Even as the members of the ACRL Committee on Standards were finishing their work at the ALA Midwinter meeting in January 1960, they realized that completed standards are only a beginning, that the most difficult task sti...

Petascale computing opens new vistas for quantum Monte Carlo

For many kinds of problem the accuracy of quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) is much better than that of density functional theory (DFT), and its scaling with number of atoms is much more favourable than that of high-level quantum chemistry. However, the widespread use of QMC has been hindered by the fact that it is considerably more expensive than DFT. We show here that QMC is very well placed to explo...
