Essential ingredients: Variational Monte Carlo methods, Metropolis Algorithm, statistics and Markov Chain theory

How to structure the VMC code

Teaching Material, videos and written material.

 - See the jupyter-notebook at https://github.com/CompPhysics/ComputationalPhysics2/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week2/ipynb/week2.ipynb

Code templates for first project (these will be discussed during the lab sessions)

The C++ template at https://github.com/mortele/variational-monte-carlo-fys4411
The python template, using JAX at https://github.com/Daniel-Haas-B/FYS4411-Template

The notes for this week are best viewed via the jupyter-notebook since there are code examples we will run.

Best wishes to you all,

Daniel, H?kon, Morten, and Ruben
