We have all made decisions, whether in our personal or professional lives, based on imperfect information. How can we manage that risk and improve business outcomes? One answer is a statistical method ...

Monte Carlo methods have become a cornerstone in nuclear systems analysis, particularly for sensitivity studies, which determine how variations in nuclear data can affect key reactor parameters. These ...

There are two flavors of QMC, (a) variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and (b) projector Monte Carlo (PMC). VMC starts by proposing a functional form for the wavefunction and then optimizes the parameters of ...

With highly specialized instruments, we can see materials on the nanoscale – but we can’t see what many of them do. That limits researchers’ ability to develop new therapeutics and new technologies ...
