Exercise Week 4: QMC

Introduction to quantum Monte Carlo methods

This week, we will use Monte Carlo techniques to solve the electronic Schrödinger equation. For this, we will use Jupyter notebooks, which are hosted on GitHub. You could either clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/dgolze/m19_notebooks

Alternatively, you could also use the Binder link provided on the repo’s README.md.

4.1. Variational Monte Carlo simulation

For this exercise, we will improve the example VMC calculation introduced on the lecture number 5. The relative path to the Jupyter notebook is exercises/metropolis_vmc.ipynb. You will find the rest of the instructions on the notebook. This exercise weights 5 points.
