The Wang-Landau algorithm is a Monte Carlo method used primarily for computing the density of states of a physical system, which is important for understanding thermodynamic properties. Developed by Feng Wang and D. P. Landau in 2001, this algorithm efficiently gathers statistical information about a system's energy states, allowing for accurate calculations of thermodynamic quantities.
