  • continuous matrix product operator approach to finite temperature quantum states
    Physical Review Letters, 2020
    Co-Authors: Wei Tang, Lei Wang
    Abstract:

    We present an algorithm for studying quantum systems at finite temperature using continuous matrix product operator representation. The approach handles both short-range and long-range interactions in the thermodynamic limit without incurring any time discretization error. Moreover, the approach provides direct access to physical observables including the specific heat, local susceptibility, and local spectral functions. After verifying the method using the prototypical quantum XXZ chains, we apply it to quantum Ising models with power-law decaying interactions and on the Infinite Cylinder, respectively. The approach offers predictions that are relevant to experiments in quantum simulators and the nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation rate.

  • finite element approximation of the parabolic fractional obstacle problem
    SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2016
    Co-Authors: Enrique Otárola, Abner J Salgado
    Abstract:

    We study a discretization technique for the parabolic fractional obstacle problem in bounded domains. The fractional Laplacian is realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a nonuniformly elliptic equation posed on a semi-Infinite Cylinder, which recasts our problem as a quasi-stationary elliptic variational inequality with a dynamic boundary condition. The rapid decay of the solution suggests a truncation that is suitable for numerical approximation. We discretize the truncation with a backward Euler scheme in time, and, for space, we use first-degree tensor product finite elements. We present an error analysis based on different smoothness assumptions.

  • a pde approach to space time fractional parabolic problems
    SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2016
    Co-Authors: Ricardo H Nochetto, Enrique Otárola, Abner J Salgado
    Abstract:

    We study solution techniques for parabolic equations with fractional diffusion and Caputo fractional time derivative, the latter being discretized and analyzed in a general Hilbert space setting. The spatial fractional diffusion is realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a nonuniformly elliptic problem posed on a semi-Infinite Cylinder in one more spatial dimension. We write our evolution problem as a quasi-stationary elliptic problem with a dynamic boundary condition. We propose and analyze an implicit fully discrete scheme: first-degree tensor product finite elements in space and an implicit finite difference discretization in time. We prove stability and error estimates for this scheme.

  • a pde approach to fractional diffusion in general domains a priori error analysis
    Foundations of Computational Mathematics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Ricardo H Nochetto, Enrique Otárola, Abner J Salgado
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this work is to study solution techniques for problems involving fractional powers of symmetric coercive elliptic operators in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. These operators can be realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a degenerate/singular elliptic problem posed on a semi-Infinite Cylinder, which we analyze in the framework of weighted Sobolev spaces. Motivated by the rapid decay of the solution to this problem, we propose a truncation that is suitable for numerical approximation. We discretize this truncation using first degree tensor product finite elements. We derive a priori error estimates in weighted Sobolev spaces. The estimates exhibit optimal regularity but suboptimal order for quasi-uniform meshes. For anisotropic meshes instead, they are quasi-optimal in both order and regularity. We present numerical experiments to illustrate the method's performance.

  • topological characterization of fractional quantum hall ground states from microscopic hamiltonians
    Physical Review Letters, 2013
    Co-Authors: Michael P Zaletel, Roger S K Mong, Frank Pollmann
    Abstract:

    We show how to numerically calculate several quantities that characterize topological order starting from a microscopic fractional quantum Hall Hamiltonian. To find the set of degenerate ground states, we employ the Infinite density matrix renormalization group method based on the matrix-product state representation of fractional quantum Hall states on an Infinite Cylinder. To study localized quasiparticles of a chosen topological charge, we use pairs of degenerate ground states as boundary conditions for the Infinite density matrix renormalization group. We then show that the wave function obtained on the Infinite Cylinder geometry can be adapted to a torus of arbitrary modular parameter, which allows us to explicitly calculate the non-Abelian Berry connection associated with the modular T transformation. As a result, the quantum dimensions, topological spins, quasiparticle charges, chiral central charge, and Hall viscosity of the phase can be obtained using data contained entirely in the entanglement spectrum of an Infinite Cylinder.
