Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations for Minimum Energy Structures

We present an efficient method to find minimum energy structures using energy estimates from accurate quantum Monte Carlo calculations. This method involves a stochastic process formed from the stochastic energy estimates from Monte Carlo calculations that can be averaged to find precise structural...
