Finding a ground state of a given Hamiltonian is an important but hard problem. One of the potential methods is to use a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to sample the Gibbs distribution whose highest peaks correspond to the ground states.…
We show that any short-range Hamiltonian with a gap between the ground and excited states can be written as a sum of local operators, such that the ground state is an approximate eigenvector of each operator separately. We then show that…

Stochastic electrodynamics is a classical theory which assumes that the physical vacuum consists of classical stochastic fields with average energy $\frac{1}{2}\hbar \omega$ in each mode, i.e., the zero-point Planck spectrum. While this…
