Canonical and Grand Canonical Ensemble Expectation Values from Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations

Abstract

We show how canonical ensemble expectation values can be extracted from quantum Monte Carlo simulations in the grand canonical ensemble. In order to obtain results for all particle sectors, a modest number of grand canonical simulations must be performed, each at a different chemical potential. From the canonical ensemble results, grand canonical expectation values can be extracted as a continuous function of the chemical potential. Results are presented from the application of this method to the two-dimensional Hubbard model.
