Configuration path integral Monte Carlo simulation of correlated fermions — •Tim Schoof¹, Alexej Filinov¹, Michael Bonitz¹, and James W. Dufty² — ¹Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Leibnitzstraße 15, 24098 Kiel — ²Physics Department, University of Florida, Gainesville

We develop a new path integral Monte Carlo approach which is formulated in occupation number representation. The method is applied to strongly correlated fermions in a trap [1]. Formally exact results are obtained by a transition from discrete to continuous imaginary time representation [2]. The efficiency of the method (fermion sign problem) is investigated for a broad range of temperatures, coupling parameters and particle numbers and compared to standard path integral Monte Carlo methods.
