    "abstract": "We review the use of the path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) methodology to the\nstudy of finite-size quantum clusters, with particular emphasis on recent\napplications to pure and impurity-doped He clusters. We describe the principles\nof PIMC, the use of the multilevel Metropolis method for sampling particle\npermutations, and the methods used to accurately incorporate anisotropic\nmolecule-helium interactions into the path integral scheme. Applications to\nspectroscopic studies of embedded atoms and molecules are summarized, with\ndiscussion of the new concepts of local and nanoscale superfluidity that have\nbeen generated by recent PIMC studies of the impurity-doped He clusters.",
