摘要:

格点规范理论的蒙特卡罗模拟研究受到在某些情况下,特别是在非零化学势下出现的臭名昭著的符号问题的阻碍。到目前为止,还没有通用的方法来克服这个问题。然而,近年来出现了一类新的非微扰哈密顿技术,称为张量网络,其中没有符号问题。在以前的工作中,我们已经证明,这种方法,特别是在1+1维矩阵乘积态,可以用来执行精确的计算在格点规范理论,无质量和大量的Schwinger模型。我们已经计算了这个理论的质谱,它的热性质和实时动力学。在这项工作中,我们回顾这些结果,我们扩展我们的计算的情况下,两种口味和非零化学势。我们能够可靠地再现已知的分析结果,这个模型,从而表明,张量网络可以解决的格点规范理论在有限密度的符号问题。

英文摘要:

The study of lattice gauge theories with Monte Carlo simulations is hindered by the infamous sign problem that appears under certain circumstances, in particular at non-zero chemical potential. So far, there is no universal method to overcome this problem. However, recent years brought a new class of non-perturbative Hamiltonian techniques named tensor networks, where the sign problem is absent. In previous work, we have demonstrated that this approach, in particular matrix product states in 1+1 dimensions, can be used to perform precise calculations in a lattice gauge theory, the massless and massive Schwinger model. We have computed the mass spectrum of this theory, its thermal properties and real-time dynamics. In this work, we review these results and we extend our calculations to the case of two flavours and non-zero chemical potential. We are able to reliably reproduce known analytical results for this model, thus demonstrating that tensor networks can tackle the sign problem of a lattice gauge theory at finite density.
