Real-time dynamics from imaginary-time quantum Monte Carlo simulations: Tests on oscillator chains

Journal Article Bonca, J ; Gubernatis, J E - Physical Review. E, Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics

We used methods of Bayesian statistical inference and the principle of maximum entropy to analytically continue imaginary-time Green{close_quote}s functions generated in quantum Monte Carlo simulations to obtain the real-time Green{close_quote}s functions. For test problems, we considered chains of harmonic and anharmonic oscillators whose properties we simulated by a hybrid path-integral quantum Monte Carlo method. From the imaginary-time displacement-displacement Green{close_quote}s function, we first obtained its spectral density. For harmonic oscillators, we demonstrated the peaks of this function were in the correct position and their areas satisfied a sum rule. Additionally, as a function of wave number, the peak positions followed themore »« less

Monte Carlo techniques for real-time quantum dynamics

Journal Article Dowling, Mark R ; Davis, Matthew J ; Drummond, Peter D ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

The stochastic-gauge representation is a method of mapping the equation of motion for the quantum mechanical density operator onto a set of equivalent stochastic differential equations. One of the stochastic variables is termed the 'weight', and its magnitude is related to the importance of the stochastic trajectory. We investigate the use of Monte Carlo algorithms to improve the sampling of the weighted trajectories and thus reduce sampling error in a simulation of quantum dynamics. The method can be applied to calculations in real time, as well as imaginary time for which Monte Carlo algorithms are more-commonly used. The Monte-Carlo algorithmsmore »« less

Quantum Monte Carlo simulations and maximum entropy: Dynamics from imaginary-time data

Journal Article Gubernatis, J E ; Jarrell, M ; Silver, R N ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (United States)

We report the details of an application of the method of maximum entropy to the extraction of spectral and transport properties from the imaginary-time correlation functions generated from quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the nondegenerate, symmetric, single-impurity Anderson model. We find that these physical properties are approximately universal functions of temperature and frequency when these parameters are scaled by the Kondo temperature. We also found that important details for successful extractions included the generation of statistically independent, Gaussian-distributed data, and a good choice of a default model to represent the state of our prior knowledge about the result in themore »« less

Excited states by quantum Monte Carlo methods: Imaginary time evolution with projection operators

Journal Article Blume, D. Lewerenz, M. Whaley, K.B. ; Blume, D ; Niyaz, P ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics

We present a Monte Carlo algorithm suitable for the calculation of excited state energies of multidimensional quantum systems. Energies are extracted from a maximum entropy analysis of the imaginary time evolution of a state prepared by application of a projection operator on an initial wave function. The imaginary time evolution is computed with a pure diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm. The method is demonstrated on a harmonic oscillator and several Morse oscillator test problems. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Accurate molecular dynamics and nuclear quantum effects at low cost by multiple steps in real and imaginary time: Using density functional theory to accelerate wavefunction methods

Journal Article Kapil, V. ; Ceriotti, M., E-mail: michele.ceriotti@epfl.ch ; VandeVondele, J., E-mail: joost.vandevondele@mat.ethz.ch - Journal of Chemical Physics

The development and implementation of increasingly accurate methods for electronic structure calculations mean that, for many atomistic simulation problems, treating light nuclei as classical particles is now one of the most serious approximations. Even though recent developments have significantly reduced the overhead for modeling the quantum nature of the nuclei, the cost is still prohibitive when combined with advanced electronic structure methods. Here we present how multiple time step integrators can be combined with ring-polymer contraction techniques (effectively, multiple time stepping in imaginary time) to reduce virtually to zero the overhead of modelling nuclear quantum effects, while describing inter-atomic forcesmore »« less
