Global Optimization: Quantum Thermal Annealing with Path Integral Monte Carlo
We investigate a new method (QTA-PIMC) for global optimization on complex potential energy surfaces which combines the path integral Monte Carlo method with quantum and thermal annealing. This method is applied to the BLN protein model (Honeycutt, J. D.; Thirumalai, D. Biopolymers 1992, 32, 695). We show that this new approach outperforms simulated (thermal) annealing (SA) and that in fact SA i...
متن کاملPath integral Monte Carlo study of quantum-hard sphere solids.
A path integral study of the fcc, hcp, and bcc quantum hard-sphere solids is presented. Ranges of densities within the interval of reduced de Broglie wavelengths 0.2≤λB(*)≤0.8 have been analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations with Cao-Berne propagator. Energies, pressures, and structural quantities (pair radial correlation functions, centroid structure factors, and Steinhardt order parameters) h...
متن کاملPath-integral Monte Carlo simulation of helium at negative pressures
Path-integral Monte Carlo simulations of liquid helium at negative pressure have been carried out for a temperature range from the critical temperature to below the superfluid transition. We have calculated the temperature dependence of the spinodal line as well as the pressure dependence of the isothermal sound velocity in the region of the spinodal. We discuss the slope of the superfluid tran...
متن کاملTorsional path integral Monte Carlo method for the quantum simulation of large molecules
A molecular application is introduced for calculating quantum statistical mechanical expectation values of large molecules at nonzero temperatures. The Torsional Path Integral Monte Carlo ~TPIMC! technique applies an uncoupled winding number formalism to the torsional degrees of freedom in molecular systems. The internal energy of the molecules ethane, n-butane, n-octane, and enkephalin are cal...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo Simulation
Contemporary scientific studies often rely on the understanding of complex quantum systems via computer simulation. This paper initiates the statistical study of quantum simulation and proposes a Monte Carlo method for estimating analytically intractable quantities. We derive the bias and variance for the proposed Monte Carlo quantum simulation estimator and establish the asymptotic theory for ...
