This web site contains the QMC tutorial of the 2021 LTTC winter school

We propose different exercises to understand quantum Monte Carlo (QMC)
methods. In the first section, we propose to compute the energy of a
methods. In the first section, we start with the computation of the energy of a
hydrogen atom using numerical integration. The goal of this section is
to introduce the /local energy/.
Then we introduce the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method which
to familarize yourself with the concept of /local energy/.
Then, we introduce the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method which
computes a statistical estimate of the expectation value of the energy
associated with a given wave function.
Finally, we introduce the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method which
gives the exact energy of the hydrogen atom and of the H_2 molecule.
associated with a given wave function, and apply this approach to the
hydrogen atom.
Finally, we present the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method which
we use here to estimate the exact energy of the hydrogen atom and of the H_2 molecule.
Code examples will be given in Python and Fortran. You can use
whatever language you prefer to write the program.
