  2. Hellmann–Feynman theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HellmannFeynman_theorem

    The HellmannFeynman theorem is actually a direct, and to some extent trivial, consequence of the variational principle (the Rayleigh–Ritz variational principle) from which the Schrödinger equation may be derived. This is why the HellmannFeynman theorem holds for wave-functions (such as the Hartree–Fock wave-function) that, though not ...

    The variational method of Ritz would found his use quantum mechanics with the development of HellmannFeynman theorem. The theorem was first discussed by Schrödinger in 1926, the first proof was given by Paul Güttinger in 1932, and later rediscovered independently by Wolfgang Pauli and Hans Hellmann in 1933, and by Feynman in 1939 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_hopping

    The last equation is derived using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. The brackets show that the integral is done only over the quantum degrees of freedom. Choosing only one adiabatic surface is an excellent approximation if the difference between the adiabatic surfaces is large for energetically accessible regions of . When this is not the case ...

    Richard Phillips Feynman (/ ˈ f aɪ n m ə n /; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist.He is best known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and in particle physics, for which he proposed the parton model.

    In this case, the HellmannFeynman theorem – which is used to avoid derivation of many-parameter wave function (expanded in a basis set) – is only valid for the complete basis set. [3] Otherwise, the terms in theorem's expression containing derivatives of the wavefunction persist, giving rise to additional forces – the Pulay forces: [4]
