Monte Carlo Hamiltonian - From Statistical Physics to Quantum Theory
Monte Carlo techniques have been widely employed in statistical physics as well as in quantum theory in the Lagrangian formulation. However, in some areas of application to quantum theories computational progress has been slow. Here we present a recently developed approach: the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian method, designed to overcome the difficulties of the conventional approach.
متن کاملNonlocal Monte Carlo algorithms for statistical physics applications
After a brief general overview of Monte Carlo computer simulations in statistical physics, special emphasis is placed on applications to phase transitions and critical phenomena. Here, standard simulations employing local update algorithms are severely hampered by the problem of critical slowing down, that is by strong correlations between successively generated data. It is shown that this prob...

متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo techniques and applications for warm dense matter
The Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method is used to study physical problems which are analytically intractable due to many-body interactions and strong coupling strengths. This makes QMC a natural choice in the warm dense matter (WDM) regime where both the Coulomb coupling parameter Γ ≡ e/(rskBT ) and the electron degeneracy parameter Θ ≡ T/TF are close to unity. As a truly firstprinciples simulati...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo Simulations: Algorithms, Limitations and Applications
A survey is given of Quantum Monte Carlo methods currently used to simulate quantum lattice models. The formalisms employed to construct the simulation algorithms are sketched. The origin of fundamental (minus sign) problems which limit the applicability of the Quantum Monte Carlo approach is shown to be a generic feature of the formalisms used to devise the simulation algorithms. A brief overv...
