Quantum Monte Carlo Method for Attractive Coulomb Potentials

Computational Physics 2009-11-07 v1 Quantum Physics

Abstract

Starting from an exact lower bound on the imaginary-time propagator, we present a Path-Integral Quantum Monte Carlo method that can handle singular attractive potentials. We illustrate the basic ideas of this Quantum Monte Carlo algorithm by simulating the ground state of hydrogen and helium.
