A quantum Monte Carlo algorithm realizing an intrinsic relaxation

We propose a new quantum Monte Carlo algorithm that realizes a relaxation intrinsic to an original quantum system. The Monte Carlo dynamics satisfies the dynamic scaling relation tau similar to xi(z) and is independent of the Trotter number. The finiteness of the Trotter number appears as the finite-size effect. An infinite Trotter number version of the algorithm, which enables us to observe a true relaxation of the original system, is also formulated. The strategy of the algorithm is a compromise between a conventional worldline local flip and a modern cluster loop flip. It is a local flip in the real-space direction and is a cluster flip in the Trotter direction. The new algorithm is tested using the transverse-field Ising model in two dimensions. An accurate phase diagram is obtained.
