Abstract

We use a self-guided random walk to solve the ground-state problem of Hamiltonian U(1) pure gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions in the string sector. By making use of the electric-field representation, we argue that the spatial distribution of the electric field can be more easily measured than in ordinary Monte Carlo simulations.
