abstract = {We give an introduction to the calculation of path
integrals on a lattice, with the quantum harmonic oscillator
as an example. In addition to providing an explicit
computational setup and corresponding pseudocode, we pay
particular attention to the existence of autocorrelations
and the calculation of reliable errors. The over-relaxation
technique is presented as a way to counter strong
autocorrelations. The simulation methods can be extended to
compute observables for path integrals in other settings.},
