Path integral Monte Carlo method for the quantum anharmonic oscillator

Shikhar Mittal, Marise J E Westbroek, Peter R King +1 more

Abstract The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is used to evaluate the imaginary-time path integral of a quantum oscillator with a potential that includes a quadratic term and a quartic term whose coupling is varied by several orders of magnitude. This path integral is discretized on a time lattice on which calculations for the energy and probability density of the ground state and energies of the first few excited states are carried out on lattices with decreasing spacing to estimate these quantities in the continuum limit. The variation of the quartic coupling constant produces corresponding variations in the optimum simulation parameters for the MCMC method and in the statistical uncertainty for a fixed number of paths used for measurement. The energies and probability densities are in excellent agreement with those obtained from numerical solutions of Schrödinger’s equation. The theoretical and computational framework presented here introduces undergraduates to the path integral formulations of quantum mechanics in real time and the partition function in statistical mechanics in imaginary time. The example of the anharmonic oscillator helps to build an intuition about the MCMC method of evaluating the partition function, which can then be used to solve other problems in physics and beyond.

Development of accurate anharmonic vibrational state theory using a novel vibrational coordinate based on backflow transformation

Kiriko Ishii, M Tashikawa, Yukiumi Kita

Synopsis The anharmonic vibrational state theory based on quantum Monte Carlo method is one of the most accurate methods to solve a vibrational Schrödinger equation of molecular systems. In anharmonic vibrational state analyses, one should take account of the inter-mode couplings, which cannot be included by the conventional normal mode coordinates only. In this study, thus, we have developed a novel vibrational coordinate based on backflow transformation which enable us to take correlation effects in quantum many-body systems directly.
