Abstract: (APS)
Efficient and accurate algorithms for partition function, free energy, and thermal entropy calculations is of great significance in statistical physics and quantum many-body physics. Here we present an unbiased but low-technical-barrier algorithm within the quantum Monte Carlo framework, which has exceptionally high accuracy and no systemic error. Compared with the conventional specific heat integral method and Wang-Landau sampling algorithm, our method can obtain a much more accurate result of the subleading coefficient of the entropy consistent with theory. This method can be widely used in both classical and quantum Monte Carlo simulations and is easy to be parallelized on a computer.Note:
