The Markov Chain Monte Carlo method is a ubiquitous tool in Statistical Physics. It is standard lore that close to a point of a second-order phase transition a phenomenon called critical slowing down hampers efficient sampling. A major breakthrough in reducing this slowing down for the random-cluster model has been the invention of the Swendsen-Wang-Chayes-Machta algorithm. Recently, however, it has been shown, that local chains can be as or even more efficient than non-local chains. Examples are the Worm algorithm for the Ising model and the single-bond dynamics for the random-cluster model. We present results of a numerical study of the coupling time of the single-bond chain dynamics for the random-cluster model. A careful analysis allows us to obtain high-precision (upper) bounds for auto-correlation, relaxation and mixing times for both critical and off-critical temperatures on square and simple-cubic lattices. The numerical results give strong evidence in favor of the rapid-mixing property of the single-bond dynamics for the random-cluster model, both at a second-order phase transition and off criticality. Furthermore we also present, to our knowledge, a novel heuristic method for detecting a first-order phase transition in the coupling-time distribution.
