QMCPACK is capable of the simultaneous measurement of the Hamiltonian and many other quantum operators. The Hamiltonian attains a special status among the available operators (also referred to as observables) because it ultimately generates all available information regarding the quantum system. This is evident from an algorithmic standpoint as well since the Hamiltonian (embodied in the projector) generates the imaginary time dynamics of the walkers in DMC and reptation Monte Carlo (RMC).

This section covers how the Hamiltonian can be specified, component by component, by the user in the XML format native to \qmcpack. It also covers the input structure of statistical estimators corresponding to quantum observables such as the density, static structure factor, and forces.
