Energy minimisation in variational quantum Monte Carlo
After reviewing previously published techniques, a new algorithm is presented for optimising variable parameters in explicitly correlated many-body trial wavefunctions for use in variational quantum Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations. The method optimises the para...
