QMCPACK uses Slater--Jastrow type trial wavefunctions in conjunction with a sophisticated optimizer capable of optimizing tens of thousands of parameters. The orbital space auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo method is also implemented, enabling cross validation between different highly accurate methods. The code is specifically optimized for calculations with large numbers of electrons on the latest high performance computing architectures, including multicore central processing unit and graphical processing unit systems. We detail the program's capabilities, outline its structure, and give examples of its use in current research calculations.

theory (WFT) via the range separation (RS) of the interelectronic Coulomb operator, we obtain accurate fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) energies with compact multi-determinant trial wave functions. +In particular, we combine here short-range exchange-correlation functionals with a flavor of selected configuration interaction (SCI) known as \emph{configuration interaction using a perturbative selection made iteratively} (CIPSI), a scheme that we label RS-DFT-CIPSI. +One of the take-home messages of the present study is that RS-DFT-CIPSI trial wave functions yield lower fixed-node energies with more compact multi-determinant expansions than CIPSI, especially for small basis sets. +Indeed, as the CIPSI component of RS-DFT-CIPSI is relieved from describing the short-range part of the correlation hole around the electron-electron coalescence points, the number of determinants in the trial wave function required to reach a given accuracy is significantly reduced as compared to a conventional CIPSI calculation. +Importantly, by performing various numerical experiments, we evidence that the RS-DFT scheme essentially plays the role of a simple Jastrow factor by mimicking short-range correlation effects, hence avoiding the burden of performing a stochastic optimization. +Considering the 55 atomization energies of the Gaussian-1 benchmark set of molecules, we show that using a fixed value of $\mu=0.5$~bohr$^{-1}$ provides effective error cancellations as well as compact trial wave functions, making the present method a good candidate for the accurate description of large chemical systems. +\end{abstract} + +\maketitle + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\section{Introduction} +\label{sec:intro} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +Solving the Schr\"odinger equation for the ground state of atoms and molecules is a complex task that has kept theoretical and computational chemists busy for almost a hundred years now. \cite{Schrodinger_1926} +In order to achieve this formidable endeavor, various strategies have been carefully designed and efficiently implemented in various quantum chemistry software packages. + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\subsection{Wave function-based methods} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +One of these strategies consists in relying on wave function theory \cite{Pople_1999} (WFT) and, in particular, on the full configuration interaction (FCI) method. +However, FCI delivers only the exact solution of the Schr\"odinger equation within a finite basis (FB) of one-electron functions, the FB-FCI energy being an upper bound to the exact energy in accordance with the variational principle. +The FB-FCI wave function and its corresponding energy form the eigenpair of an approximate Hamiltonian defined as +the projection of the exact Hamiltonian onto the finite many-electron basis of +all possible Slater determinants generated within this finite one-electron basis. +The FB-FCI wave function can then be interpreted as a constrained solution of the +true Hamiltonian forced to span the restricted space provided by the finite one-electron basis. +In the complete basis set (CBS) limit, the constraint is lifted and the exact energy and wave function are recovered. +Hence, the accuracy of a FB-FCI calculation can be systematically improved by increasing the size of the one-electron basis set. +Nevertheless, the exponential growth of its computational cost with the number of electrons and with the basis set size is prohibitive for most chemical systems. + +In recent years, the introduction of new algorithms \cite{White_1992,Booth_2009,Thom_2010,Xu_2018,Motta_2018,Deustua_2018,Eriksen_2018,Eriksen_2019,Ghanem_2019} and the +revival \cite{Abrams_2005,Bytautas_2009,Roth_2009,Giner_2013,Knowles_2015,Holmes_2016,Holmes_2017,Sharma_2017,Evangelista_2014,Liu_2016,Tubman_2016,Tubman_2020,Per_2017,Zimmerman_2017,Ohtsuka_2017,Garniron_2018} +of selected configuration interaction (SCI) +methods \cite{Bender_1969,Huron_1973,Buenker_1974} significantly expanded the range of applicability of this family of methods. +Importantly, one can now routinely compute the ground- and excited-state energies of small- and medium-sized molecular systems with near-FCI accuracy. \cite{Booth_2010,Cleland_2010,Daday_2012,Motta_2017,Chien_2018,Loos_2018a,Loos_2019,Loos_2020b,Loos_2020c,Williams_2020,Eriksen_2020} +However, although the prefactor is reduced, the overall computational scaling remains exponential unless some bias is introduced leading +to a loss of size consistency. \cite{Evangelisti_1983,Cleland_2010,Tenno_2017,Ghanem_2019} + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\subsection{Density-based methods} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +Another route to solve the Schr\"odinger equation is density-functional theory (DFT). \cite{Hohenberg_1964,Kohn_1999} +Present-day DFT calculations are almost exclusively done within the so-called Kohn-Sham (KS) formalism, \cite{Kohn_1965} which +transfers the complexity of the many-body problem to the universal and yet unknown exchange-correlation (xc) functional thanks to a judicious mapping between a non-interacting reference system and its interacting analog which both have the same one-electron density. +KS-DFT \cite{Hohenberg_1964,Kohn_1965} is now the workhorse of electronic structure calculations for atoms, molecules and solids thanks to its very favorable accuracy/cost ratio. \cite{ParrBook} +As compared to WFT, DFT has the indisputable advantage of converging much faster with respect to the size of the basis set. \cite{FraMusLupTou-JCP-15,Giner_2018,Loos_2019d,Giner_2020} +However, unlike WFT where, for example, many-body perturbation theory provides a precious tool to go toward the exact wave function, there is no systematic way to improve approximate xc functionals toward the exact functional. +Therefore, one faces, in practice, the unsettling choice of the \emph{approximate} xc functional. \cite{Becke_2014} +Moreover, because of the approximate nature of the xc functional, although the resolution of the KS equations is variational, the resulting KS energy does not have such property. + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\subsection{Stochastic methods} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) belongs to the family of stochastic methods known as quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) and is yet another numerical scheme to obtain +the exact solution of the Schr\"odinger equation with a different +twist. \cite{Foulkes_2001,Austin_2012,Needs_2020} +In DMC, the solution is imposed to have the same nodes (or zeroes) +as a given (approximate) antisymmetric trial wave function. \cite{Reynolds_1982,Ceperley_1991} +Within this so-called fixed-node (FN) approximation, +the FN-DMC energy associated with a given trial wave function is an upper +bound to the exact energy, and the latter is recovered only when the +nodes of the trial wave function coincide with the nodes of the exact +wave function. +The trial wave function, which can be single- or multi-determinantal in nature depending on the type of correlation at play and the target accuracy, is the key ingredient dictating, via the quality of its nodal surface, the accuracy of the resulting energy and properties. + +The polynomial scaling of its computational cost with respect to the number of electrons and with the size +of the trial wave function makes the FN-DMC method particularly attractive. +This favorable scaling, its very low memory requirements and +its adequacy with massively parallel architectures make it a +serious alternative for high-accuracy simulations of large systems. \cite{Nakano_2020,Scemama_2013,Needs_2020,Kim_2018,Kent_2020} +In addition, the total energies obtained are usually far below +those obtained with the FCI method in computationally tractable basis +sets because the constraints imposed by the fixed-node approximation +are less severe than the constraints imposed by the finite-basis +approximation. +However, because it is not possible to minimize directly the FN-DMC energy with respect +to the linear and non-linear parameters of the trial wave function, the +fixed-node approximation is much more difficult to control than the +finite-basis approximation, especially to compute energy differences. +The conventional approach consists in multiplying the determinantal part of the trial wave +function by a positive function, the Jastrow factor, which main assignment is to take into +account the bulk of the dynamical electron correlation and reduce the statistical fluctuations without altering the location of the nodes. +%electron-electron cusp and the short-range correlation effects. +The determinantal part of the trial wave function is then stochastically re-optimized within variational +Monte Carlo (VMC) in the presence of the Jastrow factor (which can also be simultaneously optimized) and the nodal +surface is expected to be improved. \cite{Umrigar_2005,Scemama_2006,Umrigar_2007,Toulouse_2007,Toulouse_2008} +Using this technique, it has been shown that the chemical accuracy could be reached within +FN-DMC.\cite{Petruzielo_2012} + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\subsection{Single-determinant trial wave functions} +\label{sec:SD} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +The qualitative picture of the electronic structure of weakly +correlated systems, such as organic molecules near their equilibrium +geometry, is usually well represented with a single Slater +determinant. This feature is in part responsible for the success of +DFT and coupled cluster (CC) theory. +Likewise, DMC with a single-determinant trial wave function can be used as a +single-reference post-Hartree-Fock method for weakly correlated systems, with an accuracy comparable +to CCSD(T), \cite{Dubecky_2014,Grossman_2002} the gold standard of WFT for ground state energies. \cite{Cizek_1969,Purvis_1982} +In single-determinant DMC calculations, the only degree of freedom available to +reduce the fixed-node error are the molecular orbitals with which the +Slater determinant is built. +Different molecular orbitals can be chosen: +Hartree-Fock (HF), Kohn-Sham (KS), natural orbitals (NOs) of a +correlated wave function, or orbitals optimized in the +presence of a Jastrow factor. +Nodal surfaces obtained with a KS determinant are in general +better than those obtained with a HF determinant,\cite{Per_2012} and +of comparable quality to those obtained with a Slater determinant +built with NOs.\cite{Wang_2019} Orbitals obtained in the presence +of a Jastrow factor are generally superior to KS +orbitals.\cite{Filippi_2000,Scemama_2006,HaghighiMood_2017,Ludovicy_2019} + +The description of electron correlation within DFT is very different +from correlated methods such as FCI or CC. +As mentioned above, within KS-DFT, one solves a mean-field problem +with a modified potential incorporating the effects of electron correlation +while maintaining the exact ground state density, whereas in +correlated methods the real Hamiltonian is used and the +electron-electron interaction is explicitly considered. +Nevertheless, as the orbitals are one-electron functions, +the procedure of orbital optimization in the presence of a +Jastrow factor can be interpreted as a self-consistent field procedure +with an effective Hamiltonian,\cite{Filippi_2000} similarly to DFT. +So KS-DFT can be viewed as a very cheap way of introducing the effect of +correlation in the orbital coefficients dictating the location of the nodes of a single Slater determinant. +Yet, even when employing the exact xc potential in a complete basis set, a fixed-node error necessarily remains because the +single-determinant ans\"atz does not have enough flexibility for describing the +nodal surface of the exact correlated wave function for a generic many-electron +system. \cite{Ceperley_1991,Bressanini_2012,Loos_2015b} +If one wants to recover the exact energy, a multi-determinant parameterization +of the wave functions must be considered. + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\subsection{Multi-determinant trial wave functions} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +The single-determinant trial wave function approach obviously fails in the presence of strong correlation, like in +transition metal complexes, low-spin open-shell systems, and covalent bond breaking situations which cannot be qualitatively described by a single electronic configuration. +In such cases or when very high accuracy is required, a viable alternative is to consider the FN-DMC method as a +``post-FCI'' method. A multi-determinant trial wave function is then produced by +approaching FCI with a SCI method such as \emph{configuration interaction using a perturbative +selection made iteratively} (CIPSI). \cite{Giner_2013,Giner_2015,Caffarel_2016_2} +When the basis set is enlarged, the trial wave function gets closer to +the exact wave function, so we expect the nodal surface to be +improved.\cite{Caffarel_2016} +Note that, as discussed in Ref.~\onlinecite{Caffarel_2016_2}, there is no mathematical guarantee that increasing the size of the one-electron basis lowers the FN-DMC energy, because the variational principle does not explicitly optimize the nodal surface, nor the FN-DMC energy. +However, in all applications performed so far, \cite{Giner_2013,Scemama_2014,Scemama_2016,Giner_2015,Caffarel_2016,Scemama_2018,Scemama_2018b,Scemama_2019} a systematic decrease of the FN-DMC energy has been observed whenever the SCI trial wave function is improved variationally upon enlargement of the basis set. + +The technique relying on CIPSI multi-determinant trial wave functions described above has the advantage of using near-FCI quality nodes in a given basis +set, which is perfectly well defined and therefore makes the calculations systematically improvable and reproducible in a +black-box way without needing any QMC expertise. +Nevertheless, this procedure cannot be applied to large systems because of the +exponential growth of the number of Slater determinants in the trial wave function. +Extrapolation techniques have been employed to estimate the FN-DMC energies +obtained with FCI wave functions,\cite{Scemama_2018,Scemama_2018b,Scemama_2019} and other authors +have used a combination of the two approaches where highly truncated +CIPSI trial wave functions are stochastically re-optimized in VMC under the presence +of a Jastrow factor to keep the number of determinants +small,\cite{Giner_2016} and where the consistency between the +different wave functions is kept by imposing a constant energy +difference between the estimated FCI energy and the variational energy +of the SCI wave function.\cite{Dash_2018,Dash_2019} +Nevertheless, finding a robust protocol to obtain high accuracy +calculations which can be reproduced systematically and +applicable to large systems with a multi-configurational character is +still an active field of research. The present paper falls +within this context. + +The central idea of the present work, and the launch pad for the remainder of this study, is that one can combine the various strengths of WFT, DFT, and QMC in order to create a new hybrid method with more attractive features and higher accuracy. +In particular, we show here that one can combine CIPSI and KS-DFT via the range separation (RS) of the interelectronic Coulomb operator \cite{Sav-INC-96a,Toulouse_2004} --- a scheme that we label RS-DFT-CIPSI in the following --- to obtain accurate FN-DMC energies with compact multi-determinant trial wave functions. +An important take-home message from the present study is that the RS-DFT scheme essentially plays the role of a simple Jastrow factor by mimicking short-range correlation effects. +Thanks to this, RS-DFT-CIPSI multi-determinant trial wave functions yield lower fixed-node energies with more compact multi-determinant expansion than CIPSI, especially for small basis sets, and can be produced in a completely deterministic and systematic way, without the burden of the stochastic optimization. + +The present manuscript is organized as follows. +In Sec.~\ref{sec:rsdft-cipsi}, we provide theoretical details about the CIPSI algorithm (Sec.~\ref{sec:CIPSI}) and range-separated DFT (Sec.~\ref{sec:rsdft}). +Computational details are reported in Sec.~\ref{sec:comp-details}. +In Sec.~\ref{sec:mu-dmc}, we discuss the influence of the range-separation parameter on the fixed-node error as well as the link between RS-DFT and Jastrow factors. +Section \ref{sec:atomization} examines the performance of the present scheme for the atomization energies of the Gaussian-1 set of molecules. +Finally, we draw our conclusion in Sec.~\ref{sec:conclusion}. +Unless otherwise stated, atomic units are used. + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\section{Theory} +\label{sec:rsdft-cipsi} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +%==================== +\subsection{The CIPSI algorithm} +\label{sec:CIPSI} +%==================== +Beyond the single-determinant representation, the best +multi-determinant wave function one can wish for --- in a given basis set --- is the FCI wave function. +FCI is the ultimate goal of post-HF methods, and there exist several systematic +improvements on the path from HF to FCI: +i) increasing the maximum degree of excitation of CI methods (CISD, CISDT, +CISDTQ,~\ldots), or ii) expanding the size of a complete active space +(CAS) wave function until all the orbitals are in the active space. +SCI methods take a shortcut between the HF +determinant and the FCI wave function by increasing iteratively the +number of determinants on which the wave function is expanded, +selecting the determinants which are expected to contribute the most +to the FCI wave function. At each iteration, the lowest eigenpair is +extracted from the CI matrix expressed in the determinant subspace, +and the FCI energy can be estimated by adding up to the variational energy +a second-order perturbative correction (PT2), $\EPT$. +The magnitude of $\EPT$ is a measure of the distance to the FCI energy +and a diagnostic of the quality of the wave function. +Within the CIPSI algorithm originally developed by Huron \textit{et al.} +in Ref.~\onlinecite{Huron_1973} and efficiently implemented in \emph{Quantum +Package} as described in Ref.~\onlinecite{Garniron_2019}, the PT2 +correction is computed simultaneously to the determinant selection at no extra cost. +$\EPT$ is then the sole parameter of the CIPSI algorithm and is chosen to be its convergence criterion. + +%================================= +\subsection{Range-separated DFT} +\label{sec:rsdft} +%================================= + +Range-separated DFT (RS-DFT) was introduced in the seminal work of Savin. \cite{Sav-INC-96a,Toulouse_2004} +In RS-DFT, the Coulomb operator entering the electron-electron repulsion is split into two pieces: +\begin{equation} + \frac{1}{r} + = w_{\text{ee}}^{\text{sr}, \mu}(r) + + w_{\text{ee}}^{\text{lr}, \mu}(r), +\end{equation} +where +\begin{align} + w_{\text{ee}}^{\text{sr},\mu}(r) & = \frac{\erfc \qty( \mu\, r)}{r}, + & + w_{\text{ee}}^{\text{lr},\mu}(r) & = \frac{\erf \qty( \mu\, r)}{r} +\end{align} +are the singular short-range (sr) part and the non-singular long-range (lr) part, respectively, $\mu$ is the range-separation parameter which controls how rapidly the short-range part decays, $\erf(x)$ is the error function, and $\erfc(x) = 1 - \erf(x)$ is its complementary version. + +The main idea behind RS-DFT is to treat the short-range part of the +interaction using a density functional, and the long-range part within a WFT method like FCI in the present case. +The parameter $\mu$ controls the range of the separation, and allows +to go continuously from the KS Hamiltonian ($\mu=0$) to +the FCI Hamiltonian ($\mu = \infty$). + +To rigorously connect WFT and DFT, the universal +Levy-Lieb density functional \cite{Lev-PNAS-79,Lie-IJQC-83} is +decomposed as +\begin{equation} + \mathcal{F}[n] = \mathcal{F}^{\text{lr},\mu}[n] + \bar{E}_{\text{Hxc}}^{\text{sr,}\mu}[n], + \label{Fdecomp} +\end{equation} +where $n$ is a one-electron density, +$\mathcal{F}^{\text{lr},\mu}$ is a long-range universal density +functional and $\bar{E}_{\text{Hxc}}^{\text{sr,}\mu}$ is the +complementary short-range Hartree-exchange-correlation (Hxc) density +functional. \cite{Savin_1996,Toulouse_2004} +The exact ground state energy can be therefore obtained as a minimization +over a multi-determinant wave function as follows: +\begin{equation} + \label{min_rsdft} E_0= \min_{\Psi} \qty{ + \mel{\Psi}{\hat{T}+\hat{W}_\text{{ee}}^{\text{lr},\mu}+\hat{V}_{\text{ne}}}{\Psi} + + \bar{E}^{\text{sr},\mu}_{\text{Hxc}}[n_\Psi] + }, +\end{equation} +with $\hat{T}$ the kinetic energy operator, +$\hat{W}_\text{ee}^{\text{lr},\mu}$ the long-range +electron-electron interaction, +$n_\Psi$ the one-electron density associated with $\Psi$, +and $\hat{V}_{\text{ne}}$ the electron-nucleus potential. +The minimizing multi-determinant wave function $\Psi^\mu$ +can be determined by the self-consistent eigenvalue equation +\begin{equation} + \label{rs-dft-eigen-equation} + \hat{H}^\mu[n_{\Psi^{\mu}}] \ket{\Psi^{\mu}}= \mathcal{E}^{\mu} \ket{\Psi^{\mu}}, +\end{equation} +with the long-range interacting Hamiltonian +\begin{equation} + \label{H_mu} + \hat{H}^\mu[n_{\Psi^{\mu}}] = \hat{T}+\hat{W}_{\text{ee}}^{\text{lr},\mu}+\hat{V}_{\text{ne}}+ \hat{\bar{V}}_{\text{Hxc}}^{\text{sr},\mu}[n_{\Psi^{\mu}}], +\end{equation} +where +$\hat{\bar{V}}_{\text{Hxc}}^{\text{sr},\mu}$ +is the complementary short-range Hartree-exchange-correlation +potential operator. +Once $\Psi^{\mu}$ has been calculated, the electronic ground-state +energy is obtained as +\begin{equation} + \label{E-rsdft} + E_0= \mel{\Psi^{\mu}}{\hat{T}+\hat{W}_\text{{ee}}^{\text{lr},\mu}+\hat{V}_{\text{ne}}}{\Psi^{\mu}}+\bar{E}^{\text{sr},\mu}_{\text{Hxc}}[n_{\Psi^\mu}]. +\end{equation} + +Note that, for $\mu=0$, the long-range interaction vanishes, \ie, +$w_{\text{ee}}^{\text{lr},\mu=0}(r) = 0$, and thus RS-DFT reduces to standard +KS-DFT and $\Psi^\mu$ is the KS determinant. For $\mu = \infty$, the long-range +interaction becomes the standard Coulomb interaction, \ie, +$w_{\text{ee}}^{\text{lr},\mu\to\infty}(r) = r^{-1}$, and thus RS-DFT reduces +to standard WFT and $\Psi^\mu$ is the FCI wave function. + +%%% FIG 1 %%% +\begin{figure*} + \includegraphics[width=0.7\linewidth]{algorithm.pdf} + \caption{Algorithm showing the generation of the RS-DFT wave + function $\Psi^{\mu}$ starting from $\Psi^{(0)}$. + The outer (macro-iteration) and inner (micro-iteration) loops are represented in red and blue, respectively. + The steps common to both loops are represented in purple. + DIIS extrapolations of the one-electron density are introduced in both the outer and inner loops in order to speed up convergence of the self-consistent process.} + \label{fig:algo} +\end{figure*} +%%% %%% %%% %%% + +Hence, range separation creates a continuous path connecting smoothly the KS determinant to the +FCI wave function. Because the KS nodes are of higher quality than the +HF nodes (see Sec.~\ref{sec:SD}), we expect that using wave functions built along this path +will always provide reduced fixed-node errors compared to the path +connecting HF to FCI which consists in increasing the number of determinants. + +We follow the KS-to-FCI path by performing FCI calculations using the +RS-DFT Hamiltonian with different values of $\mu$. +Our algorithm, depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig:algo}, starts with a +single- or multi-determinant wave function $\Psi^{(0)}$ which can +be obtained in many different ways depending on the system that one considers. +One of the particularity of the present work is that we +use the CIPSI algorithm to perform approximate FCI calculations +with the RS-DFT Hamiltonian $\hat{H}^\mu$. \cite{Giner_2018} +This provides a multi-determinant trial wave function $\Psi^{\mu}$ that one can ``feed'' to DMC. +In the outer (macro-iteration) loop (red), at the $k$th iteration, a CIPSI selection is performed +to obtain $\Psi^{\mu\,(k)}$ with the RS-DFT Hamiltonian $\hat{H}^{\mu\,(k)}$ +parameterized using the current one-electron density $n^{(k)}$. +At each iteration, the number of determinants in $\Psi^{\mu\,(k)}$ increases. +One exits the outer loop when the absolute energy difference between two successive macro-iterations $\Delta E^{(k)}$ is below a threshold $\tau_1$ that has been set to $10^{-3}$ \hartree{} in the present study and which is consistent with the CIPSI threshold (see Sec.~\ref{sec:comp-details}). +An inner (micro-iteration) loop (blue) is introduced to accelerate the +convergence of the self-consistent calculation, in which the set of +determinants in $\Psi^{\mu\,(k,l)}$ is kept fixed, and only the diagonalization of +$\hat{H}^{\mu\,(k,l)}$ is performed iteratively with the updated density $n^{(k,l)}$. +The inner loop is exited when the absolute energy difference between two successive micro-iterations $\Delta E^{(k,l)}$ is below a threshold $\tau_2$ that has been here set to $10^{-2} \times \tau_1$. +The convergence of the algorithm was further improved +by introducing a direct inversion in the iterative subspace (DIIS) +step to extrapolate the one-electron density both in the outer and inner loops. \cite{Pulay_1980,Pulay_1982} +We emphasize that any range-separated post-HF method can be +implemented using this scheme by just replacing the CIPSI step by the +post-HF method of interest. +Note that, thanks to the self-consistent nature of the algorithm, +the final trial wave function $\Psi^{\mu}$ is independent of the starting wave function $\Psi^{(0)}$. + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\section{Computational details} +\label{sec:comp-details} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +All reference data (geometries, atomization +energies, zero-point energy, etc) were taken from the NIST +computational chemistry comparison and benchmark database +(CCCBDB).\cite{nist} +In the reference atomization energies, the zero-point vibrational +energy was removed from the experimental atomization energies. + +All calculations have been performed using Burkatzki-Filippi-Dolg (BFD) +pseudopotentials \cite{Burkatzki_2007,Burkatzki_2008} with the associated double-, +triple-, and quadruple-$\zeta$ basis sets (V$X$Z-BFD). +The small-core BFD pseudopotentials include scalar relativistic effects. +Coupled cluster with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] \cite{Scuseria_1988,Scuseria_1989} and KS-DFT energies have been computed with +\emph{Gaussian09},\cite{g16} using the unrestricted formalism for open-shell systems. + +The CIPSI calculations have been performed with \emph{Quantum +Package}.\cite{Garniron_2019,qp2_2020} We consider the short-range version +of the local-density approximation (LDA)\cite{Sav-INC-96a,TouSavFla-IJQC-04} and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) \cite{PerBurErn-PRL-96} +xc functionals defined in +Ref.~\onlinecite{GolWerStoLeiGorSav-CP-06} (see also +Refs.~\onlinecite{TouColSav-JCP-05,GolWerSto-PCCP-05}) that we label srLDA and srPBE respectively in the following. +In this work, we target chemical accuracy, so +the convergence criterion for stopping the CIPSI calculations +has been set to $\EPT < 10^{-3}$ \hartree{} or $ \Ndet > 10^7$. +All the wave functions are eigenfunctions of the $\Hat{S}^2$ spin operator, as +described in Ref.~\onlinecite{Applencourt_2018}. + +QMC calculations have been performed with \textit{QMC=Chem},\cite{Scemama_2013} +in the determinant localization approximation (DLA),\cite{Zen_2019} +where only the determinantal component of the trial wave +function is present in the expression of the wave function on which +the pseudopotential is localized.

This gives the CI expansions of $\Psi^\mu$. +Then, within the same set of determinants we optimize the CI coefficients in the presence of +a simple one- and two-body Jastrow factor $e^J$ with $J = J_\text{eN} + J_\text{ee}$ and +\begin{subequations} +\begin{gather} + J_\text{eN} = - \sum_{A=1}^{\Nat} \sum_{i=1}^{\Nelec} \qty( \frac{\alpha_A\, r_{iA}}{1 + \alpha_A\, r_{iA}} )^2, +\label{eq:jast-eN} \\ + J_\text{ee} = \sum_{i < j}^{\Nelec} \frac{a\, r_{ij}}{1 + b\, r_{ij}}. +\label{eq:jast-ee} +\end{gather} +\end{subequations} +The one-body Jastrow factor $J_\text{eN}$ contains the electron-nucleus terms (where $\Nat$ is the number of nuclei) with a single parameter +$\alpha_A$ per nucleus. +The two-body Jastrow factor $J_\text{ee}$ gathers the electron-electron terms +where the sum over $i < j$ loops over all unique electron pairs. +In Eqs.~\eqref{eq:jast-eN} and \eqref{eq:jast-ee}, $r_{iA}$ is the distance between the $i$th electron and the $A$th nucleus while $r_{ij}$ is the interlectronic distance between electrons $i$ and $j$. +The parameters $a=1/2$ +and $b=0.89$ were fixed, and the parameters $\gamma_{\text{O}}=1.15$ and $\gamma_{\text{H}}=0.35$ +were obtained by energy minimization of a single determinant. +The optimal CI expansion $\Psi^J$ is obtained by sampling the matrix elements +of the Hamiltonian ($\mathbf{H}$) and overlap ($\mathbf{S}$) matrices in the +basis of Jastrow-correlated determinants $e^J D_i$: +\begin{subequations} +\begin{gather} +H_{ij} = \expval{ \frac{e^J D_i}{\Psi^J}\, \frac{\hat{H}\, (e^J D_j)}{\Psi^J} }, +\\ +S_{ij} = \expval{ \frac{e^J D_i}{\Psi^J}\, \frac{e^J D_j}{\Psi^J} }, +\end{gather} +\end{subequations} +and solving Eq.~\eqref{eq:ci-j}.\cite{Nightingale_2001} + +We can easily compare $\Psi^\mu$ and $\Psi^J$ as they are developed +on the same set of Slater determinants. +In Fig.~\ref{fig:overlap}, we plot the overlap +$\braket*{\Psi^J}{\Psi^\mu}$ obtained for water as a function of $\mu$ (left graph) +as well as the FN-DMC energy of the wave function +$\Psi^\mu$ as a function of $\mu$ together with that of $\Psi^J$ (right graph). + +%%% FIG 3 %%% +\begin{figure*} + \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{overlap.pdf} + \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{h2o-200-dmc.pdf} + \caption{Left: Overlap between $\Psi^\mu$ and $\Psi^J$ as a function of $\mu$ for \ce{H2O}. + Right: FN-DMC energy of $\Psi^\mu$ (red curve) as a function of $\mu$, together with + the FN-DMC energy of $\Psi^J$ (blue line) for \ce{H2O}. + The width of the lines represent the statistical error bars. + For these two trial wave functions, the CI expansion consists of the 200 most important + determinants of the FCI expansion obtained with the VDZ-BFD basis (see Sec.~\ref{sec:rsdft-j} for more details).

First, we +report in the legend of the right panel of Fig~\ref{fig:densities} the integrated on-top pair density +\begin{equation} + \expval{ P } = \int d\br \,n_2(\br,\br), +\end{equation} +obtained for both $\Psi^\mu$ and $\Psi^J$, +where $n_2(\br_1,\br_2)$ is the two-body density [normalized to $\Nelec(\Nelec-1)$]. +Then, in order to have a pictorial representation of both the one-body density $n(\br)$ and the on-top +pair density $n_2(\br,\br)$, we report in Fig.~\ref{fig:densities} +the plots of $n(\br)$ and $n_2(\br,\br)$ along one of the \ce{O-H} axis of the water molecule. + +From these data, one can clearly notice several trends. +First, the integrated on-top pair density $\expval{ P }$ decreases when $\mu$ increases, +which is expected as the two-electron interaction increases in +$H^\mu[n]$. +Second, Fig.~\ref{fig:densities} shows that the relative variations of the on-top pair density with respect to $\mu$ +are much more important than that of the one-body density, the latter +being essentially unchanged between $\mu=0$ and $\mu=\infty$ while the +former can vary by about 10$\%$ in some regions. +%TODO TOTO +In the high-density region of the \ce{O-H} bond, the value of the on-top +pair density obtained from $\Psi^J$ is superimposed with +$\Psi^{\mu=0.5}$, and at a large distance the on-top pair density of $\Psi^J$ is +the closest to that of $\Psi^{\mu=\infty}$. The integrated on-top pair density +obtained with $\Psi^J$ is $\expval{P}=1.404$, which nestles between the values obtained at +$\mu=0.5$ and $\mu=1$~bohr$^{-1}$, consistently with the FN-DMC energies +and the overlap curve depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig:overlap}. + +These data suggest that the wave functions $\Psi^{0.5 \le \mu \le 1}$ and $\Psi^J$ are close, +and therefore that the operators that produced these wave functions (\ie, $H^\mu[n]$ and $e^{-J}He^J$) contain similar physics. +Considering the form of $\hat{H}^\mu[n]$ [see Eq.~\eqref{H_mu}], +one can notice that the differences with respect to the usual bare Hamiltonian come +from the non-divergent two-body interaction $\hat{W}_{\text{ee}}^{\text{lr},\mu}$ +and the effective one-body potential $\hat{\bar{V}}_{\text{Hxc}}^{\text{sr},\mu}[n]$ which is the functional derivative of the Hxc functional. +The roles of these two terms are therefore very different: with respect +to the exact ground-state wave function $\Psi$, the non-divergent two-body interaction +increases the probability of finding electrons at short distances in $\Psi^\mu$, +while the effective one-body potential $\hat{\bar{V}}_{\text{Hxc}}^{\text{sr},\mu}[n_{\Psi^{\mu}}]$, +providing that it is exact, maintains the exact one-body density. +This is clearly what has been observed in +Fig.~\ref{fig:densities}. +Regarding now the transcorrelated Hamiltonian $e^{-J}He^J$, as pointed out by Ten-no,\cite{Tenno_2000} +the effective two-body interaction induced by the presence of a Jastrow factor +can be non-divergent when a proper two-body Jastrow factor $J_\text{ee}$ is chosen, \ie, the Jastrow factor must fulfill the so-called electron-electron cusp conditions. \cite{Kato_1957,Pack_1966} +There is therefore a clear parallel between $\hat{W}_{\text{ee}}^{\text{lr},\mu}$ in RS-DFT and $J_\text{ee}$ in FN-DMC. +Moreover, the one-body Jastrow term $J_\text{eN}$ ensures that the one-body density remains unchanged when the CI coefficients are re-optmized in the presence of $J_\text{ee}$. +There is then a second clear parallel between $\hat{\bar{V}}_{\text{Hxc}}^{\text{sr},\mu}[n]$ in RS-DFT and $J_\text{eN}$ in FN-DMC. +Thus, one can understand the similarity between the eigenfunctions of $H^\mu$ and the optimization of the Slater-Jastrow wave function: +they both deal with an effective non-divergent interaction but still +produce a reasonable one-body density. + +%============================ +\subsection{Intermediate conclusions} +\label{sec:int_ccl} +%============================ + +As conclusions of the first part of this study, we can highlight the following observations: +\begin{itemize} +\item With respect to the nodes of a KS determinant or a FCI wave function, + one can obtain a multi-determinant trial wave function $\Psi^\mu$ with a smaller + fixed-node error by properly choosing an optimal value of $\mu$. +\item The optimal $\mu$ value is system- and basis-set-dependent, and it grows with basis set size. +\item Numerical experiments (overlap $\braket*{\Psi^\mu}{\Psi^J}$, + one-body density, on-top pair density, and FN-DMC energy) indicate + that the RS-DFT scheme essentially plays the role of a simple Jastrow factor + by mimicking short-range correlation effects. This latter + statement can be qualitatively understood by noticing that both RS-DFT + and the trans-correlated approach deal with an effective non-divergent + electron-electron interaction, while keeping the density constant. +\end{itemize} + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\section{Energy differences in FN-DMC: atomization energies} +\label{sec:atomization} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +Atomization energies are challenging for post-HF methods +because their calculation requires a subtle balance in the +description of atoms and molecules.

The first one is for the computation of +accurate total energies by a one-parameter optimization of the FN-DMC +energy via the variation of the parameter $\mu$. +The second method is for the computation of energy differences, where +the target is not the lowest possible FN-DMC energies but the best +possible cancellation of errors. Using a fixed value of $\mu$ +increases the (size-)consistency of the trial wave functions, and we have found +that $\mu=0.5$~bohr$^{-1}$ is the value where the cancellation of +errors is the most effective. +Moreover, such a small value of $\mu$ gives extremely +compact wave functions, making this recipe a good candidate for +the accurate description of the whole potential energy surfaces of +large systems. If the number of determinants is still too large, the +value of $\mu$ can be further reduced to $0.25$~bohr$^{-1}$ to get +extremely compact wave functions at the price of less efficient +cancellations of errors. + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\begin{acknowledgments} +A.B was supported by the U.S.~Department of Energy, Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences, Materials Sciences and Engineering Division, as part of the Computational Materials Sciences Program and Center for Predictive Simulation of Functional Materials. +This work was performed using HPC resources from GENCI-TGCC (Grand +Challenge 2019-gch0418) and from CALMIP (Toulouse) under allocation +2020-18005. +Funding from \textit{``Projet International de Coop\'eration Scientifique''} (PICS08310) and from the \textit{``Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique''} is acknowledged. +This study has been (partially) supported through the EUR grant NanoX No.~ANR-17-EURE-0009 in the framework of the \textit{``Programme des Investissements d'Avenir''}. +\end{acknowledgments} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\section*{Data availability} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +The data that support the findings of this study are openly available in Zenodo at \url{http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3996568}. + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\appendix +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +%============================ +\section{Size consistency} +\label{app:size} +%============================ + +An extremely important feature required to get accurate +atomization energies is size-consistency (or strict separability), +since the numbers of correlated electron pairs in the molecule and its isolated atoms +are different. + +KS-DFT energies are size-consistent, and because xc functionals are +directly constructed in complete basis, their convergence with respect +to the size of the basis set is relatively fast. \cite{FraMusLupTou-JCP-15,Giner_2018,Loos_2019d,Giner_2020} +Hence, DFT methods are very well adapted to +the calculation of atomization energies, especially with small basis +sets. \cite{Giner_2018,Loos_2019d,Giner_2020} +However, in the CBS, KS-DFT atomization energies do not match the exact values due to the approximate nature of the xc functionals. + +Likewise, FCI is also size-consistent, but the convergence of +the FCI energies towards the CBS limit is much slower because of the +description of short-range electron correlation using atom-centered +functions. \cite{Kutzelnigg_1985,Kutzelnigg_1991,Hattig_2012} +Eventually though, the exact atomization energies will be reached. + +In the context of SCI calculations, when the variational energy is +extrapolated to the FCI energy \cite{Holmes_2017} there is no +size-consistency error. But when the truncated SCI wave function is used +as a reference for post-HF methods such as SCI+PT2 +or for QMC calculations, there is a residual size-consistency error +originating from the truncation of the wave function. + +QMC energies can be made size-consistent by extrapolating the +FN-DMC energy to estimate the energy obtained with the FCI as a trial +wave function.\cite{Scemama_2018,Scemama_2018b} Alternatively, the +size-consistency error can be reduced by choosing the number of +selected determinants such that the sum of the PT2 corrections on the +fragments is equal to the PT2 correction of the molecule, enforcing that +the variational potential energy surface (PES) is +parallel to the perturbatively corrected PES, which is a relatively +accurate estimate of the FCI PES.\cite{Giner_2015} + +Another source of size-consistency error in QMC calculations originates +from the Jastrow factor. Usually, the Jastrow factor contains +one-electron, two-electron and one-nucleus-two-electron terms. +The problematic part is the two-electron term, whose simplest form can +be expressed as in Eq.~\eqref{eq:jast-ee}. +The parameter +$a$ is determined by the electron-electron cusp condition, \cite{Kato_1957,Pack_1966} and $b$ is obtained by energy +or variance minimization.\cite{Coldwell_1977,Umrigar_2005} +One can easily see that this parameterization of the two-body +interaction is not size-consistent: the dissociation of a +diatomic molecule \ce{AB} with a parameter $b_{\ce{AB}}$ +will lead to two different two-body Jastrow factors, each +with its own optimal value $b_{\ce{A}}$ and $b_{\ce{B}}$. To remove the +size-consistency error on a PES using this ans\"atz for $J_\text{ee}$, +one needs to impose that the parameters of $J_\text{ee}$ are fixed, \ie, +$b_{\ce{A}} = b_{\ce{B}} = b_{\ce{AB}}$. + +When pseudopotentials are used in a QMC calculation, it is of common +practice to localize the non-local part of the pseudopotential on the +complete trial wave function $\Phi$. +If the wave function is not size-consistent, +so will be the locality approximation. Within the DLA,\cite{Zen_2019} the Jastrow factor is +removed from the wave function on which the pseudopotential is localized. +The great advantage of this approximation is that the FN-DMC energy +only depends on the parameters of the determinantal component. Using a +non-size-consistent Jastrow factor, or a non-optimal Jastrow factor will +not introduce an additional error in FN-DMC calculations, although it +will reduce the statistical errors by reducing the variance of the +local energy. Moreover, the integrals involved in the pseudopotential +are computed analytically and the computational cost of the +pseudopotential is dramatically reduced (for more details, see +Ref.~\onlinecite{Scemama_2015}). + +In this section, we make a numerical verification that the produced +wave functions are size-consistent for a given range-separation +parameter. +We have computed the FN-DMC energy of the dissociated fluorine dimer, where +the two atoms are separated by 50~\AA. We expect that the energy +of this system is equal to twice the energy of the fluorine atom. +The data in Table~\ref{tab:size-cons} shows that this is indeed the +case, so we can conclude that the proposed scheme provides +size-consistent FN-DMC energies for all values of $\mu$ (within +twice the statistical error bars). + +%%% TABLE III %%% +\begin{table} + \caption{FN-DMC energy (in \hartree{}) using the VDZ-BFD basis set and the srPBE functional + of the fluorine atom and the dissociated \ce{F2} molecule for various $\mu$ values. + The size-consistency error is also reported.} + \label{tab:size-cons} + \begin{ruledtabular} + \begin{tabular}{cccc} + $\mu$ & \ce{F} & Dissociated \ce{F2} & Size-consistency error \\ + \hline + 0.00 & $-24.188\,7(3)$ & $-48.377\,7(3)$ & $-0.000\,3(4)$ \\ + 0.25 & $-24.188\,7(3)$ & $-48.377\,2(4)$ & $+0.000\,2(5)$ \\ + 0.50 & $-24.188\,8(1)$ & $-48.376\,9(4)$ & $+0.000\,7(4)$ \\ + 1.00 & $-24.189\,7(1)$ & $-48.380\,2(4)$ & $-0.000\,8(4)$ \\ + 2.00 & $-24.194\,1(3)$ & $-48.388\,4(4)$ & $-0.000\,2(5)$ \\ + 5.00 & $-24.194\,7(4)$ & $-48.388\,5(7)$ & $+0.000\,9(8)$ \\ + $\infty$ & $-24.193\,5(2)$ & $-48.386\,9(4)$ & $+0.000\,1(5)$ \\ + \end{tabular} + \end{ruledtabular} +\end{table} +%%% %%% %%% %%% + +%============================ +\section{Spin invariance} +\label{app:spin} +%============================ + +Closed-shell molecules often dissociate into open-shell +fragments. To get reliable atomization energies, it is important to +have a theory which is of comparable quality for open- and +closed-shell systems. A good check is to make sure that all the components +of a spin multiplet are degenerate, as expected from exact solutions. + +FCI wave functions have this property and yield degenerate energies with +respect to the spin quantum number $m_s$. +However, multiplying the determinantal part of the trial wave function by a +Jastrow factor introduces spin contamination if the Jastrow parameters +for the same-spin electron pairs are different from those +for the opposite-spin pairs.\cite{Tenno_2004} +Again, when pseudopotentials are employed, this tiny error is transferred +to the FN-DMC energy unless the DLA is enforced. + +The context is rather different within KS-DFT. +Indeed, mainstream density functionals have distinct functional forms to take +into account correlation effects of same-spin and opposite-spin electron pairs. +Therefore, KS determinants corresponding to different values of $m_s$ lead to different total energies. +Consequently, in the context of RS-DFT, the determinant expansion is impacted by this spurious effect, as opposed to FCI. + +In this Appendix, we investigate the impact of the spin contamination on the FN-DMC energy +originating from the short-range density functional. We have +computed the energies of the carbon atom in its triplet state +with the VDZ-BFD basis set and the srPBE functional. +The calculations are performed for $m_s=1$ (3 spin-up +and 1 spin-down electrons) and for $m_s=0$ (2 spin-up and 2 +spin-down electrons). + +The results are reported in Table~\ref{tab:spin}. +Although the energy obtained with $m_s=0$ is higher than the one obtained with $m_s=1$, the +bias is relatively small, \ie, more than one order of magnitude smaller +than the energy gained by reducing the fixed-node error going from the single +determinant to the FCI trial wave function. The largest spin-invariance error, close to +$2$ m\hartree{}, is obtained for $\mu=0$, but this bias decreases quickly +below $1$ m\hartree{} when $\mu$ increases. As expected, with $\mu=\infty$ +we observe a perfect spin-invariance of the energy (within the error bars), and the bias is not +noticeable for $\mu=5$~bohr$^{-1}$. + +Hence, at the FN-DMC level, the error due to +the spin invariance with RS-DFT-CIPSI trial wave functions is below the +chemical accuracy threshold, and is not expected to be problematic for the +comparison of atomization energies. + +%%% TABLE IV %%% +\begin{table} + \caption{FN-DMC energy (in \hartree{}) for various $\mu$ values of the triplet carbon atom with + different values of $m_s$ computed with the VDZ-BFD basis set and the srPBE functional. + The spin-invariance error is also reported.} + \label{tab:spin} + \begin{ruledtabular} + \begin{tabular}{cccc} + $\mu$ & $m_s=1$ & $m_s=0$ & Spin-invariance error \\ + \hline + 0.00 & $-5.416\,8(1)$ & $-5.414\,9(1)$ & $+0.001\,9(2)$ \\ + 0.25 & $-5.417\,2(1)$ & $-5.416\,5(1)$ & $+0.000\,7(1)$ \\ + 0.50 & $-5.422\,3(1)$ & $-5.421\,4(1)$ & $+0.000\,9(2)$ \\ + 1.00 & $-5.429\,7(1)$ & $-5.429\,2(1)$ & $+0.000\,5(2)$ \\ + 2.00 & $-5.432\,1(1)$ & $-5.431\,4(1)$ & $+0.000\,7(2)$ \\ + 5.00 & $-5.431\,7(1)$ & $-5.431\,4(1)$ & $+0.000\,3(2)$ \\ + $\infty$ & $-5.431\,6(1)$ & $-5.431\,3(1)$ & $+0.000\,3(2)$ \\ + \end{tabular} + \end{ruledtabular} +\end{table} +%%% %%% %%% %%% + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\bibliography{rsdft-cipsi-qmc} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +\end{document} +
