A random-walk simulation of the Schrödinger equation: H+3

Anderson, James B.·1975·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

A simple random-walk method for obtaining ab initio solutions of the Schrödinger equation is examined in its application to the case of the molecular ion H+3 in the equilateral triangle configuration with side length R=1.66 bohr. The method, which is based on the similarity of the Schrödinger equation and the diffusion equation, involves the random movement of imaginary particles (psips) in electron configuration space subject to a variable chance of multiplication or disappearance. The computation requirements for high accuracy in determining energies of H+3 are greater than those of existing LCAO–MO–SCF–CI methods. For more complex molecular systems the method may be competitive.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
