| Abstract | This is our second lecture in a series on Quantum Monte Carlo methods. We describe the Diffusion Monte Carlo approach here, in which the approximation to the solution is not restricted by choice of a functional form for the wavefunction. The DMC approach is explained, and the fixed node approximation is described as well. We conclude with a few examples demonstrating the application of VMC and DMC to methane and ethane. |
