Matter 9, 7359 (1997) Dynamical mean-field theory is used to map the problem onto single-site Anderson impurity model is reduced to eigenvalue problem for trial functions % This matrix diagonalization takes % of the total calculation time. Gonzales facilitates us reduce calculation time deal with large compounds Gonzales facilitates us reduce calculation time substentially increase QMC statistics treat lower temperatures Solution of this impurity problem with Quantum Monte Carlo method (Hirsch-Fye method) takes > 95 % > 95 % of the total calculation time.
