Algorithm for Computing Excited States in Quantum Theory

Xiaoyu Luo, H. Jirari, H. Kröger, K. Moriarty

Published Jan 1, 2001• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

Abstract. Monte Carlo techniques have been widely employed in statistical physics as well as in quantum theory in the Lagrangian formulation. However, in the conventional approach, it is extremely difficult to compute the excited states. Here we present a different algorithm: the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian method, designed to overcome the difficulties of the conventional approach. As a new example, application to the Klein-Gordon field theory is shown.

Monte Carlo Hamiltonian: Generalization to Quantum Field Theory

Xiang-Qian Luo, Jirari, H, Kröger, H +1 more

Monte Carlo techniques with importance sampling have been extensively applied to lattice gauge theory in the Lagrangian formulation. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to compute the excited states using the conventional Monte Carlo algorithm. Our recently developed approach: the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian method, has been designed to overcome the difficulties of the conventional approach. In this paper, we extend the method to many body systems and quantum field theory. The Klein-Gordon field theory is used as a testing ground. 1

New Approach to Monte Carlo Hamiltonian and Test

Huang Chun, Pq G

Monte Carlo Hamiltonian method is a new algorithm for numerical simulation of quantum theories. The advantage is its ability to study spectrum and wave functions beyond the ground state. The previous approach needs information on free particles and is difficult to be used for lattice gauge theory. In this paper, we propose a new approach to MCH, which may overcome the difficulty. We describe the basic ideas, and use a 1-dimensional quantum mechanical model V(x) =μ2x2 + λx4(with μ2 0,λ 0) as an example.

Green Function Monte Carlo Method for Excited States of Quantum System

T. Cheon

A novel scheme to solve the quantum eigenvalue problem through the imaginary-time Green function Monte Carlo method is presented. This method is applicable to the excited states as well as to the ground state of a generic system. We demonstrate the validity of the method with the numerical examples on three simple systems including a discretized sine-Gordon model.

(3+1)-Dimensional Quantum Mechanics from Monte Carlo Hamiltonian: Harmonic Oscillator

Luo Xiangqian, Hao Xu, Yang Jie-Chao +4 more

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.
