A quantum Monte Carlo study of the anisotropic antiferromagnet with four-spin interaction (K) and with spin S=1/2 on a square lattice is reported. Temperature dependences of the capacity, susceptibility, spin correlation functions, and correlation length, and field dependences of magnetization are calculated. Phase diagrams of the ground-state antiferromagnet and gap (K>0) and gapless (K<0) quantum spin liquids are determined in the exchange-anisotropy-four-spin-coupling-constant (K), magnetic-field (H)-temperature (T), and temperature-(T)-K planes for an exchange anisotropy of 0.1 J.
