Determining quantum Monte Carlo simulability with geometric phases

Although stoquastic Hamiltonians are known to be simulable via sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) techniques, the nonstoquasticity of a Hamiltonian does not necessarily imply the existence of a QMC sign problem. We give a sufficient and necessary condition for the QMC-simulability of Hamilt...
