Briefings
A new method using Density Matrix Truncation (DMT) successfully predicts high-temperature transport coefficients in up to three dimensions by preserving geometric locality in a one-dimensional matrix product state ansatz. This approach resolves the classical intractability of extracting late-time hydrodynamic properties from microscopic quantum models in higher dimensions.
Key points
- The study extends the Density Matrix Truncation (DMT) algorithm to quantitatively predict diffusion constants in three dimensions.
- The method captures slow crossover dynamics characteristic of weakly broken integrability systems.
Context
This research addresses a fundamental challenge in quantum many-body physics where high-dimensional entanglement and geometric-tensor network locality mismatches prevent direct calculation of late-time transport properties. The work provides a benchmark for quantum simulators and extends classical computability in high-dimensional systems.
Limitations
The study is limited to three dimensions and focuses on high-temperature transport coefficients. It does not provide data on lower dimensions or specific low-temperature regimes. The results are based on a preprint and remain subject to verification.
