Random sampling of lattice configurations using local Markov chains

Algorithms based on Markov chains are ubiquitous across scientific disciplines, as they provide a method for extracting statistical information about large, complicated systems. Although these algorithms may be applied to arbitrary graphs, many physical applications are more naturally studied under...
