摘要：

Using several simple systems as examples, we show that the choice of optimization functional can have a significant influence on the accuracy of variational Monte Carlo calculations. In addition, we demonstrate that the Monte Carlo analog of the Rayleigh-Ritz procedure, which explicitly orthogonalizes ground and excited states, can be used to produce accurate eigenvalue and variance estimates of excited states.
