As mentioned above, FCIQMC is an alternative approach of stochastic nature recently developed in Alavi's group, where signed walkers spawn from one determinant to connected ones, with a probability that is a function of the associated matrix element. e average proportion of walkers on a determinant converges to its coe cient in the FCI wave function. A more "brute force" approach is the purely stochastic selection of Monte Carlo CI (MCCI), where determinants are randomly added to the zeroth-order wave function. A er diagonalization, the determinants of smaller coe cient are removed, and new random determinants are added.
