This work evaluated the efficiency of the Diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method in determining potential energy curves (PECs) for diatomic systems. This evaluation was performed by determining rovibrational spectroscopic constants from PECs obtained for the HeH+ and LiH systems. The trial wave functions used are derived from the Hartree-Fock and MCSCF methods. The method used to calculate the spectroscopic constants was the Discrete Variable Representation (DVR) method. Thus, the PECs generated from the DMC produced the best results, being very close to the experimental results. Thus, the DMC method proved to be more efficient than the other methods used (MCSCF and CCSD(T)). The results obtained in this study indicate that the DMC-DVR methodology has a great potential to become a reference in the determination of spectroscopic properties.

We have calculated the energies of excited states for the He, Li, and Be atoms by the time dependent self-consistent Kohn Sham equation using the Coulomb Wave Function Discrete Variable Representation CWDVR) approach. The CWDVR approach was used the uniform and optimal spatial grid discretization to the solution of the Kohn-Sham equation for the excited states of atoms. Our results suggest that the CWDVR approach is an efficient and precise solutions of excited-state energies of atoms. We have shown that the calculated electronic energies of excited states for the He, Li, and Be atoms agree with the other researcher values.

The discrete variable representation (DVR) matrix dynamics formulation of the path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) method, implemented numerically in a way that enables Metropolis sampling to be employed, is proposed as a means of computing ground state quantum wavefunctions. A key advantage of the DVR-PIMC approach is that customized marginal potentials may be employed, leading to significantly larger PIMC time step sizes, and substantial reductions in computational (CPU) effort. An additional key advantage of the present implementation is that the DVR provides a natural set of interpolant functions that can be used for accurate interpolation and extrapolation of function and tensor quantities away from predefined grid points. The new method is applied here to compute the ground state wavefunction of a model one degree-of-freedom (1 DOF) Morse oscillator system. A one-to-two order-of-magnitude reduction in CPU effort is observed, in comparison with a conventional PIMC simulation. The generalization for many DOFs is straightforward, and expected to result in even greater performance enhancement.
