Neural-Network Simulation of Strongly Correlated Quantum Systems

by Stefanie Czischek ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
Quantum systems with many degrees of freedom are inherently difficult to describe and simulate quantitatively. The space of possible states is, in general, exponentially large in the number of degrees of freedom such as the number of particles it contains. Standard digital high-performance computing is generally too weak to capture all the necessary details, such that alternative quantum ... Read more
