Abstract: Quantum simulations Simulations of interacting particles in classical systems generally involve the Metropolis algorithm. A quantum version of this approach has been hindered by the lack of a means to simulate the equilibrium and static properties of quantum systems. Frank Verstraete and colleagues have overcome this problem. Their quantum version of the Metropolis algorithm could find widespread application in many-body quantum physics, such as computing the binding energies of complex molecules or determining hadron masses in gauge theories.
