Abstract
The accurate and efficient calculation from microscopic interactions of the macroscopic properties of bulk liquid 3He at zero temperature has been a perennial goal of condensed matter theorists. Seen as a proving ground for many-fermion theories and methods, 3He continues to occupy the attention of many of the participants in this Workshop.1 Significant progress has been realized over the past several years in refining interatomic potentials, wave functions, and calculational schema employed to attack the many-body problem.
