Abstract
Accurate auxiliary field quantum Monte-Carlo (AFQMC) simulations of interacting electrons in quantum dots are reported. Two different formulations of this approach are presented both of which have been designed specifically for application to quantum dots. A deflation technique for calculation of anti-symmetrized traces is introduced. The auxiliary field is sampled with a hybrid algorithm and the artificial dynamics needed for use with the present formulation of AFQMC is described. The constrained path approximation is used to control the sign problem. Results for the ground state energy of two spin-polarised, interacting electrons are presented and are found to agree well with exact diagonalization results for a wide range of screening lengths. The sign problem does not appear in the regime of small screening length.
