Physicists Simulate Strongly Correlated Fermions<http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120318143936.htm>
ScienceDaily (Mar. 18, 2012) — Combining known factors in a new way, theoretical physicists Boris Svistunov and Nikolai Prokof'ev at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with three alumni of their group, have solved an intractable 50-year-old problem: How to simulate strongly interacting quantum systems to allow accurate predictions of their properties. It could open the door to practical superconductor applications, as well as to solving difficult "many-body" problems in high-energy physics, condensed matter and ultra-cold atoms.
