## Quantum Monte Carlo Compton profiles of solid and liquid lithium

Published in arXiv, 2019

We calculated the momentum distribution n(k) of BCC lithium using all-electron QMC in the grand-canonical ensemble. Kinetic sum rule from finite-size corrected n(k) agrees with thermodynamic limit to 0.1 mha/e. BFD solid - liquid difference agrees well with experiment, but the pseudopotential Compton profile is too narrow due to lack of orthogonalization with core states.

## Electronic band gaps from Quantum Monte Carlo methods

Published in arXiv, 2019

We prove the leading-order scaling of the fundamental gap based on the asymptotic behavior of changes in the electronic structure factor S(k) in the long wavelength limit (k=0). We further directly calculate finite-size correction to leading and sub-leading orders using only S(k) at one system size.

## How large are nonadiabatic effects in atomic and diatomic systems?

Published in The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2015

We simulated small (<10 e) atoms and molecules in their ground states, treating the electrons and ions on the same footing, i.e. without invoking the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
