Genetic algorithm for the pair distribution function of the electron gas

The pair distribution function of the electron gas is calculated using a parameterized generalization of quantum hypernetted chain approximation with the parameters being obtained by optimizing the system energy with a genetic algorithm. The functions so obtained are compared with Monte Carlo simulations performed by other authors in its variational and diffusion versions showing a very good agreement especially with the diffusion Monte Carlo results.

From Darwin to Sommerfeld: Genetic algorithms and the electron gas

In return for the long-standing contributions of Physics to Biology, now the inverse way is frequently traveled through in order to think about many physics phenomena. In this vein, evolutionary algorithms, particularly genetic algorithms, are being more and more used as a tool to deal with several Physics problems. Here, we show how to apply a genetic algorithm to describe the homogeneous electron gas.
