路径积分蒙特卡罗模拟的外推高阶积分器

Extrapolated High-Order Propagators for Path Integral Monte Carlo Simulations

Robert E. Zillich, Johannes M. Mayrhofer, Siu A. Chin

摘要:

本文提出了一类新的高阶虚时间传播子,通过减去低阶传播子,用于路径积分蒙特卡罗模拟。通过要求外推传播子的所有项被均匀地采样,减法仅影响路径积分的潜在部分。在小时间步长下,所得路径积分的正性违反可以忽略不计,这对我们方法的准确性没有明显影响。因此,原则上可以设计任意高阶算法用于路径积分蒙特卡罗模拟。我们验证这一说法是通过显示,第四,第六和第八阶收敛确实可以实现在解决强相互作用的量子多体系统,如散装液体$^4$他的基态。

英文摘要:

We present a new class of high-order imaginary time propagators for path-integral Monte Carlo simulations by subtracting lower order propagators. By requiring all terms of the extrapolated propagator be sampled uniformly, the subtraction only affects the potential part of the path integral. The negligible violation of positivity of the resulting path integral at small time steps has no discernable affect on the accuracy of our method. Thus in principle arbitrarily high order algorithms can be devised for path-integral Monte Carlo simulations. We verify this claim is by showing that fourth, sixth, and eighth order convergence can indeed be achieved in solving for the ground state of strongly interacting quantum many-body systems such as bulk liquid $^4$He.
