  • Novel Quantum Monte Carlo Approaches for Quantum Liquids
    Novel Quantum Monte Carlo Approaches for Quantum Liquids Brenda M. Rubenstein Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 c 2013 Brenda M. Rubenstein All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Novel Quantum Monte Carlo Approaches for Quantum Liquids Brenda M. Rubenstein Quantum Monte Carlo methods are a powerful suite of techniques for solving the quantum many-body problem. By using random numbers to stochastically sample quantum proper- ties, QMC methods are capable of studying low-temperature quantum systems well beyond the reach of conventional deterministic techniques. QMC techniques have likewise been indispensible tools for augmenting our current knowledge of superfluidity and superconduc- tivity. In this thesis, I present two new quantum Monte Carlo techniques, the Monte Carlo Power Method and Bose-Fermi Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo, and apply previ- ously developed Path Integral Monte Carlo methods to explore two new phases of quantum hard spheres and hydrogen. I lay the foundation for a subsequent description of my re- search by first reviewing the physics of quantum liquids in Chapter 2 and the mathematics behind Quantum Monte Carlo algorithms in Chapter 3. I then discuss the Monte Carlo Power Method, a stochastic way of computing the first several extremal eigenvalues of a matrix too memory-intensive to be stored and therefore diagonalized. As an illustration of the technique, I demonstrate how it can be used to determine the second eigenvalues of the transition matrices of several popular Monte Carlo algorithms. This information may be used to quantify how rapidly a Monte Carlo algorithm is converging to the equilibrium probability distribution it is sampling.
