Putting M theory on a computer

Understand

We propose a non-lattice simulation for studying supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics in a non-perturbative manner.

• In particular, our method enables us to put M theory on a computer based on its matrix formulation proposed by Banks, Fischler, Shenker and Susskind.
• Here we present Monte Carlo results of the same matrix model but in a different parameter region, which corresponds to the 't Hooft large-N limit at finite temperature.
• In the strong coupling limit the model has a dual description in terms of the N D0-brane solution in 10d type IIA supergravity.
