Comments on the quantum Monte Carlo method and the density matrix theory (original) (raw)

Abstract

Density matrix theory is implemented in a variational quantum Monte Carlo computation of electronic properties of atoms and molecules. Differences between electronic densities from conventional and density matrix methods are detected. However, calculated properties present similar behavior and partial antisymmetry can be ignored in the cases studied.
