Properties of fermionic systems with the Path-integral ground state method [PDF]
SciPost Phys. Core 6, 031 (2023), 2022 We investigate strongly correlated many-body systems composed of bosons and fermions with a fully quantum treatment using the path-integral ground state method, PIGS. To account for the Fermi-Dirac statistics, we implement the fixed-node approximation into PIGS, which we then call FN-PIGS. In great detail, we discuss the pair density matrices we use to
