The walk-sum method for simulating quantum many-body systems

Abstract

We present the method of walk-sum to study the real-time dynamics of interacting quantum many-body systems. The walk-sum method generates explicit expressions for any desired pieces of an evolution operator U independently of any others. The computational cost for evaluating any such piece at a fixed order grows polynomially with the number of particles. Walk-sum is valid for systems presenting long-range interactions and in any geometry. We illustrate the method by means of two physical systems.
