The quadratic density response function for non-interacting fermions at arbitrary temperature

Pontus Svensson, Jan Vorberger, Zhandos A. Moldabekov +5

We develop and implement the quadratic density response function of non-interacting fermions at arbitrary temperature, frequencies, and wave vectors. Starting from a Green's functi…

Reconciling chemical models of X-ray Thomson Scattering with the Bethe -sum rule

Maximilian P. Böhme, Paul Hamann, Veronika A. Kruse +9

X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) is a key diagnostic for high-energy-density plasmas, which can exhibit significant quantum effects even at elevated temperatures. XRTS experiments a…

Reweighting Estimators for Density Response in Path Integral Monte Carlo: Applications to linear, nonlinear and cross-species density response

Pontus Svensson, Thomas Chuna, Jan Vorberger +5

We present density response estimators for Monte Carlo simulations that are based on a reweighting procedure, where the samples of an unperturbed system are used to estimate the pr…

Statistical theory of electronic degrees of freedom in wave packet molecular dynamics

Daniel Plummer, Pontus Svensson, Wiktor Jasniak +3

We derive statistical distributions for the degrees of freedom in wave packet molecular dynamics models. Specifically, a theory is developed for the width distributions of Gaussian…

Re-weighting estimator for ab initio path integral Monte Carlo simulations of fictitious identical particles

Tobias Dornheim, Pontus Svensson, Paul Hamann +4

The fermion sign problem constitutes one of the most fundamental obstacles in quantum many-body theory. Recently, it has been suggested to circumvent the sign problem by carrying o…

Modelling of warm dense hydrogen via explicit real time electron dynamics: Electron transport properties

Pontus Svensson, Patrick Hollebon, Daniel Plummer +2

We extract electron transport properties from atomistic simulations of a two-component plasma, by mapping the long-wavelength behaviour to a two-fluid model. The mapping procedure…
