Flat histogram Monte Carlo method
We discuss a sampling algorithm which generates flat histogram in energy. In combination with transition matrix Monte Carlo, the density of states and derived quantities such as entropy and free energy as a function of temperature can be computed in a single simulation.
متن کاملMetropolis Methods for Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations
Since its first description fifty years ago, the Metropolis Monte Carlo method has been used in a variety of different ways for the simulation of continuum quantum many-body systems. This paper will consider some of the generalizations of the Metropolis algorithm employed in quantum Monte Carlo: Variational Monte Carlo, dynamical methods for projector monte carlo (i.e. diffusion Monte Carlo wit...
متن کاملHistogram analysis as a method for determining the line tension by Monte-Carlo simulations
A method is proposed for determining the line tension, which is the main physical characteristic of a three-phase contact region, by Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations. The key idea of the proposed method is that if a three-phase equilibrium involves a three-phase contact region, the probability distribution of states of a system as a function of two order parameters depends not only on the surface t...
متن کاملThe quantum Monte Carlo method
Quantum Monte Carlo is an important and complementary alternative to density functional theory when performing computational electronic structure calculations in which high accuracy is required. The method has many attractive features for probing the electronic structure of real atoms, molecules and solids. In particular, it is a genuine many-body theory with a natural and explicit description ...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo Simulations of Exciton Condensates
We have studied scattering states and thermodynamic properties of electron-hole systems. Starting from the constituent electrons and holes and Coulomb interactions, we have used quantum Monte Carlo simulation techniques to sample properties of wavefunctions and thermal density matrices. We have studied three types of systems: (1) the scattering of two excitons, with full-quantum treatment of th...
