A Quantum Kinetic Monte Carlo Method for Quantum Many-body Spin Dynamics
Abstract
We propose a general framework of quantum kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm, based on
a stochastic representation of a series expansion of the quantum evolution. Two approaches
have been developed in the context of quantum many-body spin dynamics, using different
decomposition of the Hamiltonian. The effectiveness of the methods is tested for many-body
spin systems up to 40 spins.
