title: Sign-Problem-Free Monte Carlo Simulation of Certain Frustrated Quantum Magnets.
abstract: We introduce a quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method for efficient sign-problem-free simulations of a broad class of frustrated S=1/2 antiferromagnets using the basis of spin eigenstates of clusters to avoid the severe sign problem faced by other QMC methods. We demonstrate the utility of the method in several cases with competing exchange interactions and flag important limitations as well as possible extensions of the method.
