Abstract

We present the numerical Quantum Monte Carlo results for the ground state energy of circular quantum dots in which Rashba spin-orbit iteraction is present. Diffusion Monte Carlo with spin propagation is applied in order to treat the spin-orbit interaction correctly, following previous work done in the fieldof the two-dimensional electron gas. Together with ground state energies, also numerical results for density and spin-density profiles are given.
