Analysis of the Ill-Conditioning of the Discrete Inverse Laplace transform in Monte Carlo Simulations of Quantum Many-Body Systems

Phil-Alexander Hofmann, Thomas Chuna, Tobias Dornheim +1

Analytic continuation of imaginary-time quantum Monte Carlo data to real-frequency spectra requires the inversion of a severely ill-posed two-sided Laplace transform and arises nat…

Discovering a well-conditioned analytic continuation problem via dictionary learning

Thomas Chuna, Phil-Alexander Hofmann, Alexander Benedix-Robles +1

Many fields of physics use quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations to simulate quantum systems in imaginary-time and estimate imaginary-time correlation functions (ITCF). However…

Mermin's dielectric function and the f-sum rule

Thomas Chuna, Jan Vorberger, Thomas Gawne +2

Mermin's dielectric function [N.D. Mermin, Phys. Rev. B 1, 2362 (1970)] is widely assumed to satisfy the f-sum rule because he constrains his ansatz with the continuity equation. H…
