Introduction to QMC

Quantum Monte Carlo is a set of techniques used in chemistry and physics to solve the Schrodinger equation (which describes the interactions between electrons and nuclei to make atoms and molecules).
The "Monte Carlo" part refers to the use of stochastic (random number) solution methods.
