Monte Carlo Simulations with Complex-Valued Measure

Abstract

A simulation method based on the RG blocking is shown to yield statistical errors smaller than that of the crude MC using absolute values of the original measures. The new method is particularly suitable to apply to the sign problem of indefinite or complex-valued measures. We demonstrate the many advantages of this method in the simulation of 2D Ising model with complex-valued temperature.
