}In this work, we discuss a new method for calculation of extremal eigenvectors and eigenvalues in systems or regions of parameter space where direct calculation is problematic. This technique relies on the analytic continuation of the power series expansion for the eigenvector around a point in the complex plane. We start this document by introducing the background material relevant to understand the basics of quantum mechanics and quantum field theories on the lattice, how we perform our…

Nuclear Binding Near a Quantum Phase Transition.
- PhysicsPhysical review letters

Numerical evidence from ab initio lattice simulations shows that nature is near a quantum phase transition, a zero-temperature transition driven by quantum fluctuations, and it is shown that the alpha-alpha interactions depend on the strength and locality of the nucleon-nucleon interactions.
New approach to the sign problem in quantum field theories: High density QCD on a Lefschetz thimble
- Computer Science

A new approach to the sign problem is introduced, that seems to offer much room for improvements, and is illustrated first in the simple case of a scalar field theory with chemical potential, and then extended to the more challenging case of QCD at finite baryonic density.
