16. The only theoretical complication such a potential causes is that the paramagnetic contribution to H-|Ax [the term proportional to γ in Eq. (1)] cannot be ignored. The inclusion of such a contribution transforms H-|Ax into a complex Hermitian operator which can be solved by the fixed-phase approach introduced in G. Ortiz, D. M. Ceperley and R. M. Martin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 2777 (1993).
