Metropolis Methods for Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations
摘要
Since its first description fifty years ago, the Metropolis Monte Carlo method has been used in a variety of different ways for the simulation of continuum quantum many-body systems. This paper will consider some of the generalizations of the Metropolis algorithm employed in quantum Monte Carlo: Variational Monte Carlo, dynamical methods for projector monte carlo ({\it i.e.} diffusion Monte Carlo with rejection), multilevel sampling in path integral Monte Carlo, the sampling of permutations, cluster methods for lattice models, the penalty method for coupled electron-ionic systems and the Bayesian analysis of imaginary time correlation functions.
