In this thesis we present algorithmic progresses as well as applications of continuum quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods for electronic structure calculations by first principles. The improvements we propose allow to tackle much larger molecular as well as extended systems by QMC, with the ultimate goal of making QMC a valid alternative to density functional theory (DFT). All results have been obtained with the TurboRVB software, which we contributed to develop. At first, we present a QMC framework based on the Jastrow-Geminal wavefunction which combines great flexibility with a compact analytical form, while providing at the same time an accurate treatment of electron correlations. We apply an original atomic embedding scheme for reducing t...
