We offer a new proposal for the Monte Carlo treatment of many-fermion systems in continuous space. It is based upon diffusion Monte Carlo with significant modifications: correlated pairs of random walkers that carry opposite signs, different functions guide walkers of different signs, the Gaussians used for members of a pair are correlated, and walkers can cancel so as to conserve their expected future contributions. We report results for free-fermion systems and a fermion fluid with 14 He-3 atoms, where it proves stable and correct. Its computational complexity grows with particle number, but slowly enough to make interesting physics within the reach of contemporary computers.
