It is well known that traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods can fail to effectively explore the state space for multimodal problems. Parallel tempering is a well-established population ...

There are two flavors of QMC, (a) variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and (b) projector Monte Carlo (PMC). VMC starts by proposing a functional form for the wavefunction and then optimizes the parameters of ...
