Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The computer cluster has been used for the simulations of strongly correlated quantum systems with various numerical methods ranging from quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) algorithms to different variants of density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) implementations, including dynamic DMRG. Typical physical systems range from correlated ultracold gases in optical lattices to condensed matter models for one dimensional quantum wires and two dimensional antiferromagnets. The results contributed to several DFG projects, 6 diploma thesis, 7 Ph.D. thesis and 12 publications so far. Some highlights are: Detailed predictions for the density distribution in trapped fermion systems, demonstrating a crossover to a spin-incoherent Wigner crystal state as a function of density and interactions. - New predictions for the supersolid phase transitions and impurity effects in frustrated hard-core boson systems. - New results on transport and tunneling in inhomogeneous quantum wires, which demonstrate unconventional renormalization effects. - Method development for efficient dynamical simulations of quantum gases.
