Quantum dot studies with path integral Monte Carlo

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the properties of semiconductor quantum dots by applying a quantum Monte Carlo technique. In the quantum mechanical regime such systems exhibit a range of fascinating and potentially useful phenomena. It is found that path integral Monte Carlo is generall...
