By combining density-functional theory (DFT) and wave function 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.
|
||||
These compact trial wave functions are generated via the diagonalization of the RS-DFT Hamiltonian.
|
||||
In particular, we combine here short-range correlation functionals with selected configuration interaction (SCI).
|
||||
As the WFT method 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 SCI calculation.
|
||||
Having low energies does not mean that they are good for chemical properties.

\titou{T2: work in progress.}
|
||||
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 expansion than CIPSI.
|
||||
Indeed, as the CIPSI method 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.
|
||||
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 an effective cancellation of errors as well as compact trial wave functions, making the present method a good candidate for the accurate description of large systems.

Even at the srPBE/VTZ-BFD level, we observe a reduction by a factor two in the number of determinants between the optimal $\mu$ value and $\mu = \infty$.
