Education Method on Monte Carlo Analysis in Atomic Energy

The Monte-Carlo Method

The Monte Carlo Method

The Monte Carlo method is often referred to as a ‘computer experiment’. One might think of this as a way of conveying the fact that the output of simulations is not an equation, as in conventional theory. Instead, numbers appear on the computer screen in somewhat the same way that numbers appear on a measuring device in the laboratory. Thus there is the implication that somehow simulations are ...

Monte Carlo Simulation Method

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods such as Variational Monte Carlo, Diffusion Monte Carlo or Path Integral Monte Carlo are the most accurate and general methods for computing total electronic energies. We will review methods we have developed to perform QMC for the electrons coupled to another MC simulation for the ions. In this method, one estimates the Born-Oppenheimer energy E(Z) where Z repr...

MOCA ARM: Analog Reliability Measurement based on Monte Carlo Analysis

Due to the expected increase of defects in circuits based on deep submicron technologies, reliability has become an important design criterion. Although different approaches have been developed to estimate reliability in digital circuits and some measuring concepts have been separately presented to reveal the quality of analog circuit reliability in the literature, there is a gap to estimate re...
