Quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for arbitrary spin-1/2 Hamiltonians

Lev Barash, Arman Babakhani, Itay Hen

We present a universal parameter-free quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) algorithm designed to simulate arbitrary spin- 1/2 Hamiltonians. To ensure the convergence of the Markov chain to equilibrium for every conceivable case, we devise a clear and simple automated protocol that produces QMC updates that are provably ergodic and satisfy detailed balance. We demonstrate the applicability and versatility of our method by considering several illustrative examples, including the simulation of the XY model on a triangular lattice, the toric code, and random k -local Hamiltonians.

Stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo for Rydberg arrays

Ejaaz Merali, Isaac J. S. De Vlugt, Roger G. Melko

Arrays of Rydberg atoms are a powerful platform to realize strongly-interacting quantum many-body systems. A common Rydberg Hamiltonian is free of the sign problem, meaning that its equilibrium properties are amenable to efficient simulation by quantum Monte Carlo (QMC). In this paper, we develop a Stochastic Series Expansion QMC algorithm for Rydberg atoms interacting on arbitrary lattices. We describe a cluster update that allows for the efficient sampling and calculation of physical observables for typical experimental parameters, and show that the algorithm can reproduce experimental results on large Rydberg arrays in one and two dimensions.

The use of spin-pure and non-orthogonal Hilbert spaces in Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte-Carlo

Simon D. Smart

Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte–Carlo (FCIQMC) al- lows for exact results to be obtained for the ground state of a system within a finite-basis approximation of the Schrödinger equation. Work- ing within imposed symmetry constraints permits dramatic reductions in the size and internal connectivity of the Hilbert space considered, with associated reductions in the computational cost involved, as well as permitting exclusion of the natural ground state to extract a se- ries of excited states of the system. As all converged solutions are ˆ eigenfunctions of the square of the total spin operator, S 2 , as well as the Hamiltonian and the projected spin, imposing spin-purity as an additional ‘symmetry’ is a natural extension. In this thesis, the use of various spin-pure spaces is compared to the previously used determinental spaces. Variations on the FCIQMC al- gorithm which work in non-orthogonal (and non-normalised) basis sets, and with the arbitrary discretisation of imaginary time removed, are considered along with the implications of the differences to the normal FCIQMC algorithm.
