Recent developments in quantum Monte Carlo simulations with applications for cold gases

Lode Pollet

This is a review of recent developments in Monte Carlo methods in the field of ultracold gases. For bosonic atoms in an optical lattice we discuss path-integral Monte Carlo simulations with worm updates and show the excellent agreement with cold atom experiments. We also review recent progress in simulating bosonic systems with long-range interactions, disordered bosons, mixtures of bosons and spinful bosonic systems. For repulsive fermionic systems, determinantal methods at half filling are sign free, but in general no sign-free method exists. We review the developments in diagrammatic Monte Carlo for the Fermi polaron problem and the Hubbard model, and show the connection with dynamical mean-field theory. We end the review with diffusion Monte Carlo for the Stoner problem in cold gases.

Quantum many-body theory for electron spin decoherence in nanoscale nuclear spin baths

Wen Yang, Wen-Long Ma, Ren-Bao Liu

Decoherence of electron spins in nanoscale systems is important to quantum technologies such as quantum information processing and magnetometry. It is also an ideal model problem for studying the crossover between quantum and classical phenomena. At low temperatures or in light-element materials where the spin-orbit coupling is weak, the phonon scattering in nanostructures is less important and the fluctuations of nuclear spins become the dominant decoherence mechanism for electron spins. Since the 1950s, semi-classical noise theories have been developed for understanding electron spin decoherence. In spin-based solid-state quantum technologies, the relevant systems are in the nanometer scale and nuclear spin baths are quantum objects which require a quantum description. Recently, quantum pictures have been established to understand the decoherence and quantum many-body theories have been developed to quantitatively describe this phenomenon. Anomalous quantum effects have been predicted and some have been experimentally confirmed. A systematically truncated cluster-correlation expansion theory has been developed to account for the many-body correlations in nanoscale nuclear spin baths that are built up during electron spin decoherence. The theory has successfully predicted and explained a number of experimental results in a wide range of physical systems. In this review, we will cover this recent progress. The limitations of the present quantum many-body theories and possible directions for future development will also be discussed.

Dissipative linear response theory and its appications in open quantum systems

Yu Chen

With the recent development of experimental technology, the ability to control the dissipation in quantum many-body system is greatly enhanced. Meanwhile, many new breakthroughs are achieved in detecting the quantum states and others. All these advances make it necessary to establish a new theory for calculating the dissipative dynamics in strongly correlated sstems. Very recently, we found that by taking the interactions between the system and the bath as a perturbation, a systematic dissipative response theory can be established. In this new approach, the calculation of dissipative dynamics for any physical observables and the entropies can be converted into the calculation of certain correlation functions in initial states. Then we discuss how Markovian approximation at low temperature limit and at high temperature limit can be reached Also, we review the progress of the dissipative dynamics in open Bose-Hubbard model. In the fourth section, we review recent progress of entropy dynamics of quench dynamics of an open quantum system. Finally, we draw a conclusion and discuss possible development in the future.
