Application of quantum Monte Carlo methods to electronic systems
This thesis is concerned with the development and application of <i>quantum Monte Carlo </i>(QMC) methods for calculating the energies of atoms, molecules and solids from first principles. Several modifications to the variational and diffusion Monte Carlo (VMC and DMC) methods are invest...
