Abstract

We develop a highly efficient method to numerically simulate thermal fluctuations and correlations in non-relativistic continuous bosonic one-dimensional systems. We start by noticing the equivalence of their description through the transfer matrix formalism and a Fokker-Planck equation for a distribution evolving in space. The corresponding stochastic differential (It\={o}) equation is very suitable for computer simulations, allowing the calculation of arbitrary correlation functions. As an illustration, we apply our method to the case of two tunnel-coupled quasicondensates of bosonic atoms.
