Abstract

We apply the Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) and recursive numerical integration
methods to evaluate the Euclidean, discretized time path-integral for the quantum
mechanical anharmonic oscillator and a topological quantum mechanical
rotor model. For the anharmonic oscillator both methods outperform standard
Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and show a significantly improved
error scaling. For the quantum mechanical rotor we could, however, not find
a successful way employing QMC. On the other hand, the recursive numerical
integration method works extremely well for this model and shows an at least
exponentially fast error scaling.
