New stochastic method for systems with broken time-reversal symmetry: 2D fermions in a magnetic field

G Ortiz, DM Ceperley, RM Martin - Physical review letters, 1993 - APS
We present a stochastic method able to deal with complex Hermitian Hamiltonians where
time reversal invariance is broken explicitly. We fix the phase of the wave function and show …
