Frustrated spin systems generically suffer from the negative sign problem inherent to Monte Carlo methods. Since the severity of this problem is formulation dependent, optimization strategies can be put forward. We introduce a phase pinning approach in the realm of the auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo algorithm. If we can find an anti-unitary operator that commutes with the one body Hamiltonian coupled to the auxiliary field, then the phase of the action is pinned to $0$ and $pi$. For generalized Kitaev models, we can successfully apply this strategy and observe a remarkable improvement of the average sign. We use this method to study thermodynamical and dynamical properties of the Kitaev-Heisenberg model down to temperatures corresponding to half of the exchange coupling constant. Our dynamical data reveals finite temperature properties of ordered and spin-liquid phases inherent to this model.

Recently, the family of rare-earth chalcohalides were proposed as candidate compounds to realize the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL). In the present work, we firstly propose an effective spin Hamiltonian consistents with the symmetry group of the crystal structure. Then we apply classical Monte Carlo simulations to preliminarily study the model and establish a phase diagram. When approaching to the low temperature limit, several magnetic long range orders are observed, including the stripe, the zigzag, the antiferromagnetic (AFM), the ferromagnetic (FM), the incommensurate spiral (IS), the Multi-$pmb {Q}$ and the 120{deg}. We further calculate the thermodynamic properties of the system, such as the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and the heat capacity. The ordering transition temperatures reflected in the two quantities agree with each other. For most interaction regions, the system is magnetically more susceptible in the $ab$-plane than in the $c$-direction. The stripe phase is special, where the susceptibility is fairly isotropic in the whole temperature region. These features provide useful information to understand the magnetic properties of related materials.
The Bose condensation of 2D dipolar excitons in quantum wells is numerically studied by the diffusion Monte Carlo simulation method. The correlation, microscopic, thermodynamic, and spectral characteristics are calculated. It is shown that, in structures of coupled quantum wells, in which low-temperature features of exciton luminescence have presently been observed, dipolar excitons form a strongly correlated system. Their Bose condensation can experimentally be achieved much easily than for ideal or weakly correlated excitons.
We study interacting Majorana fermions in two dimensions as a low-energy effective model of a vortex lattice in two-dimensional time-reversal-invariant topological superconductors. For that purpose, we implement ab-initio quantum Monte Carlo simulation to the Majorana fermion system in which the path-integral measure is given by a semi-positive Pfaffian. We discuss spontaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry at finite temperature.
We explore two complementary modifications of the hybridization-expansion continuous-time Monte Carlo method, aiming at large multi-orbital quantum impurity problems. One idea is to compute the imaginary-time propagation using a matrix product states representation. We show that bond dimensions considerably smaller than the dimension of the Hilbert space are sufficient to obtain accurate results, and that this approach scales polynomially, rather than exponentially with the number of orbitals. Based on scaling analyses, we conclude that a matrix product state implementation will outperform the exact-diagonalization based method for quantum impurity problems with more than 12 orbitals. The second idea is an improved Monte Carlo sampling scheme which is applicable to all variants of the hybridization expansion method. We show that this so-called sliding window sampling scheme speeds up the simulation by at least an order of magnitude for a broad range of model parameters, with the largest improvements at low temperature.
We use the stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo method, together with the eigenstate-to-Hamiltonian mapping approach, to map the localized ground states of the disordered two-dimensional Heisenberg model, to excited states of a target Hamiltonian. The localized nature of the ground state is established by studying the spin stiffness, local entanglement entropy, and local magnetization. This construction allows us to define many body localized states in an energy resolved phase diagram thereby providing concrete numerical evidence for the existence of a many-body localized phase in two dimensions.
