Dynamic correlations with time-dependent quantum Monte Carlo.
In this paper, we solve quantum many-body problem by propagating ensembles of trajectories and guiding waves in physical space. We introduce the "effective potential" correction within the recently proposed time-dependent quantum Monte Carlo methodology to incorporate the nonlocal quantum correlation effects between the electrons. The associated correlation length is calculated by adaptive kernel density estimation over the walker distribution. The general formalism is developed and tested on one-dimensional helium atom in laser field of different intensities and carrier frequencies. Good agreement with exact results for the atomic ionization is obtained.
