We present an approximative simulation method for quantum many-body systems based on coarse graining the space of the momentum transferred between interacting particles, which leads to effective Hamiltonians of reduced size with the flavor-twisted boundary condition. A rapid, accurate, and fast convergent computation of the ground-state energy is demonstrated on the spin-1/2 quantum antiferromagnet of any dimension by employing only two sites. The method is expected to be useful for future simulations and quick estimates on other strongly correlated systems.

Impurities, defects, and other types of imperfections are ubiquitous in realistic quantum many-body systems and essentially unavoidable in solid state materials. Often, such random disorder is viewed purely negatively as it is believed to prevent int eresting new quantum states of matter from forming and to smear out sharp features associated with the phase transitions between them. However, disorder is also responsible for a variety of interesting novel phenomena that do not have clean counterparts. These include Anderson localization of single particle wave functions, many-body localization in isolated many-body systems, exotic quantum critical points, and glassy ground state phases. This brief review focuses on two separate but related subtopics in this field. First, we review under what conditions different types of randomness affect the stability of symmetry-broken low-temperature phases in quantum many-body systems and the stability of the corresponding phase transitions. Second, we discuss the fate of quantum phase transitions that are destabilized by disorder as well as the unconventional quantum Griffiths phases that emerge in their vicinity.
The computation of determinants plays a central role in diagrammatic Monte Carlo algorithms for strongly correlated systems. The evaluation of large numbers of determinants can often be the limiting computational factor determining the number of atta inable diagrammatic expansion orders. In this work we build upon the algorithm presented in [emph{Linear Algebra and its applications} 419.1 (2006), 107-124] which computes all principal minors of a matrix in $O(2^n)$ operations. We present multiple generalizations of the algorithm to the efficient evaluation of certain subsets of all principal minors with immediate applications to Connected Determinant Diagrammatic Monte Carlo within the normal and symmetry-broken phases as well as Continuous-time Quantum Monte Carlo. Additionally, we improve the asymptotic scaling of diagrammatic Monte Carlo formulated in real-time to $O(2^n)$ and report speedups of up to a factor $25$ at computationally realistic expansion orders. We further show that all permanent-principal-minors, corresponding to sums of bosonic Feynman diagrams, can be computed in $O(3^n)$, making diagrammatic Monte Carlo for bosonic and mixed systems a viable path worth exploring.
The single-particle density is the most basic quantity that can be calculated from a given many-body wave function. It provides the probability to find a particle at a given position when the average over many realizations of an experiment is taken. However, the outcome of single experimental shots of ultracold atom experiments is determined by the $N$-particle probability density. This difference can lead to surprising results. For example, independent Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with definite particle numbers form interference fringes even though no fringes would be expected based on the single-particle density [1-4]. By drawing random deviates from the $N$-particle probability density single experimental shots can be simulated from first principles [1, 3, 5]. However, obtaining expressions for the $N$-particle probability density of realistic time-dependent many-body systems has so far been elusive. Here, we show how single experimental shots of general ultracold bosonic systems can be simulated based on numerical solutions of the many-body Schrodinger equation. We show how full counting distributions of observables involving any number of particles can be obtained and how correlation functions of any order can be evaluated. As examples we show the appearance of interference fringes in interacting independent BECs, fluctuations in the collisions of strongly attractive BECs, the appearance of randomly fluctuating vortices in rotating systems and the center of mass fluctuations of attractive BECs in a harmonic trap. The method described is broadly applicable to bosonic many-body systems whose phenomenology is driven by information beyond what is typically available in low-order correlation functions.
A gapped many-body system is described by path integral on a space-time lattice $C^{d+1}$, which gives rise to a partition function $Z(C^{d+1})$ if $partial C^{d+1} =emptyset$, and gives rise to a vector $|Psirangle$ on the boundary of space-time if $partial C^{d+1} eqemptyset$. We show that $V = text{log} sqrt{langlePsi|Psirangle}$ satisfies the inclusion-exclusion property $frac{V(Acup B)+V(Acap B)}{V(A)+V(B)}=1$ and behaves like a volume of the space-time lattice $C^{d+1}$ in large lattice limit (i.e. thermodynamics limit). This leads to a proposal that the vector $|Psirangle$ is the quantum-volume of the space-time lattice $C^{d+1}$. The inclusion-exclusion property does not apply to quantum-volume since it is a vector. But quantum-volume satisfies a quantum additive property. The violation of the inclusion-exclusion property by $V = text{log} sqrt{langlePsi|Psirangle}$ in the subleading term of thermodynamics limit gives rise to topological invariants that characterize the topological order in the system. This is a systematic way to construct and compute topological invariants from a generic path integral. For example, we show how to use non-universal partition functions $Z(C^{2+1})$ on several related space-time lattices $C^{2+1}$ to extract $(M_f)_{11}$ and $text{Tr}(M_f)$, where $M_f$ is a representation of the modular group $SL(2,mathbb{Z})$ -- a topological invariant that almost fully characterizes the 2+1D topological orders.
The level of current understanding of the physics of time-dependent strongly correlated quantum systems is far from complete, principally due to the lack of effective controlled approaches. Recently, there has been progress in the development of appr oaches for one-dimensional systems. We describe recent developments in the construction of numerical schemes for general (one-dimensional) Hamiltonians: in particular, schemes based on exact diagonalization techniques and on the density matrix renormalization group method (DMRG). We present preliminary results for spinless fermions with nearest-neighbor-interaction and investigate their accuracy by comparing with exact results.
