Full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) is a stochastic approach for finding the ground state of a quantum many-body Hamiltonian. It is based on the dynamical evolution of a walker population in Hilbert space, which…
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) is a stochastic method which has been particularly successful for ground-state electronic structure calculations but mostly unexplored for the computation of excited-state energies. Here, we show that, within a…
In quantum information theory, there is an explicit mapping between general unitary dynamics and Hermitian ground state eigenvalue problems known as the Feynman-Kitaev Clock. A prominent family of methods for the study of quantum ground…
Unbiased stochastic sampling of the one- and two-body reduced density matrices is achieved in full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo with the introduction of a second, "replica" ensemble of walkers, whose population evolves in…
We here apply the recently developed initiator density matrix quantum Monte Carlo (i-DMQMC) to a wide range of chemical environments using atoms and molecules in vacuum. i-DMQMC samples the exact density matrix of a Hamiltonian at finite…
In recent years, the combination of precise quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods with realistic nuclear interactions and consistent electroweak currents, in particular those constructed within effective field theories (EFTs), has lead to new…
The accurate computation of forces and other energy derivatives has been a long-standing challenge for quantum Monte Carlo methods. A number of technical obstacles contribute to this challenge. We discuss how these obstacles can be removed…
