The self-healing diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm (SHDMC) [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 79}, 195117 (2009), {\it ibid.} {\bf 80}, 125110 (2009)] is shown to be an accurate and robust method for calculating the ground state of atoms and molecules. By…
In this work, we discuss the dense matter equation of state (EOS) for the extreme range of conditions encountered in neutron stars and their mergers. The calculation of the properties of such an EOS involves modeling different degrees of…
Actinides are of great interest in astrophysics and technology applications since they can fission. However, the microscopic calculation of their statistical properties in the presence of correlations poses a major theoretical challenge.…
We discuss the pseudogap regime in the cold atomic unitary Fermi gas, with a particular emphasis on the auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFMC) approach. We discuss possible signatures of the pseudogap, review experimental results, and…
We implement the phaseless auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo method using the plane-wave based projector augmented wave method and explore the accuracy and the feasibility of applying our implementation to solids. We use a singular value…
We discuss the construction of a nuclear Energy Density Functional (EDF) from ab initio calculations, and we advocate the need of a methodical approach that is free from ad hoc assumptions. The equations of state (EoS) of symmetric nuclear…
We study the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter at subnuclear density in a Virial expansion for a nonideal gas. The gas consists of neutrons, protons, alpha particles, and 8980 species of nuclei with $A \ge 12$ and masses from the…
We present an \textit{ab initio} auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo method for studying the electronic structure of molecules, solids, and model Hamiltonians at finite temperature. The algorithm marries the \textit{ab initio} phaseless…
We report a new microscopic equation of state (EOS) of dense symmetric nuclear matter, pure neutron matter, and asymmetric and $\beta$-stable nuclear matter at zero temperature using recent realistic two-body and three-body nuclear…
We describe a new method to treat low-energy scattering problems in few-nucleon systems, and we apply it to the five-body case of neutron-alpha scattering. The method allows precise calculations of low-lying resonances and their widths. We…
We construct the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter at finite temperature and density with various proton fractions within the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory for the use in the supernova simulations. The Thomas-Fermi…
We discuss the relation between the effective vector meson mass and equation of state (EOS) for nuclear matter. In the mean field approximation, the EOS becomes softer due to the reduction of the effective omega-meson mass, if we assume…
Nuclear many-body systems, ranging from nuclei to neutron stars, are some of the most interesting physical phenomena in our universe, and Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) approaches are among the most accurate many-body methods currently available…
Over the last decade, ingenuous developments in Monte Carlo methods have enabled the unbiased estimation of adjoint-weighted reactor parameters expressed as bilinear forms, such as kinetics parameters and sensitivity coefficients. A…
An equation of state (EOS) for uniform nuclear matter is constructed at zero and finite temperatures with the variational method starting from the realistic nuclear Hamiltonian composed of the Argonne V18 and UIX potentials. The energy is…
The real-space variation quantum Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) are used to calculate the quasiparticle energy bands and the quasiparticle effective mass of the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic two-dimensional…
We review recent advances in the capabilities of the open source ab initio Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) package QMCPACK and the workflow tool Nexus used for greater efficiency and reproducibility. The auxiliary field QMC (AFQMC) implementation…
Ab initio methods using weakly interacting nucleons give a good description of condensed nuclear matter up to densities comparable to the nuclear saturation density. At higher densities palpable strong interactions between overlapping…
We study several aspects of the recently introduced fixed-phase spin-orbit diffusion Monte Carlo (FPSODMC) method, in particular, its relation to the fixed-node method and its potential use as a general approach for electronic structure…
The Equation of State (EOS) for asymmetric nuclear matter is discussed starting from a phenomenological hadronic field theory of Serot-Walecka type including exchange terms. In a model with self interactions of the scalar sigma-meson we…
