Abstract

Strongly interacting quantum systems driven out of equilibrium represent a fascinating field where several questions of fundamental importance remains to be addressed [1].

These range from the dynamics of high-dimensional interacting models to the thermalization properties of quantum gases in continuous space.

In this Seminar I will review our recent contributions to some of the dynamical quantum problems which have been traditionally inaccessible to accurate many-body techniques.

 

I will first focus on the main methodological developments we devised in the past years.

In particular, I will describe the time-dependent Variational Monte Carlo method [2,3] and two notable classes of variational quantum states : the time-dependent Jastrow-Feenberg expansion, and the most recently introduced Neural-network Quantum States [4]. These states can achieve high (and controllable) accuracy both in one and higher dimensions.

Then, I will discuss specific applications to the problem of information spreading in both short- and long-ranged interacting quantum systems [3,5]. Finally, I will also discuss recent applications to thermalization properties of Lieb-Liniger quantum gases [6].
