Quantum dynamics with stochastic gauge simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
The general idea of a stochastic gauge representation is introduced and compared with more traditional phase-space expansions, like the Wigner expansion. Stochastic gauges can be used to obtain an infinite class of positive-definite stochastic time-evolution equations, equivalent to master equations, for many systems including quantum time evolution. The method is illustrated with a variety of simple examples ranging from astrophysical molecular hydrogen production, through to the topical problem of Bose–Einstein condensation in an optical trap and the resulting quantum dynamics.

Stochastic Gauge: a New Technique for Quantum Simulations
In this paper, we will review progress toward the direct simulation of quantum dynamics in many-body systems. This is a central problem in modern theoretical physics, sometimes claimed to be inherently insoluble on digital computers, due to complexity issues. In particular, we will evaluate progress and results using stochastic gauge methods on currently available digital computers. This is a t...
متن کاملReal-time gauge theory simulations from stochastic quantization with optimized updating
We investigate simulations for gauge theories on a Minkowskian space-time lattice. We employ stochastic quantization with optimized updating using stochastic reweighting or gauge fixing, respectively. These procedures do not affect the underlying theory but strongly improve the stability properties of the stochastic dynamics, such that simulations on larger real-time lattices can be performed. ...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics for Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics
During the last years, immense progress has been achieved in the stochastic treatment of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) on the lattice. Algorithms based on a molecular dynamics like treatment of gauge and quark elds have opened the door to exact ab-initio simulations. The Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm, the most prominent representative of full QCD algorithms, is the favorite scheme to includ...
متن کاملFirst-principles quantum dynamics in interacting Bose gases II: stochastic gauges
First principles simulations of the quantum dynamics of interacting Bose gases using the stochastic gauge representation are analysed. In a companion paper, we showed how the positive-P representation can be applied to these problems using stochastic differential equations. That method, however, is limited by increased sampling error as time evolves. Here, we show how the sampling error can be ...
متن کاملNonequilibrium quantum fields from first principles
Calculations of nonequilibrium processes become more and more possible in quantum field theory from first principles. There has been important progress in our analytical understanding based on 2PI generating functionals. In addition, for the first time direct lattice simulations based on stochastic quantization techniques have been achieved. The quantitative descriptions of characteristic far-f...
