We review Whites density matrix renormalisation group method, an increasingly popular method for the solution of low dimensional quantum Hamiltonians. We describe some applications to frustrated spin systems, quantum critical phenomena, two dimensional classical and one dimensional quantum systems at non-zero temperature, and low energy properties of two dimensional quantum models such as the Hubbard and Heisenberg Hamiltonians.

The massive Schwinger model is studied, using a density matrix renormalisation group approach to the staggered lattice Hamiltonian version of the model. Lattice sizes up to 256 sites are calculated, and the estimates in the continuum limit are almost two orders of magnitude more accurate than previous calculations. Colemans picture of `half-asymptotic particles at background field theta = pi is confirmed. The predicted phase transition at finite fermion mass (m/g) is accurately located, and demonstrated to belong in the 2D Ising universality class.
The numerical study of anyonic systems is known to be highly challenging due to their non-bosonic, non-fermionic particle exchange statistics, and with the exception of certain models for which analytical solutions exist, very little is known about t heir collective behaviour as a result. Meanwhile, the density matrix renormalisation group (DMRG) algorithm is an exceptionally powerful numerical technique for calculating the ground state of a low-dimensional lattice Hamiltonian, and has been applied to the study of bosonic, fermionic, and group-symmetric systems. The recent development of a tensor network formulation for anyonic systems opened up the possibility of studying these systems using algorithms such as DMRG, though this has proved challenging both in terms of programming complexity and computational cost. This paper presents the implementation of DMRG for finite anyonic systems, including a detailed scheme for the implementation of anyonic tensors with optimal scaling of computational cost. The anyonic DMRG algorithm is demonstrated by calculating the ground state energy of the Golden Chain, which has become the benchmark system for the numerical study of anyons, and is shown to produce results comparable to those of the anyonic TEBD algorithm and superior to the variationally optimised anyonic MERA, at far lesser computational cost.

We consider the applications of functional renormalisation group to few and many-body systems. As an application to the few-body dynamics we study the ratio between the fermion-fermion scattering length and the dimer-dimer scattering length for syste ms of few nonrelativistic fermions. We find a strong dependence on the cutoff function used in the renormalisation flow for a two-body truncation of the action. Adding a simple three-body term substantially reduces this dependence. In the context of many-body physics we study the dynamics of both symmetric and asymmetric many-fermion systems using the same functional renormalisation technique. It is demonstrated that functional renormalisation group gives sensible and reliable results and provides a solid theoretical ground for the future studies. Open questions as well as lines of further developments are discussed.
We apply a recent adaptation of Whites density matrix renormalisation group (DMRG) method to a simple quantum spin model, the dimerised $XY$ chain, in order to assess the applicabilty of the DMRG to quantum systems at non-zero temperature. We find th at very reasonable results can be obtained for the thermodynamic functions down to low temperatures using a very small basis set. Low temperature results are found to be most accurate in the case when there is a substantial energy gap.
The Marginally Rigid State is a candidate paradigm for what makes granular material a state of matter distinct from both liquid and solid. Coordination number is identified as a discriminating characteristic, and for rough-surfaced particles we show that the low values predicted are indeed approached in simple two dimensional experiments. We show calculations of the stress transmission suggesting that this is governed by local linear equations of constraint between the stress components. These constraints can in turn be related to the generalised forces conjugate to the motion of grains rolling over each other. The lack of a spatially coherent way of imposing a sign convention on these motions is a problem for up-scaling the equations, which leads us to attempt a renormalisation group calculation. Finally we discuss how perturbations propagate through such systems, suggesting a distinction between the behaviour of rough and of smooth grains.
