A novel quantum Monte Carlo method for molecular systems

This thesis is concerned with the development of a new <i>ab initio </i>Monte Carlo method for the evaluation of exact, basis set correlation energies. A simple set of rules acting on signed walkers allow for the simulation of the underlying imaginary-time Schrödinger equation in a finit...
