Abstract

Quantum Monte Carlo is a highly accurate method to approximately solve the Schrodinger equation. I explain quantum Monte Carlo in a way that should be accessible to someone who is somewhat familiar with quantum mechanics. The discussion is mostly conceptual.

Biography Lucas Wagner is a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Nanosciences group at UC Berkeley, under the supervision of Dr. Jeffrey Grossman. One of his PhD projects was the development of a general purpose quantum Monte Carlo program available under the GPL at www.qwalk.org.

    Nice and concise. The harmonic oscillator example was helpful.
    But, pretty abstract though.

    This is an extremely helpful lecture for introducing QMC! Very nice, clear, presentation. The corresponding QWalk tool is also a great way to learn the method.
