Abstract

Simulating long-range interacting systems is a challenging task due to its computational complexity that the computational effort for each local update is of order , where is the size of system. Recently, a technique, called hereby the clock factorized quantum Monte Carlo method, was developed on the basis of the so-called factorized Metropolis filter [Phys. Rev. E 99 010105 (2019)]. In this work, we first explain step by step how the clock factorized quantum Monte Carlo method is implemented to reduce the computational overhead from to (1). In particular, the core ingredients, including the concepts of bound probabilities and bound rejection events, the tree-like data structure, and the fast algorithms for sampling an extensive set of discrete and small probabilities, are elaborated. Next, we show how the clock factorized quantum Monte Carlo method can be flexibly implemented in various update strategies, like the Metropolis and worm-type algorithms, and can be generalized to simulate quantum systems. Finally, we demonstrate the high efficiency of the clock factorized quantum Monte Carlo algorithms in the examples of the quantum Ising model and the Bose-Hubbard model with long-range interactions and/or long-range hopping amplitudes. We expect that the clock factorized quantum Monte Carlo algorithms would find broad applications in statistical and condensed-matter physics.
