چکیده
This paper deals with the optimization of trial states for the computation of dominant eigenvalues of operators and very large matrices. In addition to preliminary results for the energy spectrum of van der Waals clusters, we review results of the application of this method to the computation of relaxation times of independent relaxation modes at the Ising critical point in two dimensions.

Between Classical and Quantum Monte Carlo Methods: “Variational” QMC
The variational Monte Carlo method is reviewed here. It is in essence a classical statistical mechanics approach, yet allows the calculation of quantum expectation values. We give an introductory exposition of the theoretical basis of the approach, including sampling methods and acceleration techniques; its connection with trial wavefunctions; and how in practice it is used to obtain high quali...
متن کاملComputational study of Anticancer Dasatinib for drug delivery systems
Dasatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia and in the management of ulcerative colitis (UC) and to provide appropriate results in treatment. Dasatinib is significantly higher and faster than full cytogenetic and large molecular responses as compared to imatinib. In the recent study, using the NMR data, the frequency and thermochemical propertie...

متن کاملEfficient Monte Carlo Simulation Methods in Statistical Physics
The basic problem in equilibrium statistical mechanics is to compute phase space average, in which Monte Carlo method plays a very important role. We begin with a review of nonlocal algorithms for Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation in statistical physics. We discuss their advantages, applications, and some challenge problems which are still awaiting for better solutions. We discuss some of the...
متن کاملThe Feynman Path Goes Monte Carlo
Path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations have become an important tool for the investigation of the statistical mechanics of quantum systems. I discuss some of the history of applying the Monte Carlo method to non-relativistic quantum systems in path-integral representation. The principle feasibility of the method was well established by the early eighties, a number of algorithmic improveme...
