In this paper, I investigate more closely the recently proposed Free Energy Monte Carlo algorithm that is devised in particular for calculations where conventional Monte Carlo simulations struggle with ergodicity problems. The simplest…
We report a Monte Carlo simulation of the $2D$ Edwards-Anderson spin glass model within the recently introduced multicanonical ensemble. Replica on lattices of size $L^2$ up to $L=48$ are investigated. Once a true groundstate is found, we…
We present a novel Monte Carlo algorithm which enhances equilibrization of low-temperature simulations and allows sampling of configurations over a large range of energies. The method is based on a non-Boltzmann probability weight factor…
I propose a new algorithm, a free energy Monte Carlo algorithm, for calculations where conventional Monte Carlo simulations struggle with ergodicity problems. The simplest version of the proposed algorithm allows for the determination of…
In this paper, we introduce a dynamical Monte Carlo algorithm for spin models in which the number of the spins fluctuates from zero to a given number by addition and deletion of spins with a probabilistic rule. Such simulations are realized…
The basic problem in equilibrium statistical mechanics is to compute phase space average, in which Monte Carlo method plays a very important role. We begin with a review of nonlocal algorithms for Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation in…
Monte Carlo sampling of any system may be analyzed in terms of an associated glass model -- a variant of the Random Energy Model -- with, whenever there is a sign problem, complex fields. This model has three types of phases (liquid, frozen…
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 propose a new global optimization method ({\em Simulated Tempering}) for simulating effectively a system with a rough free energy landscape (i.e. many coexisting states) at finite non-zero temperature. This method is related to simulated…
We propose a new type of Monte Carlo approach in numerical studies of quantum systems. Introducing a probability function which determines whether a state in the vector space survives or not, we can evaluate expectation values of powers of…
Due to the intrinsic complexity of the quantum many-body problem, quantum Monte Carlo algorithms and their corresponding Monte Carlo configurations can be defined in various ways. Configurations corresponding to few Feynman diagrams often…
Boltzmann sampling based on Metropolis algorithm has been extensively used for simulating a canonical ensemble. An estimate of a mechanical property, like energy, of an equilibrium system, can be made by averaging over a large number…
Population Monte Carlo simulations in the form commonly referred to as population annealing can serve as a useful meta-algorithm for simulating systems with complex free-energy landscapes. In the present paper we provide an easily…
Monte Carlo simulations have boosted the numerical study of several different physical systems and in particular, the canonical ensemble has been especially useful because of the existence of easy and efficient relaxation algorithms…
With Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate short-time critical dynamics of the three-dimensional anti-ferromagnetic Ising model with a globally conserved magnetization $m_s$ (not the order parameter). From the power law behavior of the…
We propose a new strategy for Monte Carlo (MC) optimization on rugged multidimensional landscapes. The strategy is based on querying the statistical properties of the landscape in order to find the temperature at which the mean first…
The unconstrained ensemble describes completely open systems whose control parameters are chemical potential, pressure, and temperature. For macroscopic systems with short-range interactions, thermodynamics prevents the simultaneous use of…
Monte Carlo simulations are methods for simulating statistical systems. The aim is to generate a representative ensemble of configurations to access thermodynamical quantities without the need to solve the system analytically or to perform…
Conventional Monte Carlo simulations are stochastic in the sense that the acceptance of a trial move is decided by comparing a computed acceptance probability with a random number, uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. Here we consider the…
Metropolis Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool for studying the equilibrium properties of matter. In complex condensed-phase systems, however, it is difficult to design Monte Carlo moves with high acceptance probabilities that also…
