Opis

The first textbook to provide a pedagogical examination of the major algorithms used in quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

Recenzje

'There's a lot in here but it is explained clearly with many outline algorithms and exercises … I'm sure it will become a standard reference in this area for some time because of the range of … techniques it describes and the care that has gone in to explaining them as clearly as possible given the technical nature of the subject.' Keith A. Benedict, Contemporary Physics
