Abstract

We propose a new sampling method to calculate the ground state of interacting quantum systems. This method, which we call the adaptive sampling quantum monte carlo (ASQMC) method utilises information from the high temperature density matrix derived from the monte carlo steps. With the ASQMC method, the negative sign ratio is greatly reduced and it becomes zero in the limit Δτ\Delta \tau goes to zero even without imposing any constraint such like the constraint path (CP) condition. Comparisons with numerical results obtained by using other methods are made and we find the ASQMC method gives accurate results over wide regions of physical parameters values.
