Electronic structure of dimers at finite temperature with density matrix quantum Monte Carlo

ORAL

Abstract

We show our recent efforts to benchmark molecular dimers using density matrix quantum Monte Carlo which calculates the exact-on-average electronic density matrix. Molecular systems are chosen for their affordability and we will comment on how our findings relate to solids and warm dense matter.
