A study is presented of the electronic band structure and optical absorption spectrum of monolayer WSe$_2$ using an all-electron quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ approach, QS$G\hat W$, in which the screened Coulomb interaction $\hat W$ is…

A diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm is introduced that can determine the correct nodal structure of the wave function of a few-fermion system and its ground-state energy without an uncontrolled bias. This is achieved by confining signed…

A method to calculate the one-body Green's function for ground states of correlated electron materials is formulated by extending the variational Monte Carlo method. We benchmark against the exact diagonalization (ED) for the one- and…

We report diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations of the quasiparticle and excitonic gaps of hydrogen-terminated oligoynes and polyyne. The electronic gaps are found to be very sensitive to the atomic structure in these systems. We…

A self-contained and tutorial presentation of the diffusion Monte Carlo method for determining the ground state energy and wave function of quantum systems is provided. First, the theoretical basis of the method is derived and then a…

We present a variational MonteCarlo (VMC) and lattice regularized diffusion MonteCarlo (LRDMC) study of the binding energy and dispersion curve of the water dimer. As a variation ansatz we use the JAGP wave function, an implementation of…

We review the fabrication and transport characterization of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)/Bernal bilayer graphene (BLG) moir\'e superlattices. Due to the moir\'e effect, the hBN/BLG moir\'e superlattices exhibit an energy gap at the charge…

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a critical material for 2D electronic devices for graphene and has attracted a considerable amount of attention owing to its structural similarity and semiconducting property. However, modifying its…

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayer has recently emerged as an important two-dimensional semiconductor with promising potentials for electronic and optoelectronic devices. Unlike semi-metallic graphene, layered TMDC has a…

Equilibrium interlayer exciton condensation is common in bilayer quantum Hall systems and is characterized by spontaneous phase coherence between isolated layers. It has been predicted that similar physics can occur in the absence of a…

Spontaneous orbital magnetism observed in twisted bilayer graphene (tBG) on nearly aligned hexagonal boron nitride (BN) substrate builds on top of the electronic structure resulting from combined G/G and G/BN double moire interfaces. Here…

GW approximation is one of the most popular parameter-free many-body methods that goes beyond the limitations of the standard density functional theory (DFT) to determine the excitation spectra for moderately correlated materials and in…

The fixed node diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method has attracted interest in recent years as a way to calculate properties of solid materials with high accuracy. However, the framework for the calculation of properties such as total…

Making and using polaritonic states (i.e., hybrid electron-photon states) for chemical applications have recently become one of the most prominent and active fields that connects the communities of chemistry and quantum optics. Modeling of…

We compute and track the impact of truly nonlocal-correlation effects on the quasi-particle (QP) band-structure of hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) systems. To that end, we start with the consistent-exchange vdW-DF-cx version [PRB 89, 035412…

Two state-of-the-art computational approaches: quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), based on accurate total energies, and GW with exciton effects (GW-BSE), based on perturbation theory are employed to calculate ionization potentials, electron…

Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has recently become the focus of intense research as a material to host quantum emitters. Although it is well known that such emission is associated with point defects, so far no conclusive…

We present an analysis of the polymorphic energy ordering and properties of the rock salt and zincblende structures of manganese oxide using fixed node diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC). Manganese oxide is a correlated, antiferromagnetic material…

We report a systematic study of the weak chemical bond between two benzene molecules. We first show that it is possible to obtain a very good description of the C_2 dimer and the benzene molecule, by using pseudopotentials for the…
