摘要

An approach for obtaining the ground state of Coulombic many-body systems is presented. This approach is based on the path-integral renormalization-group method with nonorthogonal Slater determinants, is free of the negative sign problem, and can handle higher dimensional systems with consideration of the correlation effect. Furthermore, it can be easily extended to the multicomponent quantum systems that contain more than two kinds of quantum particles. According to our results obtained with the present approach, it achieves the same accuracy as the variational Monte Carlo method with a few Slater determinants and enables us to study the entire ground state consisting of electrons and nuclei without the need to use the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
