  In this paper we carry out Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of a quantum
particle in a one-dimensional random potential (plus a fixed harmonic
potential) at a finite temperature. This is the simplest model of an interface
in a disordered medium and may also pertain to an electron in a dirty metal. We
compare with previous analytical results, and also derive an expression for the
sample to sample fluctuations of the mean square displacement from the origin
which is a measure of the glassiness of the system. This quantity as well as
the mean square displacement of the particle are measured in the simulation.
The similarity to the quantum spin glass in a transverse field is noted. The
effect of quantum fluctuations on the glassy behavior is discussed.
