Optimization of the Jastrow function by paired-phonon analysis

Abstract

We demonstrate numerically for (i) a ${}_{}{}^4{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ monolayer at areal density 0.035 ${\mathrm{\AA }}^{-2\mathrm{}}$, and (ii) neutron star matter at density 1 ${\mathrm{fm}}^{-3\mathrm{}}$, that optimizing the Jastrow function by means of paired-phonon analysis is both accurate and efficient.
