Quantum Monte Carlo Methods in Physics and Chemistry: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute, Ithaca, New York, 12-24 July 1998

This book contains lectures on the basic theory and applications of quantum Monte Carlo methods, with contributions written by authorities in the field. Although tutorial in nature, it includes current developments. Both continuum systems and lattice models are covered. The applications include atomic, molecular, and solid state physics, statistical and low-temperature physics, and nuclear structure. Suitable for Ph.D. students and beyond.Nightingale, M.P. is the author of 'Quantum Monte Carlo Methods in Physics and Chemistry: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute, Ithaca, New York, 12-24 July 1998', published 1998 under ISBN 9780792355526 and ISBN 0792355520.
