Abstract

We introduce and benchmark an improved algorithm for complex Langevin simulations of bosonic coherent state path integrals in the preprint. Our approach utilizes a Strang splitting of the imaginary-time propagator rather than the conventional linear-order Taylor expansion, allowing us to construct an action that incorporates higher-order terms at negligible computational cost. The resulting algorithm enjoys guaranteed linear stability independent of the imaginary-time discretization, enabling more resource-efficient simulations. We demonstrate this improved performance for single-species bosons and for two-component bosons with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The enclosed data set shows a method comparison between the standard "primitive" approach and the quadratic propagator technique used in this manuscript for many thermodynamic observables of interest.
