SUMMARY
Monte Carlo methods can be applied to solve Maxwell's equations, which are traditionally addressed using deterministic methods like Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) methods. FDTD is known for its high computational intensity, leading to questions about the feasibility of Monte Carlo approaches. The discussion highlights that while Monte Carlo methods are not commonly used, they can offer advantages depending on the specific problem context. Hybrid numerical methods may also be beneficial for certain applications.
