Reptation Quantum Monte Carlo

S. Baroni, S. Moroni
Reptation Quantum Monte Carlo
We present an elementary and self-contained account of the analogies existing between classical diffusion and the imaginary-time evolution of quantum systems. These analogies are used to develop a new quantum simulation method which allows to calculate the ground-state expectation values...

Relieving the fermionic and the dynamical sign problem: Multilevel Blocking Monte Carlo

R. Egger, C.H. Mak
Relieving the fermionic and the dynamical sign problem: Multilevel Blocking Monte Carlo
This article gives an introduction to the multilevel blocking (MLB) approach to both the fermion and the dynamical sign problem in path-integral Monte Carlo simulations. MLB is able to substantially relieve the sign problem in many situations. Besides an exposition...

Contents: Introduction; Monte Carlo integration; Classical Monte Carlo simulations; The quantum Monte Carlo loop algorithm; Exact diagonalization....

Introduction to Quantum Monte Carlo Applied to the Electron Gas

D. M. Ceperley
Introduction to Quantum Monte Carlo Applied to the Electron Gas
In these lectures, I will briefly review some of the Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods that have been used to calculate properties of the electron gas and review properties that have been computed with these methods....

Quamtum Monte Carlo Simulation of solids

Foulkes, Mitas, Needs, Rajagopal
Quamtum Monte Carlo Simulation of solids
This article describes the variational and fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo methods and how they may be used to calculate the properties of many-electron systems....
