Troublesome Monte Carlo
First impression is good but rather false.
- Monte Carlo dynamics are not real.
- Individual configurations not a meaningful as they appear.
Need to look at statistics - idea is to sample representative ensemble
of equilibrium configurations.
- Need to thermalize for a given set of parameters.
- Graph measurements, calculate means.
- Problems with slow-down near transitions.
