Good book for Monte Carlo methods in c++? [closed]

Question

Can anybody recommend a good introduction book on Monte Carlo algorithms in c++? Preferably with applications to physics, and even more preferably, the kind of physics being quantum mechanics.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can have a look at Morten Hjorth-Jensen's Lecture Notes on Computational Physics (pdf file, 5.3 MB), University of Oslo (2009), chapters 8-11 (especially chapter 11, on Quantum Monte Carlo).

However, you should make sure you are not trying to learn too many things at the same time (Monte Carlo, C++, quantum mechanics). There are very good references (or introductory books) for each one of those topics separately.

Answer 2

If you don't mind a book with a finance slant to it, my initial assessment of Monte Carlo Frameworks: Building Customisable High-Performance C++ Applications is very positive.
