Loop Algorithms for Asymmetric Hamiltonians

Abstract

Generalized rules for building and flipping clusters in the quantum Monte Carlo loop algorithm are presented for the XXZ-model in a uniform magnetic field along the Z-axis. As is demonstrated for the Heisenberg antiferromagnet it is possible from these rules to select a new algorithm which performs significantly better than the standard loop algorithm in strong magnetic fields at low temperatures.
