A fast stochastic method for calculating the 2nd order Møller-Plesset (MP2) correction to the correlation energy of large systems of electrons is presented. The approach is based on reducing the exact summation over occupied and unoccupied states to a time-dependent trace formula amenable to stochastic sampling. We demonstrate the abilities of the method to treat systems of thousands electrons using hydrogen passivated silicon spherical nanocrystals represented on a real space grids, much beyond capabilities of present day MP2 implementations.
