Abstract

This paper introduces three quantum Monte Carlo methods which are being explored for application to improved treatment of electron correlation in solids. These include the variational, diffusion, and auxiliary-field methods. The fundamental theory of each approach is reviewed, and recent progress in each is discussed.
