Encyclopedia
CASINO is a quantum Monte Carlo
program developed in the Theory of Condensed Matter group
at the Cavendish Laboratory
in Cambridge
. CASINO can be used to perform variational quantum Monte Carlo and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations for both periodic and non-periodic systems.
Quantum Monte Carlo
Quantum Monte Carlo is a large class of computer algorithms that simulate quantum systems with the idea of solving the quantum many-body problem. They use, in one way or another, the Monte Carlo method to handle the many-dimensional integrals that arise...
