The code was initially launched by **Sandro Sorella** and **Michele Casula** in SISSA and has been continuously developed by many contributors for over 20 years. The code implements two types of well established QMC algorithms: Variational Monte Carlo (VMC), and Diffusion Monte Carlo in its robust and efficient lattice regularized variant (LRDMC). diff --git a/logo/turborvb_logo.png b/logo/turborvb_logo.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..58bedc2 Binary files /dev/null and b/logo/turborvb_logo.png differ
