Overview
Quantum Monte Carlo is a large class of computer algorithms that simulate quantum systems to solve many body systems in order to investigate the electronic structure of many-body systems. This book presents a numeric approach to determine the electronic structure of atoms, molecules and solids.

Author Information
Wolfgang Schattke is a retired member of the Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik der Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel where his teaching covered the branch of theoretical physics from the basic courses to advanced topics of the PhD curriculum. His research interests focus on material properties of the solid state and its surfaces investigated with ab-initio electronic structure methods. Besides studying numerical access to photoemission spectroscopy, his scientific efforts point to many-body theory where Quantum Monte-Carlo offers a central tool to complete the successful application of Density Functional Theory to material sciences. Ricardo Díez Muino is Vice Director of the Centro de Física de Materiales, a Joint Center between the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU and the Spanish Research Council CSIC in San Sebastian. Previously, he developed his research activity in the Donostia International Physics Center DIPC (Spain), the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (USA), and the Université de Bordeaux (France). His main field of research is condensed matter theory, particularly electronic excitations in metallic systems, with some excursions into atomic and molecular physics.
