Abstract: In this paper we explore new ways to study the zero temperature limit of quantum statistical mechanics using Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We develop a Quantum Monte Carlo method in which one fixes the ground state energy as a parameter. The Hamiltonians we consider are of the form $H=H_0+lambdaV$ with ground state energy E. For fixed $H_0$ and V, one can view E as a function of $lambda$ whereas we view $lambda$ as a function of E. We fix E and define a path integral Quantum Monte Carlo method in which a path makes no reference to the times (discrete or continuous) at which transitions occur between states. For fixed E we can determine $lambda(E)$ and other ground state properties of H.
