Path integral molecular dynamics simulations for Green's function in a system of identical bosons

Path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) has been successfully applied to perform simulations of large bosonic systems in a recent study [Hirshberg et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 116, 21445 (2019)]. In this work, we extend PIMD techniques to study Green's function for bosonic systems. We demonstrate that the development of the original PIMD method enables us to calculate Green's function and extract momentum distribution from our simulations. We also apply our method to systems of identical interacting bosons to study Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition around its critical temperature.& nbsp;Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.
