Which consequence results when variational wave function parameters are insufficiently optimized?

💡 Explanation

Optimizing trial wave functions minimizes energy with the Rayleigh-Ritz variational principle; therefore, under-optimized function approximations yield energies exceeding the true ground state because the optimization seeks the lowest bound, rather than higher eigenvalues.
