Path-Integral Monte Carlo Worm Algorithm is one of many Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods that serve as powerful tools for the simulation of quantum many-body systems. Developed in the late 90’s, this algorithm has been used with great success to study a wide array of physical models where exact calculation of observables is not possible due to the exponential size of the Hilbert space. One type of systems that have eluded PIMC-WA implementation are lattice models at zero temperature, which are of relevance in experimental settings, such as in optical lattices of ultra-cold atoms. In this thesis, we develop a …
