Abstract
We present an exact and stable Green’s function Monte Carlo algorithm for few-fermion systems. Results are given for low-Z atoms. Possible improvements in constructing the importance functions are discussed. We also present a bilinear algorithm for sampling the product of two wavefunctions.
