Seminars

On an irregular basis various Special Seminars take place at the MPQ. The seminars are organized by scientists of our divisions, administration or staff representatives. The location will be announced with the event.

Variational Energy Minimization for Continuous Matrix Product States (Dr. M. Ganahl)

Date: Mar 3, 2017
Time: 09:05 AM - 10:00 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Martin Ganahl
Perimter Institute for Theoretical Physics Waterloo, Canada
Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
Host: MPQ & Max Planck Harvard Center

The generalization of Matrix Product States (MPS) to continuous systems, as proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 190405(2010), provides a powerful variational ansatz for the ground state of strongly interacting quantum field theories in one spatial dimension. [more]
