Further Topics on Underlying Theory
摘要
In the following chapters, we will address more advanced content. This chapter focuses on the theoretical foundations of ab initio QMC, covering material that may be somewhat advanced for beginners. We will build on the concepts introduced thus far and summarize an overview that serves as a bridge to discussions found in more specialized literature. Topics that are not central to the theory but are practically advanced, such as correction schemes or the use of large-scale supercomputers, will be summarized in Chap. 9 . In addition, more advanced topics that aim to provide an understanding of the advantages and positioning of ab initio QMC from the broader perspective of many-body electronic structure theory will be presented in Chap. 10 .
