We discuss the sign problem arising in Monte Carlo simulations of frustrated quantum spin systems. We show that for a class of ``semi-frustrated'' systems (Heisenberg models with ferromagnetic couplings $J_z(r) < 0$ along the $z$-axis and…

Simulating quantum many-body systems is a highly demanding task since the required resources grow exponentially with the dimension of the system. In the case of fermionic systems, this is even harder since nonlocal interactions emerge due…

Projection of the Coulomb potential onto flat bands paves the way to design various interactions in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels. Here we pose the question if we can use this mapping to overcome the negative sign problem…

We propose new approach to numerical study of quantum spin systems. Our method is based on a fact that one can use any set of states for the path integral as long as it is complete. We apply our method to one-dimensional quantum spin system…
