Time-dependent variational principle for quantum lattices.
We develop a new algorithm based on the time-dependent variational principle applied to matrix product states to efficiently simulate the real- and imaginary-time dynamics for infinite one-dimensional quantum lattices. This procedure (i) is argued to be optimal, (ii) does not rely on the Trotter decomposition and thus has no Trotter error, (iii) preserves all symmetries and conservation laws, a...
متن کاملGyarmati's Variational Principle of Dissipative Processes
Like mechanics and electrodynamics, the fundamental laws of the thermodynamics of dissipative processes can be compressed into a variational principle. This variational principle both in its differential (local) and in integral (global) forms was formulated by Gyarmati helped by the present author in 1965. This principle was applied to several fields of irreversible processes: first of all, his...
متن کاملThe Second Entropy: A Variational Principle for Time-dependent Systems
The fundamental optimization principle for non-equilibrium thermodynamics is given. The second entropy is introduced as the quantity that is maximised to determine the optimum state of a non-equilibrium system. In contrast, the principles of maximum or minimum dissipation, which have previously been proposed by Onsager, Prigogine, and others as the variational principle for such systems, are sh...
متن کاملProblem-free time-dependent variational principle for open quantum systems.
Methods of quantum nuclear wave-function dynamics have become very efficient in simulating large isolated systems using the time-dependent variational principle (TDVP). However, a straightforward extension of the TDVP to the density matrix framework gives rise to methods that do not conserve the energy in the isolated system limit and the total system population for open systems where only ener...
متن کاملVariational principle for nonlinear wave propagation in dissipative systems.
The dynamics of many natural systems is dominated by nonlinear waves propagating through the medium. We show that in any extended system that supports nonlinear wave fronts with positive surface tension, the asymptotic wave-front dynamics can be formulated as a gradient system, even when the underlying evolution equations for the field variables cannot be written as a gradient system. The varia...
