| Abstract: |
|---|
| Quantum Monte Carlo is the term applied to several numerical
>> methods using Monte Carlo techniques to obtain solutions to
>> Schrodinger's time-independent equation of quantum mechanics. The most
>> important of these methods, diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo, was
>> originally
>> suggested by Fermi and discussed by Ulam in the 1940's. In this
>> variation the Schrodinger equation is simulated as a modified diffusion
>> equation with a collection of particles undergoing random walks. With
>> the
>> aid of high-speed computers the method has been applied with remarkable
>> success to a variety of quantum mechanical problems in chemistry and
>> physics.
