The efficiency of the scheme depends on the amount of the entanglement involved in the simulated evolution. Numerical analysis indicate that this method can be used, for instance, to efficiently compute time-dependent properties of low-energy dynamics of sufficiently regular but otherwise arbitrary one-dimensional quantum many-body systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-10-14T01:57:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "efficient simulation", "arbitrary one-dimensional quantum many-body systems", "quantum spin chains", "local interactions", "time evolution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
