Abstract

Many strongly correlated states, such as those arising in the fractional quantum Hall effect and spin liquids, are described by wave functions obtained by dividing particles into multiple clusters, constructing a readily evaluable wave function in each cluster, and (anti)symmetrizing across these clusters. We introduce a method to compute quantities such as energies and correlators, using Monte Carlo simulations for these states. Our framework overcomes the factorial scaling of explicit (anti)symmetrization, allowing for studies of systems beyond the reach of exact diagonalization.
