PhD Advisor: Dr. Sandeep Sharma Title: Toward Scalable Ab Initio Molecular Simulation with Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo Abstract: Accurately predicting the behavior of molecules from first principles requires methods that can capture electron correlation without becoming prohibitively expensive. Auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) is a highly accurate many-body method with favorable scaling, but its use in large-scale molecular simulations remains limited by computational prefacto
