Diagrammatic Monte Carlo
Mathematical physics method
In mathematical physics, the diagrammatic Monte Carlo method is based on stochastic summation of Feynman diagrams with controllable error bars.[1][2] It was developed by Boris Svistunov and Nikolay Prokof'ev. It was proposed as a generic approach to overcome the numerical sign problem that precludes simulations of many-body fermionic problems.[3] Diagrammatic Monte Carlo works in the thermodynamic limit, and its computational complexity does not scale exponentially with system or cluster volume.[4]
