Quantum Simulation of Strongly-Correlated Systems
A major challenge in theoretical physics is to develop novel methods without systematic errors. The scope of this proposal is the numerical control over strongly correlated phases in the thermodynamic limit through two main developments: First, for bosonic systems, we aim to obtain reliable phase diagrams for optical flux lattices, combining topology with interactions. In particular, we study the competition between superfluid order and (fractional) Chern insulators, which may harbor (non-)abelian anyonic excitations. This is achieved by a major improvement on our current selfenergy-based cluster methods through non-local interactions, vertex corrections and momentum cluster extensions.…
