The flexibility of semiflexible polymers with sizes between one-third to ten bend persistence lengths is examined within the worm-like chain model. It is found that the model predicts an asymmetric force-extension relation for short semiflexible polymers, in agreement with other calculations using a different numerical method. The expression for the tangent vector profile is derived from the Gibbs free energy of the polymer. Newly predicted is a central region of long-range order in which fluctuations in the orientation of the tangent to the polymer backbone have constant average amplitude, when a force within a characteristic range is applied to the polymer endpoint. Also newly predicted is that the amplitude of the fluctuations present in short polymers depends on the length of the polymer. A similar phenomenon is found for the average spin along the length of one-dimensional Ising magnets of different sizes for applied magnetic fields in a characteristic range. A comparison of the mathematical form of the worm-like chain and the Ising magnet is presented. A new numerical method for the calculation of equilibrium properties of semiflexible polymers, based on the quantum rotor isomorphism, is described in detail. The derivation of the isomorphism is included. The Path Integral Monte Carlo method used for simulations of quantum rotors is explained and the adaptations required to treat the polymer are described. Numerical estimators for the extension and tangent vector profile of the polymer are derived and the results of convergence studies are presented.
