Description for Quantum Monte Carlo Methods: Algorithms for Lattice Models
Hardcover. .
Featuring detailed explanations of the major algorithms used in quantum Monte Carlo simulations, this is the first textbook of its kind to provide a pedagogical overview of the field and its applications. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the Monte Carlo method, its use, and its foundations, and examines algorithms for the simulation of quantum many-body lattice problems at finite and zero temperature. These algorithms include continuous-time loop and cluster algorithms for quantum spins, determinant methods for simulating fermions, power methods for computing ground and excited states, and the variational Monte Carlo method. Also discussed are continuous-time algorithms for ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Monte Carlo Methods: Algorithms for Lattice Models
'There's a lot in here but it is explained clearly with many outline algorithms and exercises ... I'm sure it will become a standard reference in this area for some time because of the range of ... techniques it describes and the care that has gone in to explaining them as clearly as possible given the technical nature of the ...
