Seminar, Hosted by Collège de France
Ushering a New Era of Synergy Between Computational Quantum Physics and Cold Atoms Experiment
Flatiron Institute, New York
Abstract
Shiwei Zhang examines how improved numerical methods and cold-atom experiments can jointly resolve difficult problems in quantum matter. The seminar reviews advances in auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo and discusses comparisons with experiments. Examples include the crossover between BCS pairing and Bose–Einstein condensation, Hubbard-model physics and possible FFLO pairing in optical lattices.
