Abstract: We propose an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for simulating a “hardly-relaxing” system, in which many replicas with different temperatures are simultaneously simulated and a virtual process exchanging configurations of these replicas is introduced. This exchange process is expected to let the system at low temperatures escape from a local minimum. By using this algorithm the three-dimensional ± J Ising spin glass model is studied. The ergodicity time in this method is found much smaller than that of the multi-canonical method. In particular the time correlation function almost follows an exponential decay whose relaxation time is comparable to the ergodicity time at low temperatures. It suggests that the system relaxes very rapidly through the exchange process even in the low temperature phase.

Error thresholds for Abelian quantum double models: Increasing the bit-flip stability of topological quantum memory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that topological quantum memories built from qudits, also known as Abelian quantum double models, exhibit a substantially increased resilience to noise, even when taking into account the multitude of errors possible for multilevel quantum systems.
