A Hybrid Method for Global Updates in Monte Carlo Study

T. Munehisa, Y. Munehisa

Published Jan 1, 1995• 1 citation

Abstract

We propose a new algorithm which works effectively in global updates in Monte Carlo study. We apply it to the quantum spin chain with next-nearest-neighbor interactions. We observe that Monte Carlo results are in excellent agreement with numerically exact ones obtained by the transfer matrix method.

We propose a new algorithm which works effectively in global updates in Monte Carlo study. We apply it to the quantum spin chain with next-nearest-neighbor interactions. We observe that Monte Carlo results are in excellent agreement with numerically exact ones obtained by the transfer matrix method. 1 The Monte Carlo method has been an indispensable tool for theoretial study in physics. An essential point of the method is to generate configurations according to their Boltzmann weights. For this purpose one usually starts with an initial configuration and obtains a new configuration sequantially by some rule that guarantees the ergodicity and satisfies the condition of the detailed balance. Widely used rules are the heat bath method and the Metropolis algorithm. The heat bath mehtod is useful for systems which have a small number of candidates for updating because one has to calculate weights for all candidates to determine which one should make the new configuration. The Metropolis algorithm is suitable for complicated systems since in this algorithm it is enough to know the weight just for one candidate

Re-Structuring Method for the Negative Sign Problem in Quantum Spin Systems

Tomo Munehisa, Yasuko Munehisa

We present detailed discussion on a new approach we proposed in a previous paper to numerically study quantum spin systems. This method, which we will call re-structuring method hereafter, is based on rearrangement of intermediate states in the path integral formulation. We observed our approach brings remarkable improvement in the negative sign problem when applied to one-dimensional quantum spin-1/2 system with next-nearest-neighbor interactions. In this paper we add some descriptions on our method and show results from analyses by the exact diagonalization and by the transfer matrix method of the system on a small chain. These results also indicate that our method works quite effectively.
