Block entropy area based non-local fermionic mode optimization with gradient disentanglers

Miklós Antal Werner, Gero Friesecke, Andor Menczer +2 more

We introduce a systematic block entropy area based mode optimization algorithm for many-body quantum states of interacting fermions represented by matrix product states. From the gradient of a global cost function, the block entropy area, a long-ranged, non-interacting effective disentangler Hamiltonian is formed. We then simulate the time-dependent Schrödinger equation driven by the disentangler Hamiltonian by employing the time-dependent variational principle based on projector splitting, and minimize the cost function. The combination of the density matrix renormalization group with this gradient-based entanglement minimization forms an efficient low-rank iterative ground-state algorithm that also provides an optimized single-particle basis for matrix product state representation. We demonstrate the method on two-dimensional lattice models of interacting fermions and the Fe${_4}$S${_4}$ cluster, and show its robustness and superiority over earlier protocols using nearest-neighbor mode rotations and reorderings.

Time-Dependent Variational Principle for Nonequilibrium Density Matrix

Masakazu Ichiyanagi

A time-dependent variational principle is given for nonequilibrium density matrix of a quantum system. It allows a derivation of dynamical equations for thermodynamical forces which are the Lagrangian parameters of the present theory. If the system is near equilibrium, these equations determine the transport coefficients which satisfy the reciprocity relations. For the understanding of irreversibility, the introduction of the van Hove parameter turns out to be essential, which bases upon a distinct separation of microscopic and macroscopic scales in time.
