I had the same question, so I looked it up. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Monte_Carlo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Monte_Carlo :
"Quantum Monte Carlo encompasses a large family of computational methods whose common aim is the study of complex quantum systems. One of the major goals of these approaches is to provide a reliable solution (or an accurate approximation) of the quantum many-body problem."
