随机哈密顿量的蒙特卡罗模拟

Monte Carlo simulation of stoquastic Hamiltonians

Sergey Bravyi

摘要:

随机哈密顿量的特征在于它们在标准乘积基中的非对角矩阵元素是实的和非正的。许多有趣的量子模型都属于这一类,包括横场伊辛模型(TIM)、二分图上的海森堡模型和玻色子哈伯德模型。在这里,我们考虑的问题估计的基态能量的局部随机哈密顿$H$的承诺,基态的$H$有一个不可忽略的相关性与一些“指导”状态,承认一个简洁的经典描述。一个正式的版本,这个问题被称为引导随机哈密顿是完整的复杂性类MA(NP的概率模拟)。为了证明这一结果,我们采用投影蒙特卡罗算法与一个变量的步行者。其次,我们证明了铁磁TIM的基态和热平衡性质可以在经典的概率计算机上在多项式时间内模拟。这个结果是基于Jerrrum和Sinclair(1993)的经典铁磁伊辛模型的近似算法。

英文摘要:

Stoquastic Hamiltonians are characterized by the property that their off-diagonal matrix elements in the standard product basis are real and non-positive. Many interesting quantum models fall into this class including the Transverse field Ising Model (TIM), the Heisenberg model on bipartite graphs, and the bosonic Hubbard model. Here we consider the problem of estimating the ground state energy of a local stoquastic Hamiltonian $H$ with a promise that the ground state of $H$ has a non-negligible correlation with some `guiding' state that admits a concise classical description. A formalized version of this problem called Guided Stoquastic Hamiltonian is shown to be complete for the complexity class MA (a probabilistic analogue of NP). To prove this result we employ the Projection Monte Carlo algorithm with a variable number of walkers. Secondly, we show that the ground state and thermal equilibrium properties of the ferromagnetic TIM can be simulated in polynomial time on a classical probabilistic computer. This result is based on the approximation algorithm for the classical ferromagnetic Ising model due to Jerrrum and Sinclair (1993).
