We present a history-dependent Monte Carlo scheme for the efficient calculation of the free-energy of quantum systems, inspired by the Wang-Landau sampling and metadynamics method. When embedded in a path integral formulation, it is of…
We propose a new Monte Carlo algorithm for the free energy calculation based on configuration space sampling. We implement this algorithm for Ising model. Comparison with the exact free energy shows an excellent agreement. We analyse the…
Efficient and accurate algorithm for partition function, free energy and thermal entropy calculations is of great significance in statistical physics and quantum many-body physics. Here we present an unbiased but low-technical-barrier…
Metropolis algorithm has been extensively employed for simulating a canonical ensemble and estimating macroscopic properties of a closed system at any desired temperature. A mechanical property, like energy can be calculated by averaging…
It has been shown that the Metropolis algorithm can be implemented on quantum computers in a way that avoids the sign problem. However, flat histogram techniques are often preferred as they don't suffer from the same limitations that…
We analyze the convergence properties of the Wang-Landau algorithm. This sampling method belongs to the general class of adaptive importance sampling strategies which use the free energy along a chosen reaction coordinate as a bias. Such…
We implement a Wang-Landau sampling technique in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) for the purpose of calculating the Renyi entanglement entropies and associated mutual information. The algorithm converges an estimate for an analogue to the density…
Wang and Landau proposed recently, a simple and flexible non-Boltzmann Monte Carlo method for estimating the density of states, from which the macroscopic properties of a closed system can be calculated. They demonstrated their algorithm by…
We consider a class of systems where $N$ identical particles with positions ${\bf q}_1,...,{\bf q}_N$ and momenta ${\bf p}_1,...,{\bf p}_N$ are enclosed in a box of size $L$, and exhibit the scaling $\mathcal{U}(L{\bf r}_1,...,L{\bf…
For a second-order phase transition the critical energy range of interest is larger than the energy range covered by a canonical Monte Carlo simulation at the critical temperature. Such an extended energy range can be covered by performing…
In finite-size scaling analyses of Monte Carlo simulations of second-order phase transitions one often needs an extended temperature range around the critical point. By combining the parallel tempering algorithm with cluster updates and an…
We propose a general method (based on the Wang-Landau algorithm) to compute numerically free energies that are obtained from the logarithm of the ratio of suitable partition functions. As an application, we determine with high accuracy the…
We introduce a generic, parallel Wang-Landau method that is naturally suited to implementation on massively parallel, petaflop supercomputers. The approach introduces a replica-exchange framework in which densities of states for overlapping…
We introduce a classical algorithm to approximate the free energy of local, translation-invariant, one-dimensional quantum systems in the thermodynamic limit of infinite chain size. While the ground state problem (i.e., the free energy at…
In this paper, we demonstrate the efficiency of simulations via direct computation of the partition function under various macroscopic conditions, such as different temperatures or volumes. The method can compute partition functions by…
A simple modification of the ``Wang-Landau sampling'' algorithm removes the systematic error that occurs at the boundary of the range of energy over which the random walk takes place in the original algorithm.
In this work we develop an implementation of the Wang--Landau algorithm [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{86}, 2050-2053 (2001)]. This algorithm allows us to find the density of states (DOS), a function that, for a given system, describes the…
The multiple range random walk algorithm recently proposed by Wang and Landau [Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2050 (2001)] is adapted to the computation of free energy profiles for molecular systems along reaction coordinates. More generally, we show…
This paper explores the use of quantum computing, specifically the use of HHL and VQLS algorithms, to solve optimal power flow problem in electrical grids. We investigate the effectiveness of these quantum algorithms in comparison to…
Using molecular simulation, we determine Ginzburg-Landau free energy functions for molecular fluids. To this aim, we extend the Expanded Wang-Landau method to calculate the partition functions, number distributions and Landau free energies…
