This method combines a stochastic blocking procedure with the multigrid method to rapidly accelerate the sampling of paths in a quantum Monte Carlo simulation, making its dynamics more ergodic. The effectiveness and efficiency of this method are demonstrated for several one-dimensional quantum systems and compared to other standard and accelerated methods.9 pages, 12 figures. J. Phys. Chem.
