We developed lattice simulations for nonequilibrium quantum fields, enabling the study of quantum many-body systems. This method is vital for understanding heavy-ion collisions and other complex quantum phenomena.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Field Theory
  • Lattice Simulations
  • Nonequilibrium Physics

Background:

  • Studying quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium is challenging.
  • Real-time simulations are crucial for understanding phenomena like heavy-ion collisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel lattice simulation method for nonequilibrium quantum fields in Minkowski spacetime.
  • To compare quantum results with classical field theory for a self-interacting scalar field.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a stochastic process in an additional Langevin-time to construct a real-time quantum ensemble.
  • Performing lattice simulations in (3+1) dimensions for a nonthermal initial state.
  • Resolving unstable Langevin dynamics in simulations.
