Abstract

A new Monte Carlo method is described for quantum (s= 1/2) spins which maps the spin model onto a model of hard-core bosons. The Hamiltonian is then broken up into kinetic and potential parts and the Trotter formula used to simulate the Bose system. The power of this mapping comes from the fact that, by letting the system evolve through unphysical spin states between imaginary time slices, the needed matrix elements have simple expressions.
