Abstract

Using a recently developed Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method, we compute the lowlying energy spectrum and wavefunctions as well as thermodynamical observables in (2+1)-dimensional quantum mechanics, and give an estimate of the statistical errors. Our numerical results are in good agreement with the exact ones.

In Lagrangian formulation, it is extremely difficult to compute the excited spectrum and wavefunctions of a quantum theory via Monte Carlo methods. Recently, we developed a Monte Carlo Hamiltonian method for investigating this hard problem and tested the algorithm in quantum-mechanical systems in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. In this paper we apply it to the study of the low-energy quantum physics of the (3+1)-dimensional harmonic oscillator.

We further study the validity of the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian method. The advantage of the method, in comparison with the standard Monte Carlo Lagrangian approach, is its capability to study the excited states. We consider two quantum mechanical models: a symmetric one ; and an asymmetric one , for and , for . The results for the spectrum, wave functions and thermodynamical observables are in agreement with the analytical or Runge–Kutta calculations.

The Use of the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian

H. Kröger, Xiaoyu Luo, Kevin J. M. Moriarty

In order to solve quantum field theory in a non-perturbative way, Lagrangian lattice simulations have been very successful. Here we discuss a recently proposed alternative Hamiltonian lattice formulation - the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian. In order to show its working in the case of the scalar $Φ^{4}_{1+1}$ model, we have computed thermodynamic functions like free energy, average energy, entropy and specific heat. We find good agreement between the results from the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian and standard Lagrangian lattice computations. However, the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian results show less fluctuations under variation of temperature. We address properties of the MC Hamiltonian, like a finite temperature window, and scaling properties. Also we discuss possible future applications - like quantum chaos in many-body systems, the non-perturbative computation of wave functions of elementary particles, as well as scattering amplitudes in high energy physics.In order to solve quantum field theory in a non-perturbative way, Lagrangian lattice simulations have been very successful.
