Variational Monte Carlo algorithm for lattice gauge theories with continuous gauge groups: A study of (2+1)-dimensional compact QED with dynamical fermions at finite density

Lattice gauge theories coupled to fermionic matter account for many interesting phenomena in both high-energy physics and condensed-matter physics. Certain regimes, e.g., at finite fermion density, are difficult to simulate with traditional Monte Carlo algorithms due to the so-called sign problem. W...
