We present a subset method that solves the sign problem for QCD at nonzero quark chemical potential in 0+1 dimensions. The subsets of gauge configurations are constructed using the center symmetry of the SU(3) group. These subsets completely solve the sign problem for up to five flavors. For a larger number of flavors the sign problem slowly reappears, and we propose an extension of the subsets that also solves the sign problem for these cases. The subset method allows for numerical simulations of the model at nonzero chemical potential. We also present some preliminary results on subsets for QCD in two, three, and four dimensions.
