Implementation of the Linear Method for the optimization of Jastrow-Feenberg and Backflow Correlations

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a fully detailed and highly performing implementation of the Linear Method [J. Toulouse and C. J. Umrigar (2007)] to optimize Jastrow-Feenberg and Backflow Correlations in many-body wave-functions, which are widely used in condensed matter physics. We show that it is possible to implement such optimization scheme performing analytical derivatives of the wave-function with respect to the variational parameters achieving the best possible complexity O(N^3) in the number of particles N.
