Reducing the time-step errors in diffusion Monte Carlo

Tyler A. Anderson, Manolo C. Per, C. J. Umrigar

We modify the reweighting factor of the projector used in diffusion Monte Carlo to reduce the time-step error of the total energy. Further, we present a reweighting scheme that has…

Delocalised oxygen as the origin of two-level defects in Josephson junctions

Timothy C. DuBois, Manolo C. Per, Salvy P. Russo +1

One of the key problems facing superconducting qubits and other Josephson junction devices is the decohering effects of bi-stable material defects. Although a variety of phenomenol…
