Witten index from lattice simulation

Abstract

I propose a method for measuring the Witten index using a lattice simulation. The index is useful to discuss spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry. As a test of the method, I also report some numerical results for the supersymmetric quantum mechanics, for which the index is known.
