VMC's gradient estimators are generically heavy-tailed (no 3/2 moment for Slater–Jastrow); PS-Clip-VMC, which clips energies and per-sample gradients, is provably convergent under weak moments and stabilizes FermiNet training.

Convergence holds for momentum μ less than 1 in SPRING under mild assumptions, but μ=1 risks divergence; PRIME-SR adapts momentum via spectral dimension and subspace overlap to match tuned performance with better robustness.

Is Variational Monte Carlo Robust? Sharp Moment Thresholds and Heavy-tailed Stochastic Optimization
VMC's gradient estimators are generically heavy-tailed (no 3/2 moment for Slater–Jastrow); PS-Clip-VMC, which clips energies and per-sample gradients, is provably convergent under weak moments and stabilizes FermiNet training.
