Improving Quantum Algorithms for Quantum Chemistry
M. B. Hastings, D. Wecker, B. Bauer +1
We present several improvements to the standard Trotter-Suzuki based algorithms used in the simulation of quantum chemistry on a quantum computer. First, we modify how Jordan-Wigne…
Chiral spin liquid and emergent anyons in a Kagome lattice Mott insulator
B. Bauer, L. Cincio, B. P. Keller +4
Topological phases in frustrated quantum spin systems have fascinated researchers for decades. One of the earliest proposals for such a phase was the chiral spin liquid put forward…
Distinguishing Phases with Ansatz Wavefunctions
B. Bauer, V. W. Scarola, M. Troyer +1
We propose an indistinguishability measure for assessment of ansatz wavefunctions with numerically determined wavefunctions. The measure efficiently compares all correlation functi…
Implementing global Abelian symmetries in projected entangled-pair state algorithms
B. Bauer, P. Corboz, R. Orus +1
Due to the unfavorable scaling of tensor network methods with the refinement parameter M, new approaches are necessary to improve the efficiency of numerical simulations based on s…
Identifying Quantum Topological Phases Through Statistical Correlation
Hao Wang, B. Bauer, M. Troyer +1
We theoretically examine the use of a statistical distance measure, the indistinguishability, as a generic tool for the identification of topological order. We apply this measure t…
The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons
S. A. Stern, F. Bagenal, K. Ennico +148
The Pluto system was recently explored by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, making closest approach on 14 July 2015. Pluto's surface displays diverse landforms, terrain ages, albedos…
Semion wave function and energetics in a chiral spin liquid on the Kagome lattice
L. Cincio, G. Vidal, B. Bauer
Recent years have seen the discovery of a chiral spin liquid state - a bosonic analogue of a fractional Quantum Hall state first put forward by Kalmeyer and Laughlin in 1987 - in s…
The ALPS project release 2.0: Open source software for strongly correlated systems
B. Bauer, L. D. Carr, H. G. Evertz +29
We present release 2.0 of the ALPS (Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations) project, an open source software project to develop libraries and application programs for the…
Multigrid Algorithms for Tensor Network States
M. Dolfi, B. Bauer, M. Troyer +1
The widely used density matrix renormalization group (DRMG) method often fails to converge in systems with multiple length scales, such as lattice discretizations of continuum mode…
