Quantum Monte Carlo calculations for frustrated spin systems — Andreas Honecker2, •Rene John Kerkdyk1, Thomas Pruschke1, and Stefan Wessel3 — 1Georg-August-Univesität Göttingen — 2Université de Cergy-Pontoise, Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modélisation — 3RWTH Aachen
Using Quantum Monte Carlo methods to examine the behavior of frustrated spin systems at low temperatures is usually problematic due to the sign problem. Our research focuses on a cluster approach to a model-specific elimination or reduction of the sign problem. We have implemented this approach in a worm algorithm for a one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg ladder and show that it permits access to the thermodynamic behaviour over the entire temperature range.
