Monte Carlo in Quantum Systems

- Introduction to QMC: expectation value of quantum operators and multidimensional integrals; "importance sampling" with the wavefunction

- Variational Monte Carlo: variational principle; trial wavefunctions; "local" operators

- Statistical fluctuations and dependence on variational parameters: reweighting technique

- Simulated annealing using Metropolis
