\section{Introduction}

leads to the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation with an approximate Hamiltonian

The FCI wave function can be interpreted as the exact solution of the
true Hamiltonian obtained with the additional constraint that it
can only span the space provided by the basis. At the complete
basis set (CBS) limit, the constraint vanishes and the exact solution
is obtained.
The full configuration interaction (FCI) method within a finite atomic
basis set leads to an approximate solution of the Schrödinger
equation.
This solution is the eigenpair of an approximate Hamiltonian, which is
the projection of the exact Hamiltonian onto the finite basis of all
possible Slater determinants.
The FCI wave function can be interpreted as the constrained solution of the
true Hamiltonian, where the solution is forced to span the space
provided by the basis.
At the complete basis set (CBS) limit, the constraint vanishes and the
exact solution is obtained.
Hence the FCI method enables a systematic improvement of the

The Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method is a numerical scheme to obtain
the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation with an additional
constraint, imposing the solution to have the same nodal hypersurface
as a given trial wave function. This approximation, known as the
\emph{fixed-node} approximation, \eg{is variational with respect to the nodes of the trial wave function: the DMC energy obtained with a given trial wave function is an upper bound to the exact energy, and the latter is recovered only }

The DMC method is attractive because its scaling is polynomial with

Within this so-called \emph{fixed-node} approximation,
the DMC energy associated with a given trial wave function is an upper
bound to the exact energy, and the latter is recovered only when the
nodes of the trial wave function coincide with the nodes of the exact
wave function.
The polynomial scaling with the number of electrons and with the size
of the trial wave function makes the DMC method attractive.
In addition, the total energies obtained are usually far below
those obtained with the FCI method in computationally tractable basis
sets because the constraints imposed by the fixed-node approximation
are less severe than the constraints imposed by the finite-basis
approximation.

The qualitative picture of the electronic structure of weakly
correlated systems, such as organic molecules near their equilibrium
geometry, is usually well represented with a single Slater
determinant.
DMC with a single-determinant trial wave function can be used as a
single-reference post-Hatree-Fock method, with an accuracy comparable
to coupled cluster.\cite{Dubecky_2014,Grossman_2002}
The favorable scaling of QMC and its adequation with massively
parallel architectures makes it an attractive alternative for large
parallel architectures makes it a favourable alternative for large
systems.
The Slater determinant is determined by the nature of the molecular
orbitals. Three main options are commonly used: Hartree-Fock (HF),
Kohn-Sham (KS) or natural orbitals (NO) of a correlated wave function.
The nodal surfaces obtained with the KS determinant are in general
better than those obtained with the HF determinant,\cite{Per_2012} and
of comparable quality to those obtained with a Slater determinant
built with NOs.\cite{Wang_2019}

This technique has the advantage that using FCI nodes in a given basis
set is well defined and has a unique solution. The optimization of the
wave function is deterministic, so the calculations are reproducible
and don't require the expertise of a QMC expert. However,
this technique can't be applied to large systems because of the
exponential scaling of the size of the wave function. Extrapolation
techniques have been applied to estimate the DMC energy of a FCI
wave function in a large basis set,\cite{Scemama_2018} and other

black-box way without needing any expertise in QMC.
