Density-Matrix Renormalization - A New Numerical Method in Physics Lectures of a Seminar and Workshop held at the Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme, Dresden, Germany, August 24th to September 18th, 1998
This book offers the first comprehensive account of the new method of density matrix renormalization. Recent years have seen enormous progress in the numerical treatment of low-dimensional quantum sytems. With this new technique, which selects a reduced set of basis states via density matrices, it h...
