,x}{|\mathbf{r}|} \Psi(\mathbf{r}) \]
</p>
<p>
and we differentiate a second time:
</p>
<p>
\[
\frac{\partial^2 \Psi}{\partial x^2} =
\left( \frac{a^2\,x^2}{|\mathbf{r}|^2} -
\frac{a(y^2+z^2)}{|\mathbf{r}|^{3}} \right) \Psi(\mathbf{r}).
\]
</p>
<p>
The Laplacian operator \(\Delta = \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} +
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2} + \frac{\partial^2}{\partial z^2}\)
applied to the wave function gives:
</p>
<p>
\[
\Delta \Psi (\mathbf{r}) = \left(a^2 - \frac{2a}{\mathbf{|r|}} \right) \Psi(\mathbf{r})\,.
\]
</p>
<p>
Therefore, the local kinetic energy is
\[
-\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta \Psi}{\Psi} (\mathbf{r}) = -\frac{1}{2}\left(a^2 - \frac{2a}{\mathbf{|r|}} \right)
\]

If the space is discretized in small volume elements \(\mathbf{r}_i\)

are the values of the wave function square at \(\mathbf{r}_i\)

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-4">
<p>
The variance of the local energy is a functional of \(\Psi\)
which measures the magnitude of the fluctuations of the local
energy associated with \(\Psi\) around its average:
</p>
<p>
\[
\sigma^2(E_L) = \frac{\int \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r})\right]^2\, \left[
E_L(\mathbf{r}) - E \right]^2 \, d\mathbf{r}}{\int \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right]^2 d\mathbf{r}}
\]
which can be simplified as
</p>
<p>
\[ \sigma^2(E_L) = \langle E_L^2 \rangle_{\Psi^2} - \langle E_L \rangle_{\Psi^2}^2.\]
</p>
<p>
If the local energy is constant (i.e. \(\Psi\) is an eigenfunction of
\(\hat{H}\)) the variance is zero, so the variance of the local
energy can be used as a measure of the quality of a wave function.

<p>
Numerical integration with deterministic methods is very efficient
in low dimensions. When the number of dimensions becomes large,
instead of computing the average energy as a numerical integration
on a grid, it is usually more efficient to use Monte Carlo sampling.
</p>
<p>
Moreover, Monte Carlo sampling will alow us to remove the bias due
to the discretization of space, and compute a statistical confidence
interval.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-3-1">
<p>
To compute the statistical error, you need to perform \(M\)
independent Monte Carlo calculations. You will obtain \(M\) different
estimates of the energy, which are expected to have a Gaussian
distribution for large \(M\), according to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem">Central Limit Theorem</a>.
</p>
<p>
The estimate of the energy is
</p>
<p>
\[
E = \frac{1}{M} \sum_{i=1}^M E_M
\]
</p>
<p>
The variance of the average energies can be computed as
</p>
<p>
\[
\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{M-1} \sum_{i=1}^{M} (E_M - E)^2
\]
</p>
<p>
And the confidence interval is given by
</p>
<p>
\[
E \pm \delta E, \text{ where } \delta E = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{M}}
\]

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-3-2">
<p>
We will now perform our first Monte Carlo calculation to compute the
energy of the hydrogen atom.
</p>
<p>
Consider again the expression of the energy
</p>
\begin{eqnarray*}
E & = & \frac{\int E_L(\mathbf{r})\left[\Psi(\mathbf{r})\right]^2\,d\mathbf{r}}{\int \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right]^2 d\mathbf{r}}\,.
\end{eqnarray*}
<p>
Clearly, the square of the wave function is a good choice of probability density to sample but we will start with something simpler and rewrite the energy as
</p>
\begin{eqnarray*}
E & = & \frac{\int E_L(\mathbf{r})\frac{|\Psi(\mathbf{r})|^2}{P(\mathbf{r})}P(\mathbf{r})\, \,d\mathbf{r}}{\int \frac{|\Psi(\mathbf{r})|^2 }{P(\mathbf{r})}P(\mathbf{r})d\mathbf{r}}\,.
\end{eqnarray*}
<p>
Here, we will sample a uniform probability \(P(\mathbf{r})\) in a cube of volume \(L^3\) centered at the origin:
</p>
<p>
\[ P(\mathbf{r}) = \frac{1}{L^3}\,, \]
</p>
<p>
and zero outside the cube.
</p>
<p>
One Monte Carlo run will consist of \(N_{\rm MC}\) Monte Carlo iterations. At every Monte Carlo iteration:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Draw a random point \(\mathbf{r}_i\) in the box \((-5,-5,-5) \le
(x,y,z) \le (5,5,5)\)</li>
<li>Compute \([\Psi(\mathbf{r}_i)]^2\) and accumulate the result in a
variable <code>normalization</code></li>
<li>Compute \([\Psi(\mathbf{r}_i)]^2 \times E_L(\mathbf{r}_i)\), and accumulate the
result in a variable <code>energy</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
Once all the iterations have been computed, the run returns the average energy
\(\bar{E}_k\) over the \(N_{\rm MC}\) iterations of the run.
</p>
<p>
To compute the statistical error, perform \(M\) independent runs. The
final estimate of the energy will be the average over the
\(\bar{E}_k\), and the variance of the \(\bar{E}_k\) will be used to
compute the statistical error.

billion, so we use 8-byte integers (<code>integer*8</code>) to represent it, as
well as the index of the current step.

<h3 id="orga44380c"><span class="section-number-3">3.3</span> Metropolis sampling with \(\Psi^2\)</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-3-3">
<p>
We will now use the square of the wave function to sample random
points distributed with the probability density
\[
P(\mathbf{r}) = \frac{|Psi(\mathbf{r}|^2){\int \left |\Psi(\mathbf{r})|^2 d\mathbf{r}}
\]
</p>
<p>
The expression of the average energy is now simplified as the average of
the local energies, since the weights are taken care of by the
sampling:
</p>
<p>
\[
E \approx \frac{1}{N_{\rm MC}}\sum_{i=1}^{N_{\rm MC} E_L(\mathbf{r}_i)
\]
</p>
<p>
To sample a chosen probability density, an efficient method is the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis%E2%80%93Hastings_algorithm">Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm</a>. Starting from a random
initial position \(\mathbf{r}_0\), we will realize a random walk:
</p>
<p>
\[ \mathbf{r}_0 \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_1 \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_2 \ldots \mathbf{r}_{N_{\rm MC}}\,, \]
</p>
<p>
following the following algorithm.
</p>
<p>
At every step, we propose a new move according to a transition probability \(T(\mathbf{r}_{n}\rightarrow\mathbf{r}_{n+1})\) of our choice.
</p>
<p>
For simplicity, we will move the electron in a 3-dimensional box of side \(2\delta L\) centered at the current position
of the electron:
</p>
<p>
\[
\mathbf{r}_{n+1} = \mathbf{r}_{n} + \delta L \, \mathbf{u}
\]
</p>
<p>
where \(\delta L\) is a fixed constant, and
\(\mathbf{u}\) is a uniform random number in a 3-dimensional box
\((-1,-1,-1) \le \mathbf{u} \le (1,1,1)\).
</p>
<p>
After having moved the electron, we add the
accept/reject step that guarantees that the distribution of the
\(\mathbf{r}_n\) is \(\Psi^2\). This amounts to accepting the move with
probability
</p>
<p>
\[
A{\mathbf{r}_{n}\rightarrow\mathbf{r}_{n+1}) = \min\left(1,\frac{T(\mathbf{r}_{n},\mathbf{r}_{n+1}) P(\mathbf{r}_{n+1})}{T(\mathbf{r}_{n+1},\mathbf{r}_n)P(\mathbf{r}_{n})}\right)\,,
\]
</p>
<p>
which, for our choice of transition probability, becomes
</p>
<p>
\[
A{\mathbf{r}_{n}\rightarrow\mathbf{r}_{n+1}) = \min\left(1,\frac{P(\mathbf{r}_{n+1})}{P(\mathbf{r}_{n})}\right)= \min\left(1,\frac{\Psi(\mathbf{r}_{n+1})^2}{\Psi(\mathbf{r}_{n})^2}
\]
</p>
<p>
Explain why the transition probability cancels out in the expression of \(A\). Also note that we do not need to compute the norm of the wave function!
</p>
<p>
The algorithm is summarized as follows:
</p>
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>Compute \(\Psi\) at a new position \(\mathbf{r'} = \mathbf{r}_n +
\delta L\, \mathbf{u}\)</li>
<li>Compute the ratio \(A = \frac{\left[\Psi(\mathbf{r'})\right]^2}{\left[\Psi(\mathbf{r}_{n})\right]^2}\)</li>
<li>Draw a uniform random number \(v \in [0,1]\)</li>
<li>if \(v \le A\), accept the move : set \(\mathbf{r}_{n+1} = \mathbf{r'}\)</li>
<li>else, reject the move : set \(\mathbf{r}_{n+1} = \mathbf{r}_n\)</li>
<li>evaluate the local energy at \(\mathbf{r}_{n+1}\)</li>
</ol>
<div class="note">
<p>
A common error is to remove the rejected samples from the
calculation of the average. <b>Don't do it!</b>
</p>
<p>
All samples should be kept, from both accepted and rejected moves.
</p>
</div>
<p>
If the box is infinitely small, the ratio will be very close
to one and all the steps will be accepted. However, the moves will be
very correlated and you will visit the configurational space very slowly.
</p>
<p>
On the other hand, if you propose too large moves, the number of
accepted steps will decrease because the ratios might become
small. If the number of accepted steps is close to zero, then the
space is not well sampled either.
</p>
<p>
The size of the move should be adjusted so that it is as large as
possible, keeping the number of accepted steps not too small. To
achieve that, we define the acceptance rate as the number of
accepted steps over the total number of steps. Adjusting the time
step such that the acceptance rate is close to 0.5 is a good
compromise for the current problem.

Compute also the acceptance rate, so that you can adapt the time

Can you observe a reduction in the statistical error?

<h3 id="org89c81c5"><span class="section-number-3">3.5</span> Generalized Metropolis algorithm</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-3-5">
<p>
One can use more efficient numerical schemes to move the electrons by choosing a smarter expression for the transition probability.
</p>
<p>
The Metropolis acceptance step has to be adapted accordingly to ensure that the detailed balance condition is satisfied. This means that
the acceptance probability \(A\) is chosen so that it is consistent with the
probability of leaving \(\mathbf{r}_n\) and the probability of
entering \(\mathbf{r}_{n+1}\):
</p>
<p>
\[ A(\mathbf{r}_{n} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_{n+1}) = \min \left( 1,
\frac{T(\mathbf{r}_{n+1} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_{n}) P(\mathbf{r}_{n+1})}
{T(\mathbf{r}_{n} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_{n+1}) P(\mathbf{r}_{n})}
\right)
\]
where \(T(\mathbf{r}_n \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_{n+1})\) is the
probability of transition from \(\mathbf{r}_n\) to
\(\mathbf{r}_{n+1}\).
</p>
<p>
In the previous example, we were using uniform sampling in a box centered
at the current position. Hence, the transition probability was symmetric
</p>
<p>
\[
T(\mathbf{r}_{n} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_{n+1}) = T(\mathbf{r}_{n+1} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_{n})
\text{constant}\,,
\]
</p>
<p>
so the expression of \(A\) was simplified to the ratios of the squared
wave functions.
</p>
<p>
Now, if instead of drawing uniform random numbers, we
choose to draw Gaussian random numbers with zero mean and variance
\(\delta t\), the transition probability becomes:
</p>
<p>
\[
T(\mathbf{r}_{n} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_{n+1}) =
\frac{1}{(2\pi\,\delta t)^{3/2}} \exp \left[ - \frac{\left(
\mathbf{r}_{n+1} - \mathbf{r}_{n} \right)^2}{2\delta t} \right]\,.
\]
</p>
<p>
Furthermore, to sample the density even better, we can "push" the electrons
into in the regions of high probability, and "pull" them away from
the low-probability regions. This will ncrease the
acceptance ratios and improve the sampling.
</p>
<p>
To do this, we can use the gradient of the probability density
</p>
<p>
\[
\frac{\nabla [ \Psi^2 ]}{\Psi^2} = 2 \frac{\nabla \Psi}{\Psi}\,,
\]
</p>
<p>
and add the so-called drift vector, so that the numerical scheme becomes a
drifted diffusion with transition probability:
</p>
<p>
\[
T(\mathbf{r}_{n} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}_{n+1}) =
\frac{1}{(2\pi\,\delta t)^{3/2}} \exp \left[ - \frac{\left(
\mathbf{r}_{n+1} - \mathbf{r}_{n} - \frac{\nabla
\Psi(\mathbf{r}_n)}{\Psi(\mathbf{r}_n)} \right)^2}{2\,\delta t} \right]\,.
\]
</p>
<p>
and the corrsponding move is proposed as
</p>
<p>
\[
\mathbf{r}_{n+1} = \mathbf{r}_{n} + \delta t\, \frac{\nabla
\Psi(\mathbf{r})}{\Psi(\mathbf{r})} + \chi \,,
\]
</p>
<p>
where \(\chi\) is a Gaussian random variable with zero mean and
variance \(\delta t\).
</p>
<p>
The algorithm of the previous exercise is only slighlty modified as:
</p>
<ol class="org-ol">
<li><p>
Compute a new position \(\mathbf{r'} = \mathbf{r}_n +
\delta t\, \frac{\nabla \Psi(\mathbf{r})}{\Psi(\mathbf{r})} + \chi\)
</p>
<p>
Evaluate \(\Psi\) and \(\frac{\nabla \Psi(\mathbf{r})}{\Psi(\mathbf{r})}\) at the new position
</p></li>
<li>Compute the ratio $A = \frac{T(\mathbf{r}<sub>n+1</sub> &rarr; \mathbf{r}<sub>n</sub>) P(\mathbf{r}<sub>n+1</sub>)}</li>
</ol>
<p>
{T(\mathbf{r}<sub>n</sub> &rarr; \mathbf{r}<sub>n+1</sub>) P(\mathbf{r}<sub>n</sub>)}$
</p>
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>Draw a uniform random number \(v \in [0,1]\)</li>
<li>if \(v \le A\), accept the move : set \(\mathbf{r}_{n+1} = \mathbf{r'}\)</li>
<li>else, reject the move : set \(\mathbf{r}_{n+1} = \mathbf{r}_n\)</li>
<li>evaluate the local energy at \(\mathbf{r}_{n+1}\)</li>

<h3 id="orgfb5c875"><span class="section-number-3">4.1</span> Schrödinger equation in imaginary time</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-1">
<p>
Consider the time-dependent Schrödinger equation:
</p>
<p>
\[
i\frac{\partial \Psi(\mathbf{r},t)}{\partial t} = \hat{H} \Psi(\mathbf{r},t)\,.
\]
</p>
<p>
We can expand a given starting wave function, \(\Psi(\mathbf{r},0)\), in the basis of the eigenstates
of the time-independent Hamiltonian:
</p>
<p>
\[
\Psi(\mathbf{r},0) = \sum_k a_k\, \Phi_k(\mathbf{r}).
\]
</p>
<p>
The solution of the Schrödinger equation at time \(t\) is
</p>
<p>
\[
\Psi(\mathbf{r},t) = \sum_k a_k \exp \left( -i\, E_k\, t \right) \Phi_k(\mathbf{r}).
\]
</p>
<p>
Now, if we replace the time variable \(t\) by an imaginary time variable
\(\tau=i\,t\), we obtain
</p>
<p>
\[
-\frac{\partial \psi(\mathbf{r}, \tau)}{\partial \tau} = \hat{H} \psi(\mathbf{r}, \tau)
\]
</p>
<p>
where \(\psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) = \Psi(\mathbf{r},-i\,)\)
and
\[
\psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) = \sum_k a_k \exp( -E_k\, \tau) \phi_k(\mathbf{r}).
\]
For large positive values of \(\tau\), \(\psi\) is dominated by the
\(k=0\) term, namely the lowest eigenstate.
So we can expect that simulating the differetial equation in
imaginary time will converge to the exact ground state of the
system.

<h3 id="org8524696"><span class="section-number-3">4.2</span> Diffusion and branching</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-2">
<p>
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_equation">diffusion equation</a> of particles is given by
</p>
<p>
\[
\frac{\partial \phi(\mathbf{r},t)}{\partial t} = D\, \Delta \phi(\mathbf{r},t).
\]
</p>
<p>
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate">rate of reaction</a> \(v\) is the speed at which a chemical reaction
takes place. In a solution, the rate is given as a function of the
concentration \([A]\) by
</p>
<p>
\[
v = \frac{d[A]}{dt},
\]
</p>
<p>
where the concentration \([A]\) is proportional to the number of particles.
</p>
<p>
These two equations allow us to interpret the Schrödinger equation
in imaginary time as the combination of:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>a diffusion equation with a diffusion coefficient \(D=1/2\) for the
kinetic energy, and</li>
<li>a rate equation for the potential.</li>
</ul>
<p>
The diffusion equation can be simulated by a Brownian motion:
\[ \mathbf{r}_{n+1} = \mathbf{r}_{n} + \sqrt{\delta t}\, \chi \]
where \(\chi\) is a Gaussian random variable, and the rate equation
can be simulated by creating or destroying particles over time (a
so-called branching process).
</p>
<p>
<i>Diffusion Monte Carlo</i> (DMC) consists in obtaining the ground state of a
system by simulating the Schrödinger equation in imaginary time, by
the combination of a diffusion process and a branching process.

<h3 id="orgfb0b533"><span class="section-number-3">4.3</span> Importance sampling</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-3">
<p>
In a molecular system, the potential is far from being constant,
and diverges at inter-particle coalescence points. Hence, when the
rate equation is simulated, it results in very large fluctuations
in the numbers of particles, making the calculations impossible in
practice.
Fortunately, if we multiply the Schrödinger equation by a chosen
<i>trial wave function</i> \(\Psi_T(\mathbf{r})\) (Hartree-Fock, Kohn-Sham
determinant, CI wave function, <i>etc</i>), one obtains
</p>
<p>
\[
-\frac{\partial \psi(\mathbf{r},\tau)}{\partial \tau} \Psi_T(\mathbf{r}) =
\left[ -\frac{1}{2} \Delta \psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) + V(\mathbf{r}) \psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \right] \Psi_T(\mathbf{r})
\]
</p>
<p>
Defining \(\Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau) = \psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \Psi_T(\mathbf{r})\), (see appendix for details)
</p>
<p>
\[
-\frac{\partial \Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau)}{\partial \tau}
= -\frac{1}{2} \Delta \Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau) +
\nabla \left[ \Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \frac{\nabla \Psi_T(\mathbf{r})}{\Psi_T(\mathbf{r})}
\right] + E_L(\mathbf{r}) \Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau)
\]
</p>
<p>
The new "kinetic energy" can be simulated by the drifted diffusion
scheme presented in the previous section (VMC).
The new "potential" is the local energy, which has smaller fluctuations
when \(\Psi_T\) gets closer to the exact wave function. It can be simulated by
changing the number of particles according to \(\exp\left[ -\delta t\,
\left(E_L(\mathbf{r}) - E_\text{ref}\right)\right]\)
where \(E_{\text{ref}}\) is a constant introduced so that the average
of this term is close to one, keeping the number of particles rather
constant.
</p>
<p>
This equation generates the <i>N</i>-electron density \(\Pi\), which is the
product of the ground state with the trial wave function. It
introduces the constraint that \(\Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau)=0\) where
\(\Psi_T(\mathbf{r})=0\). In the few cases where the wave function has no nodes,
such as in the hydrogen atom or the H<sub>2</sub> molecule, this
constraint is harmless and we can obtain the exact energy. But for
systems where the wave function has nodes, this scheme introduces an
error known as the <i>fixed node error</i>.

<p>
Now that we have a process to sample \(\Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau) =
\psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \Psi_T(\mathbf{r})\), we can compute the exact
energy of the system, within the fixed-node constraint, as:
</p>
<p>
\[
E = \lim_{\tau \to \infty} \frac{\int \Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau) E_L(\mathbf{r}) d\mathbf{r}}
{\int \Pi(\mathbf{r},\tau) d\mathbf{r}} = \lim_{\tau \to
\infty} E(\tau).
\]
</p>
<p>
\[
E(\tau) = \frac{\int \psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \Psi_T(\mathbf{r}) E_L(\mathbf{r}) d\mathbf{r}}
{\int \psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \Psi_T(\mathbf{r}) d\mathbf{r}}
= \frac{\int \psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \hat{H} \Psi_T(\mathbf{r}) d\mathbf{r}}
{\int \psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \Psi_T(\mathbf{r}) d\mathbf{r}}
= \frac{\langle \psi_\tau | \hat{H} | \Psi_T \rangle}
{\langle \psi_\tau | \Psi_T \rangle}
\]
</p>
<p>
As \(\hat{H}\) is Hermitian,
</p>
<p>
\[
E(\tau) = \frac{\langle \psi_\tau | \hat{H} | \Psi_T \rangle}
{\langle \psi_\tau | \Psi_T \rangle}
= \frac{\langle \Psi_T | \hat{H} | \psi_\tau \rangle}
{\langle \Psi_T | \psi_\tau \rangle}
= E[\psi_\tau] \frac{\langle \Psi_T | \psi_\tau \rangle}
{\langle \Psi_T | \psi_\tau \rangle}
= E[\psi_\tau]
\]
</p>
<p>
So computing the energy within DMC consists in generating the
density \(\Pi\) with random walks, and simply averaging the local
energies computed with the trial wave function.

Instead of having a variable number of particles to simulate the
branching process, one can choose to sample \([\Psi_T(\mathbf{r})]^2\) instead of
\(\psi(\mathbf{r},\tau) \Psi_T(\mathbf{r})\), and consider the term
\(\exp \left( -\delta t\,( E_L(\mathbf{r}) - E_{\text{ref}} \right)\) as a
cumulative product of weights:
</p>
<p>
\[
W(\mathbf{r}_n, \tau)

This algorithm is less stable than the branching algorithm: it
requires to have a value of \(E_\text{ref}\) which is close to the
fixed-node energy, and a good trial wave function. Its big
advantage is that it is very easy to program starting from a VMC
code, so this is what we will do in the next section.

where \(\mathbf{r}_1\) and \(\mathbf{r}_2\) denote the electron
coordinates and \(\mathbf{R}_A\) and \(\mathbf{R}_B\) the coordinates of
the nuclei.
