We present an exact Monte Carlo algorithm designed to sample theories where the energy is a sum of many couplings of decreasing strength. The algorithm avoids the computation of almost all non-leading terms. Its use is illustrated by…

We investigate the performance of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm, the standard algorithm used for lattice QCD simulations involving fermions, in updating non-trivial global topological structures. We find that the hybrid Monte Carlo…

The canonical partition function approach was designed to avoid the overlap problem that affects the lattice simulations of nuclear matter at high density. The method employs the projections of the quark determinant on a fix quark number…

We simulate lattice QCD at finite quark-number chemical potential to study nuclear matter, using the complex Langevin equation (CLE). The CLE is used because the fermion determinant is complex so that standard methods relying on importance…

Some algorithms for the numerically exact treatment of fermion determinants are summarised. This is not supposed to be a review, rather a concise handbook. The audience is expected to have a basic understanding of how to put fermions on a…

We study efficiency of higher order integrator schemes for the hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm. Numerical tests are performed for Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) with two flavors of Wilson fermions. We compare 2nd, 4th and 6th order…

QCD at non-zero chemical potential ($\mu$) for quark number has a complex fermion determinant and thus standard simulation methods for lattice QCD cannot be applied. We therefore simulate this theory using the Complex-Langevin algorithm…

We introduce methodologies for highly scalable quantum Monte Carlo simulations of electron-phonon models, and report benchmark results for the Holstein model on the square lattice. The determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) method is a…

We present a new quantum Monte Carlo algorithm suitable for generically complex problems, such as systems coupled to external magnetic fields or anyons in two spatial dimensions. We find that the choice of gauge plays a nontrivial role, and…

We argue that lattice simulations of full QCD with varying quark mass are best conducted at fixed lattice spacing rather than at fixed $\beta$. We present techniques which enable this to be carried out effectively, namely the tuning in bare…

The Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm currently is the favorite scheme to simulate quantum chromodynamics including dynamical fermions. In this talk-which is intended for a non-expert audience--I want to bring together methodical and…

Estimating the density of a continuous random variable X has been studied extensively in statistics, in the setting where n independent observations of X are given a priori and one wishes to estimate the density from that. Popular methods…

Simulations in finite density, beta=0 lattice QCD by means of the Monomer-Dimer-Polymer algorithm show a signal of first order transition at finite temporal size. This behaviour agrees with predictions of the mean field approximation, but…

We report on coding and performance of our polynomial hybrid Monte Carlo program on the Earth Simulator. At present the entire program achieves 25--40% efficiency. An analysis of overheads shows that a tuning of inter-node communications is…

We rely on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to interpret searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and elsewhere. These simulations result in noisy and approximate estimators of selection efficiencies and likelihoods. In this…

The Hamiltonian formulation of Lattice QCD with staggered fermions in the strong coupling limit has no sign problem at non-zero baryon density and allows for Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We have extended this formalism to two flavors,…

We introduce a Monte Carlo method, as a modification of existing cluster algorithms, which allows simulations directly on systems of infinite size, and for quantum models also at beta=infinity. All two-point functions can be obtained,…

We show how the prescription of taking the absolute value of the fermion determinant in the integration measure of QCD at finite density, forgetting its phase, reproduces the correct thermodynamical limit. This prescription, which applies…

Monte Carlo simulations of finite density systems are often plagued by the complex action problem. We point out that there exists certain non-commutativity in the zero chemical potential limit and the thermodynamic limit when one tries to…

We present an exact version of the local bosonic algorithm for the simulation of dynamical quarks in lattice QCD. This version is based on a non-hermitian polynomial approximation of the inverse of the quark matrix. A Metropolis test…
