624. WE-Heraeus-Seminar: Simulating Quantum Rrocesses and Devices

Scientific background
Across communities as diverse as quantum optics / quantum information, solid-state physics, statistical physics and chemical physics, to name few, a wealth of novel numerical techniques for quantum dynamics have arisen in recent years. Each discipline has developed tools to tackle formidable problems arising from the propagation of complex interacting systems, among which we focus on

Quantum Monte Carlo
Stochastic equivalents of open quantum systems
Tensor Network Methods
Numerical Renormalization Group / Density Matrix Renormalization Group
Time-dependent multiconfiguration wave function methods
Non-equilibrium Greens functions / transport
Semiclassical Methods
The contact between these different activities has been somewhat loose and informal so far: With this seminar we aim to stimulate interaction between communities, foster the interrelations and potential synergies between the different approaches, and to establish and strengthen contact and collaboration between the participants.
