Equation of motion theory for excited states in variational Monte Carlo   and the Jastrow antisymmetric geminal power in Hilbert space
  An equation of motion formalism for excited states in variational Monte Carlo is derived and a pilot implementation for the Jastrow-modified antisymmetric geminal power is tested. In single excitations across a range of small molecules, this combination is shown to be intermediate in accuracy between configuration interaction singles and equation of motion coupled cluster with singles and doubles. For double excitations, energy errors are found to be similar to those for coupled cluster.
