|

It is assumed that the non-variational mixed estimator is used for the
|
||||
FN-DMC energy. How adequate is the discussion on the error using a
|
||||
lower energy in this case? Please elaborate this in detail.
|
||||
|
||||
\alert{\textbf{Response:}
|
||||
The non-variational mixed estimator is not used for the FN-DMC energy
|
||||
in this work.
|
||||
We have used the variant of Assaraf, Caffarel and
|
||||
Khelif\cite{Assaraf_2000} (ref 112 in the paper) of the Stochastic
|
||||
Reconfiguration (SR) algorithm developped by Hetherington and
|
||||
Sorella.\cite{Sorella_Hetherington_1984,1998,Sorella_2000}
|
||||
It is smart algorithm mixing pure diffusion Monte Carlo (PDMC) and DMC
|
||||
and taking the best of those 2 methods~: the DMC algorithm is stable
|
||||
at the cost of the introduction of a finite population bias, and the
|
||||
PDMC algorithm is stabilized by introducing a finite projecting time.
|
||||
The SR algorithm has 2 limits: with a single walker it falls back to
|
||||
PDMC, and with an infinite population the DMC is recovered. The mixing
|
||||
of the 2 methods does not introduce the population control bias of
|
||||
DMC, and requires a much shorter projecting time than PDMC. In
|
||||
practice, it is quite easy to reach a regime where the number of
|
||||
walkers and the projecting time are such that the simulation is
|
||||
stable, the bias due to the finite projecting time is negligible and
|
||||
the fluctuations introduced by the projection are small.

\textbf{\large Reviewer \#2}
|

|
||||
|
||||
The only criticism I have is about the examples reported. Despite the
|
||||
importance of the G1 test set, for which the atomization energies have
|
||||
been computed, I would like to see an example where the ground state
|
||||
has a true multi-reference character. Indeed, as the authors pointed out,
|
||||
the G1 set is only weakly correlated, and RS-DFT-CIPSI does not show its
|
||||
best performances, and does not pay off. Indeed, in the G1 set, basis-set
|
||||
effects on the nodal surface quality seem to be more important than the
|
||||
effect of dealing with a multi-reference wave function.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\alert{\textbf{Response:}
|
||||
We totally agree with the reviewer, CIPSI trial wave functions can
|
||||
handle very well multi-configurational effects. In cases such as
|
||||
the G1 set, although the total FN-DMC energies are extremely low the
|
||||
energy differences are difficult to control, especially for large
|
||||
systems. This was a limit of the use of CIPSI wave functions for
|
||||
QMC. Here, we have shown that this gap can be filled with the proposed
|
||||
method. We believe that using RS-DFT-CIPSI in the context of strongly
|
||||
correlated systems is indeed an interesting topic, but it goes a bit
|
||||
beyond the scope of the present manuscript. Of course, we intend to
|
||||
study RS-DFT-CIPSI trial wave functions on strongly correlated systems
|
||||
in a near future.
