H₂ Dimer Test

(Reference: tests/CI_test/VMC-H2)

This is the simplest test case, suitable for a quick sanity check.

System

  • Molecule: H₂
  • Bond length: 1.4 a.u.
  • Basis: cc-pVDZ (or similar simple basis)

Workflow

  1. VMC: Run a short VMC calculation.
  2. Check Energy: The total energy should be approximately -1.17 a.u. (depending on the quality of the trial wavefunction).

Input Example

load molecule
   2
   H  1.0  0.0  0.0  0.0
   H  1.0  0.0  0.0  1.4
