Abstract: The time-dependent quantum Monte Carlo method represents a many-electron state by an ensemble of replicas, in which each electron is described by a cloud of walkers which samples its density in physical space, one walker and one guide wave per replica, and it replaces the Hartree potential by a conditional interaction built from the walker positions. The sampling is in physical space rather than in configuration space, which is what keeps the cost polynomial. Here that conditional interaction is derived rather than postulated. The method has so far been applied mostly to opposite-spin electrons, where the exchange is dormant rather than absent, and the present formulation addresses the regime in which it is active. Treating the walker as a localization of its electron to a finite resolution, Bayes theorem and a single empirical substitution yield the Nadaraya-Watson form which the method has used heuristically. The nonlocality length thereby acquires a meaning as the width of the conditioning rather than as a fitted coupling, and the pair and mean-field limits follow from one construction. For fermions, exchange cannot be carried by the walkers and stays in the wave sector, which is what leaves the positive walker sampling free of the sign problem. Because the conditioning removes the gauge freedom which eliminates the orthonormality multipliers in Hartree-Fock, orthonormality is enforced here by a term derived from the constraint. The formulation is generalized to spinors, where the Pauli suppression at coincidence becomes graded by the local spin alignment, and it reduces through the collinear and mean-field limits to the known two-particle spin equations.

Entanglement and localization in long-range quadratic Lindbladians [49.1574468325115]
Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

Quantum circuits for solving local fermion-to-qubit mappings [0.0]
Local Hamiltonians of fermionic systems on a lattice can be mapped onto local qubit Hamiltonians. Maintaining locality comes at the expense of increasing the Hilbert space with auxiliary degrees of freedom. We demonstrate how maintaining locality allows one to carry out a Trotterized time-evolution with constant circuit depth per time step.

Effective Theory for the Measurement-Induced Phase Transition of Dirac Fermions [0.0]
A wave function exposed to measurements undergoes pure state dynamics. For many-particle systems, the competition of these different elements of dynamics can give rise to a scenario similar to quantum phase transitions. A key finding is that this field theory decouples into one set of degrees of freedom that heats up indefinitely.

A finite length ferromagnetic chain with opposite spin polarisation imposed at its two ends is one of the simplest frustrated spin models. We have used the chain with antiparallel boundary spins to test a real flux qubit quantum annealer. We show how the effect we have discovered can be used to determine the strength of the effective random fields.
