Random Walk Beyond Hartree-Fock
  We give a brief discussion of the recently developed Constrained-Path Monte Carlo Method. This method is a quantum Monte Carlo technique that eliminates the fermion sign problem plaguing simulations of systems of interacting electrons. The elimination is accomplished by trading an exact procedure for an approximate one that has been demonstrated to give very accurate estimates of energies and many-body correlation functions. We also give a short review of its applications, a discussion of several strategies for parallelizing it, and some speculation of its future extensions.
