A paramount goal in the field of nuclear physics is to unify ab-initio treatments of bound and unbound states. The position-space quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods have a long history of successful bound state calculations in light systems…
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…
Microscopic calculations of neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections are critical for the success of the neutrino-oscillation program. In addition to retaining nuclear correlations in the initial and final state of the reaction, they are…

Variational Monte Carlo and Green's function Monte Carlo are powerful tools for calculations of properties of light nuclei using realistic two-nucleon and three-nucleon potentials. Recently the GFMC method has been extended to multiple…
The Short-Time approximation is a method introduced to evaluate electroweak nuclear response for systems with $A\geq12$, extending the reach of first-principle many-body Quantum Monte Carlo calculations. Using realistic two- and three-body…
A Monte Carlo method is presented to evaluate quantum states with many particles moving in the continuum. The scattering state is generated at each time by a Monte Carlo random sampling algorithm. The same calculation are repeated until the…

Ab initio quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) is a state-of-the-art numerical approach for evaluating accurate expectation values of many-body wavefunctions. However, one of the major drawbacks that still hinders widespread QMC applications is the…
