Abstract

In this paper, a diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method to determine the ground state of a particle in a double well potential is presented. The DMC method uses displacements, creations and deletions of diffusers or walkers. The effects of double well parameters on the ground state are studied. For validation of our DMC method, a harmonic oscillator potential is used and the DMC method gives accurate results. In the double well potential, the DMC results has shown that the ground state energy increases as the depth of the double well increases.
