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.
