  2. Science and Technology of quantum many-body systems simulation algorithms entanglement Computational Physics Quantum Information Theory Introduction

  3. Outline • Overview: new simulation algorithms for quantum systems • Time evolution in 1D quantum lattices (e.g. spin chains) • Entanglement renormalization

  4. 2D 2005 1D Entanglement renormalization PEPS • Verstraete • Cirac 2004 2D TEBD 2003 time evolution ground state 1D 1D DMRG • White 1992 Recent results • Hastings • Osborne time (Other tools: mean field, density functional theory, quantum Monte Carlo, positive-P representation...)

  5. N = 100 dim(H) = Computational problem • Simulating N quantum systems on a classical computer seems to be hard Hilbert Space dimension = 16 2 4 8 “small” system to test 2D Heisenberg model (High-T superconductivity) Hilbert Space dimension = 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376

  6. problems: solutions: (i) state • Use a tensor network: coefficients (for 1D systems MPS, DMRG) i1 ... in i1 ... in i1 in … (ii) evolution • Decompose it into small gates: (if , with ) coefficients i1 ... in i1 in … jn j1 … j1 ... jn

  7. efficient description of and Trotter expansion matrix product state i1 ... in • efficient update of i1 ... in = operations j1 ... jn simulation of time evolution in 1D quantum lattices (spin chains, fermions, bosons,...)

  8. tensor network (1D: matrix product state) i1 in … i1 in … coefficients coefficients coef efficiency entanglement A B Entanglement & efficient simulations • Schmidt decomposition

  9. number of shared singlets A:B Entanglement in 1D systems • Toy model I (non-critical chain): correlation length • Toy model II (critical chain):

  10. arbitrary state spins coefficients • non-critical 1D coefficients spins • critical 1D spins coefficients change of attitude summary: In DMRG, TEBD & PEPS, the amount of entanglement determines the efficiency of the simulation Entanglement renormalization disentangle the system

  11. Entanglement renormalization no disentanglement partial disentanglement Examples: complete disentanglement

  12. Entanglement renormalization Multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA)

  13. C, fortran, highly optimized days in “big” machine a few hours in this laptop matlab Performance: system size (1D) time code memory greatest achievements in 13 years according to S. White DMRG ( ) Entanglement renormalization ( ) first tests at UQ Extension to 2D: work in progress

  14. Understanding the structure of entanglement in • quantum many-body systems is the key to achieving • an efficient simulation in a wide range of problems. or simply... • There are new tools to efficiently simulate quantum • lattice systems in 1D, 2D, ... Conclusions
