We study one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) Helium atoms using a new time-dependent quantum Monte Carlo (TDQMC) method. The TDQMC method employs random walkers, with a separate guiding wave attached to each walker. The ground state is calculated by a self-consistent solution of complex-time Schroedinger equations for the guiding waves and of equations for the velocity fields of the walkers. Our results show that the many-body wavefunction and the ground state energy of the model atoms are very close to those predicted by the standard diffusion quantum Monte Carlo method. The obtained ground state can further be used to examine correlated time-dependent processes which include, for example, interaction of atoms and molecules with external electromagnetic fields.
