How to include disorder in the numerical computation?

For example, in tight binding model, the site energy is random
I want to have 100 disorder realizations, then I have the following
two questions:

1. Do different realization needs different seed in the random number generation subroutine?

2. When all realizations are completed, the result should be the simple average? (i.e., \frac{\sum_{n=1}^{100} P_n}{100}.
)
Please help me, if you know, Thank you in advance!

Whenever one needs to include some "random" processes in a particular calculation or modeling, one tends to use some form of Monte Carlo algorithm. Not sure if this is applicable to you, but it is used a lot in different areas of physics.

Thanks you, Zz, you are right.
 
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
