摘要

We provide a very simple adaptation of our recently published quantum Monte Carlo algorithm infull configuration-interaction (Slater determinant) spaces which dramatically reduces the number ofwalkers required to achieve convergence. A survival criterion is imposed for newly spawnedwalkers. We define a set of initiator determinants such that progeny of walkers spawned from suchdeterminants onto unoccupied determinants are able to survive, while the progeny of walkers not inthis set can survive only if they are spawned onto determinants which are already occupied. The setof initiators is originally defined to be all determinants constructable from a subset of orbitals, inanalogy with complete-active spaces. This set is dynamically updated so that if a noninitiatordeterminant reaches an occupation larger than a preset limit, it becomes an initiator. The newalgorithm allows sign-coherent sampling of the FCI space to be achieved with relatively fewwalkers. Using the N_2molecule as an illustration, we show that rather small initiator spaces andnumbers of walkers can converge with submilliHartree accuracy to the known fullconfiguration-interaction (FCI) energy (in the cc-pVDZ basis), in both the equilibrium geometry andthe multiconfigurational stretched case. We use the same method to compute the energy withcc-pVTZ and cc-pVQZ basis sets, the latter having an FCI space of over 10~(15)with very modestcomputational resources.
