An improved transition matrix for variational Monte Carlo calculations is proposed. This matrix allows the use of larger time steps than the usual Langevin-based transition matrix and provides efficient sampling of electron positions in both the core and valence regions.

Abstract

An improved transition matrix for variational Monte Carlo calculations is proposed. This matrix allows the use of larger time steps than the usual Langevin-based transition matrix and provides efficient sampling of electron positions in both the core and valence regions. Its efficiency and accuracy in predictions of energies for hydrogen-like systems and for the neon atom are demonstrated.
