It allows exact symmetry projection and direct evaluation of the equal-time Green's function and other observables in the canonical ensemble. The method is applied to bosonic atoms in optical lattices, neutron pairs in atomic nuclei and electron pairs in ultrasmall superconducting grains.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-08-12T16:09:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "02.70.Ss", "71.10.Li", "05.10.Ln", "21.60.Ka" ], "keywords": [ "quantum monte carlo simulations", "loop updates", "canonical ensemble", "conserves particle number", "exact symmetry projection" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
