A recent update to the solitaire app on my phone installed only winning deals. That is, every game can be won, although it may not be completely obvious how to do so. If you make a wrong move at some ...

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

There are two flavors of QMC, (a) variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and (b) projector Monte Carlo (PMC). VMC starts by proposing a functional form for the wavefunction and then optimizes the parameters of ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...
