DMC of porphyrin


An all electron calculation of a large molecule (large by QMC standards, anyway):
Quantum Monte Carlo for electronic excitations of free-base porphyrin by Alan Aspuru-Guzik, Ouafae El Akramine, Jeffrey Grossman, and William Lester. The porphyrin they used has the formula C20 N4 H14, so 168 electrons.
