Investigating quantum Monte Carlo methods in Slater determinant bases

In this thesis we investigate the recently developed Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) method. This method, unlike the traditional methods in Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), doesn't require the use of the uncontrolled fixed node approximation and so potentially it can yield...
