We present a wave function representation for the canonical ensemble thermal density matrix by projecting the thermofield double state against the desired number of particles. The resulting canonical thermal state obeys an imaginary time-evolution equation. Starting with the mean-field approximation, where the canonical thermal state becomes an antisymmetrized geminal power wave function, we explore two different schemes to add correlation: by number-projecting a correlated grand-canonical thermal state, and by adding correlation to the number-projected mean-field state. As benchmark examples, we use number-projected configuration interaction and an AGP-based perturbation theory to study the Hydrogen molecule in a minimal basis and the six-site Hubbard model.

Coupling a quantum many-body system to an external environment dramatically changes its dynamics and offers novel possibilities not found in closed systems. Of special interest are the properties of the steady state of such open quantum many-body sys
tems, as well as the relaxation dynamics towards the steady state. However, new computational tools are required to simulate open quantum many-body systems, as methods developed for closed systems cannot be readily applied. We review several approaches to simulate open many-body systems and point out the advances made in recent years towards the simulation of large system sizes.
We identify the dominant computational cost within the recently introduced stochastic and internally contracted FCIQMC-NEVPT2 method for large active space sizes. This arises from the contribution to the four-body intermediates arising from low-excit
ation level sampled determinant pairs. We develop an effective way to mitigate this cost via an additional stochastic step within the sampling of the required NEVPT2 intermediates. We find this systematically improvable additional sampling can reduce simulation time by 80% without introducing appreciable error. This saving is expected to increase for larger active spaces. We combine this enhanced sampling scheme with full stochastic orbital optimization for the first time, and apply it to find FCIQMC-NEVPT2 energies for spin states of an iron porphyrin system within (24,24) active spaces with relatively meagre computational resources. This active space size can now be considered as routine for NEVPT2 calculations of strongly correlated molecular systems within this improved stochastic methodology.
Strong pairing correlations are responsible for superconductivity and off-diagonal long range order in the two-particle density matrix. The antisymmetrized geminal power wave function was championed many years ago as the simplest model that can provi
de a reasonable qualitative description for these correlations without breaking number symmetry. The fact remains, however, that the antisymmetrized geminal power is not generally quantitatively accurate in all correlation regimes. In this work, we discuss how we might use this wave function as a reference state for a more sophisticated correlation technique such as configuration interaction, coupled cluster theory, or the random phase approximation.
Atom counting theory can be used to study the role of thermal noise in quantum phase transitions and to monitor the dynamics of a quantum system. We illustrate this for a strongly correlated fermionic system, which is equivalent to an anisotropic qua
ntum XY chain in a transverse field, and can be realized with cold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice. We analyze the counting statistics across the phase diagram in the presence of thermal fluctuations, and during its thermalization when the system is coupled to a heat bath. At zero temperature, the quantum phase transition is reflected in the cumulants of the counting distribution. We find that the signatures of the crossover remain visible at low temperature and are obscured with increasing thermal fluctuations. We find that the same quantities may be used to scan the dynamics during the thermalization of the system.
Correlated many-fermion systems emerge in a broad range of phenomena in warm dense matter, plasmonics, and ultracold atoms. Quantum hydrodynamics (QHD) complements common first-principles methods for many-fermion systems and enables simulations at la
rger length and longer time scales. While the quantum Bohm potential is central to QHD, we illustrate its failure for strong perturbations. We extend QHD to this regime by utilizing the many-fermion quantum Bohm potential. This opens up the path to more accurate simulations in strongly perturbed warm dense matter, inhomogeneous quantum plasmas, and on nano-structure surfaces at scales unattainable with first-principles algorithms. The many-fermion quantum Bohm potential might also have important astrophysical applications in developing conformal-invariant cosmologies.
