Accuracy of quantum Monte Carlo methods for point defects in solids
Abstract Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) approaches such as the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method are among the most accurate many‐body methods for extended systems. Their scaling makes them well suited for defect calculations in solids. We review the various approximations needed for DMC calculations of solids and the results of …
