Abstract
A numerical algorithm based on the probabilistic path integral approach for solving Schrödinger equation has been devised to treat molecular systems without Born–Oppenheimer approximation in the nonrelativistic limit at zero temperature as an alternative to conventional variational and perturbation methods. Using high-quality variational trial functions and path integral method based on generalized Feynman–Kac method, we have been able to calculate the non-Born–Oppenheimer energy for hydrogen molecule for the [Formula: see text] state and hydrogen molecular ion. Combining these values and the value for ionization potential for atomic hydrogen, the dissociation energy and ionization potential for hydrogen molecules have been determined to be 36 113.672(3)[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] and 124 446.066(10)[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text], respectively. Our results favorably compare with other theoretical and experimental results and thus show the promise of being a nonperturbative alternative for testing fundamental physical theories.
