چکیده
We construct an effective Hamiltonian via Monte Carlo from a given action. This Hamiltonian describes physics in the low energy regime. We test it by computing spectrum, wave functions and thermodynamical observables (average energy and specific heat) for the free system and the harmonic oscillator. The method is shown to work also for other local potentials.

MATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with Explicit, Reversible, and Volume-preserving Adaptive Step Size Control
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo is a Markov chain Monte Carlo method that uses Hamiltonian dynamics to efficiently produce distant samples. It employs geometric numerical integration to simulate Hamiltonian dynamics, which is a key of its high performance. We present a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method with adaptive step size control to further enhance the efficiency. We propose a new explicit, reversible...
متن کاملSemi-Separable Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for Inference in Bayesian Hierarchical Models
Sampling from hierarchical Bayesian models is often difficult for MCMC methods, because of the strong correlations between the model parameters and the hyperparameters. Recent Riemannian manifold Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (RMHMC) methods have significant potential advantages in this setting, but are computationally expensive. We introduce a new RMHMC method, which we call semi-separable Hamiltoni...
متن کاملThermodynamical observables in a finite temperature window from the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian
The Monte Carlo (MC) Hamiltonian is a new stochastic method to solve manybody problems. The MC Hamiltonian represents an effective Hamiltonian in a finite energy window. We construct it from the classical action via Monte Carlo with importance sampling. The MC Hamiltonian yields the energy spectrum and corresponding wave functions in a low energy window. This allows to compute thermodynamical o...
متن کاملMagnetic Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) exploits Hamiltonian dynamics to construct efficient proposals for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). In this paper, we present a generalization of HMC which exploits non-canonical Hamiltonian dynamics. We refer to this algorithm as magnetic HMC, since in 3 dimensions a subset of the dynamics map onto the mechanics of a charged particle coupled to a magnetic field. W...
متن کاملMonte 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 کاملStochastic Gradient Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with Variance Reduction for Bayesian Inference
Gradient-based Monte Carlo sampling algorithms, like Langevin dynamics and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, are important methods for Bayesian inference. In large-scale settings, full-gradients are not affordable and thus stochastic gradients evaluated on mini-batches are used as a replacement. In order to reduce the high variance of noisy stochastic gradients, [Dubey et al., 2016] applied the standard...
