Monte Carlo methods and Markov Chain algorithms have long been central to computational science, forming the backbone of numerical simulation in a variety of disciplines. These techniques employ ...

There are two flavors of QMC, (a) variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and (b) projector Monte Carlo (PMC). VMC starts by proposing a functional form for the wavefunction and then optimizes the parameters of ...

IonQ and Fidelity Center for Applied Technology Announce Development of Scalable Quantum State Preparation for Monte Carlo Algorithms The proposed technique is expected to enable quantum sampling ...

With highly specialized instruments, we can see materials on the nanoscale – but we can’t see what many of them do. That limits researchers’ ability to develop new therapeutics and new technologies ...
