Title: Highly Frustrated Spin-Lattice Models of Magnetism and Their Quantum Phase Transitions: A Microscopic Treatment via the Coupled Cluster Method
Abstract: The coupled cluster method1) (CCM) is one of the most pervasive, most powerful, and most successful of all ab initio formulations of quantum many-body theory. It has probably been applied to more systems in quantum field theory, quantum chemistry, nuclear, subnuclear, condensed matter and other areas of physics than any other competing method. The CCM has yielded numerical results which are among the most accurate available for an incredibly wide range of both finite and extended physical systems defined on a spatial continuum. These range from atoms and molecules of interest in quantum chemistry, where the method has long been the recognized “gold standard”, to atomic nuclei; from the electron gas to dense nuclear and baryonic matter; and from models in quantum optics, quantum electronics, and solid-state optoelectronics to field theories of strongly interacting nucleons and pions.
This widespread success for both finite and extended physical systems defined on a spatial continuum2) has led to recent applications to corresponding quantum-mechanical systems defined on an extended regular spatial lattice. Such lattice systems are nowadays the subject of intense theoretical study. They include many examples of systems characterised by novel ground states which display quantum order in some region of the Hamiltonian parameter space, delimited by critical values which mark the corresponding quantum phase transitions. The quantum critical phenomena often differ profoundly from their classical counterparts, and the subtle correlations present usually cannot easily be treated by standard many-body techniques (e.g., perturbation theory or mean-field approximations). A key challenge for modern quantum many-body theory has been to develop microscopic techniques capable of handling both these novel and more traditional systems. Our recent work shows that the CCM is capable of bridging this divide. We have shown how the systematic inclusion of multispin correlations for a wide variety of quantum spin-lattice problems can be efficiently implemented with the CCM3). The method is not restricted to bipartite lattices or to non-frustrated systems, and can thus deal with problems where most alternative techniques, e.g., exact diagonalisation of small lattices or quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations, are faced with specific difficulties.
In this talk I describe our recent work that has applied the CCM to strongly interacting and highly frustrated spin-lattice models of interest in quantum magnetism, especially in two spatial dimensions. I show how the CCM may readily be implemented to high orders in systematically improvable hierarchies of approximations, e.g., in a localised lattice-animal-based subsystem (LSUBm) scheme, by the use of computer-algebraic techniques. Values for ground-state (and excited-state) properties are obtained which are fully competitive with those from other state-of-the-art methods, including the much more computationally intensive QMC techniques in the relatively rare (unfrustrated) cases where the latter can be readily applied. I describe the method itself, and illustrate its ability to give accurate descriptions of the ground-state phase diagrams of a wide variety of frustrated magnetic systems via a number of topical examples of its high-order implementations, from among a very large corpus of results for spin lattices. The raw LSUBm results are themselves generally excellent. I show explicitly both how they converge rapidly and can also be accurately extrapolated in the truncation index, m → ∞, to the exact limit.

Title: Counting particles in microscopic systems
Abstract: Simple observables such as the number of particles might be difficult to descrybe when a quantum composite system encounters a violent perturbation, for instance in collisions of atomic nuclei. It requires a predictive many-body theory to describe the time evolution of the system accounting for indiscernibility of identical particles. Our goal is rather simple: predicting the probability for a number of transferred particles in such a collision. To keep the amount of work for the physicist and his/her computer to a reasonable level, approximations are considered rather than solving the full Schrödinger equation. The Balian-Veneroni variational principle provides a useful theoretical framework to build dynamical microscopic models. To solve this variational principle, one has to choose one particular type of observable of interest. For expectation values of one-body operators, like the average number of transferred particles, this leads to the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. For their fluctuations, the Balian-Vénéroni variational principle leads to an equation equivalent to the time-dependent Random Phase Approximation. Examples of applications will be taken within the nuclear physics context.

Title: First-principles interpretation of attosecond time-resolved XUV absorption spectroscopy of laser excited Silicon
Abstract: The availability of ultrafast x-ray pulses both from powerfulfree electron laser light-sources as well as table top high-harmonicgeneration, has significantly enhanced the utility of core-levelspectroscopies as probes for investigating dynamical processes infunctional materials. Theoretical approaches to complement these time-domain experiments are therefore actively being developed. In this context, I will discuss recent efforts that employ a combination of real-time time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), occupancy-constrained density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory approaches to help interpret spectral signatures in attosecond time-resolved core-level spectroscopic measurements on laser-excited silicon. Out-of-equilibrium electron-hole densities obtained from real-time TDDFT simulations of the valence electron dynamics are used to estimate the transient modulation of L-edge absorption in femtosecond infrared pump – attosecond XUV probe experiments. Furthermore, the contribution of electron-phonon and electron-electron scattering mechanisms to the lifetime broadening observed in measured L-edge spectra is estimated using occupation-constrained density functional theory and GW calculations respectively.
