We present a framework for stochastic simulations of bosonic systems with long-range interactions. Our methods extend simulation times by optimizing stochastic gauges, proving effective for large quantum systems.
Area of Science:
- Quantum mechanics
- Computational physics
- Many-body systems
Background:
- Stochastic simulations (positive-P and gauge-P) enable quantum system analysis without Hilbert space truncation.
- A key limitation is simulation time, restricted by interaction-induced noise.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a framework for stochastic simulations of bosonic systems with long-range interactions.
- To investigate methods for extending simulation times in these systems.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing stochastic positive-P and gauge-P simulations.
- Analyzing the impact of long-range interactions on simulation time limitations.
- Developing and applying optimized stochastic gauges (drift and diffusion).
Main Results:
- Long-range interactions do not inherently limit stochastic simulation times more than short-range ones.
- Stochastic gauge techniques effectively extend simulation times without altering physical observables.
- Drift gauges are optimal for small to medium systems, while diffusion gauges are best for large systems.
Conclusions:
- The developed framework provides essential tools for stochastic simulations of bosonic systems with long-range interactions.
- Optimized stochastic gauges significantly enhance the accessible simulation time, crucial for studying quantum dynamics.
