We introduce a numerical method of the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization-group to compute one-dimensional quantum spin systems with periodic boundary condition. We check our algorithm to study the dynamic correlation in spin-1/2 Heisenberg XX chain at zero temperature, and the numerical analysis of errors indicates that this method could be used to efficiently simulate the time-dependent properties of low-energy dynamics in an arbitrary one-dimensional quantum many-body systems with the nearest-neighbor interaction.

We present a numerical method to simulate the time evolution, according to a generic Hamiltonian made of local interactions, of quantum spin chains and systems alike. The efficiency of the scheme depends on the amount of entanglement involved in the simulated evolution. Numerical analysis indicates that this method can be used, for instance, to efficiently compute time-dependent properties of low-energy dynamics in sufficiently regular but otherwise arbitrary one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. As by-products, we describe two alternatives to the density matrix renormalization group method.
We study the one-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg model with an uniform and a staggered magnetic fields, using the dynamical density-matrix renormalization group (DDMRG) technique. The DDMRG enables us to investigate the dynamical properties of chain with lengths up to a few hundreds, and the results are numerically exact in the same sense as 'exact diagonalization' results are. Thus, we can analyze the low-energy spectrum almost in the thermodynamic limit. In this work, we calculate the dynamical spin structure factor and demonstrate the performance of the DDMRG method applying the open-end boundary conditions as well as the periodic boundary conditions.
In this work we develop a new numerical method, the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization-group (adaptive t-DMRG), which turns out to be very well suited to investigate time-dependent phenomena in one-dimensional strongly correlated systems. The method is based on the original density-matrix renormalization group method by White and the time evolving block-decimation procedure by Vidal. We further show the applicability of the new method to different physical systems: bosonic, fermionic, and spin chains. We first discuss the consequences of the presence of an external trapping potential on the static properties of trapped cold bosonic atoms in an optical lattice using the Bose-Hubbard model. It is shown that a properly rescaled one-particle density matrix characterizes superfluid versus insulating states just as in the homogeneous system. We note that the superfluid to Mott-insulating transition is seen most directly in the half width of the interference peak. Then we turn to the evolution of density perturbations in these systems. In particular, we discuss the dependence of the velocity and the decay of the amplitude on density, interaction strength, and the extent and height of the perturbation in a numerically exact way, covering a wide range of interaction and perturbation strengths. By comparing our results for the sound velocity to theoretical predictions, we determine the limits of a Gross-Pitaevskii or Bogoliubov type description and the regime where repulsive one-dimensional Bose gases exhibit fermionic behaviour. As a second application of the adaptive t-DMRG, we investigate the phenomenon of spin-charge separation in the Hubbard model and propose an experimental setup for its observation in cold Fermi gases. We show the robustness of this separation beyond the low-energy regime by studying the time evolution of density wave packets of finite strength and at length scales down to a few lattice spacings. A striking signature of spin-charge separation is found in 1D cold Fermi gases in a harmonic trap using the different propagation properties of the liquid and Mott-insulating phases. The third application relates to the area of spintronics. A simplified model for the magnetization transport between two coupled reservoirs with opposite spin polarization is studied. We investigate whether a simple long time limit for the spin transport exists and if so, how it depends on the properties of the system such as integrability and criticality. Time-scales accessible to us are of the order of 100 units of time measured in 1/J while maintaining insignificant error in the observables.
The Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) is a state-of-the-art numerical technique for a one dimensional quantum many-body system; but calculating accurate results for a system with Periodic Boundary Condition (PBC) from the conventional DMRG has been a challenging job from the inception of DMRG. The recent development of the Matrix Product State (MPS) algorithm gives a new approach to find accurate results for the one dimensional PBC system. The most efficient implementation of the MPS algorithm can scale as O(p×m3), where p can vary from 4 to m2. In this paper, we propose a new DMRG algorithm, which is very similar to the conventional DMRG and gives comparable accuracy to that of MPS. The computation effort of the new algorithm goes as O(m3) and the conventional DMRG code can be easily modified for the new algorithm.Received: 2 August 2016, Accepted: 12 October 2016; Edited by: K.

We present time-dependent density matrix renormalization group simulations (t-DMRG) at finite temperatures. It is demonstrated how a combination of finite-temperature t-DMRG and time-series prediction allows for an easy and very accurate calculation of spectral functions in one-dimensional quantum systems, irrespective of their statistics for arbitrary temperatures. This is illustrated with spin structure factors of XX and XXX spin-21 chains. For the XX model we can compare against an exact solution, and for the XXX model (Heisenberg antiferromagnet) against a Bethe ansatz solution and quantum Monte Carlo data.
Efficient MPS Algorithm for Periodic Boundary Conditions and Applications Section: Solid matter Original Author's Text: English Abstract: We present the implementation of an efficient algorithm for the calculation of the spectrum of one-dimensional quantum systems with periodic boundary conditions. This algorithm is based on a matrix product representation for quantum states (MPS) and a similar representation for Hamiltonians and other operators (MPO). It is significantly more efficient for systems of about 100 sites and more than for small quantum systems. We apply the formalism to calculate the ground state and the first excited state of a spin-1 Heisenberg ring and deduce the size of a Haldane gap. The results are compared to previous high-precision DMRG calculations. Furthermore, we study the spin-1 systems with a biquadratic nearest-neighbor interaction and show the first results of an application to a mesoscopic Hubbard ring of spinless fermions, which carries a persistent current. Key words: matrix product representation for quantum states (MPS) and Hamiltonians (MPO), spin-1 Heisenberg ring, density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). List Issues Configure
