Abstract

During the last 20 years, we have seen a tremendous development in the computational power of our devices. We have by now laptops and phones that are more powerful than the high-profile workstations of a few generations ago. This computational power has already severely impacted our lives and many scientific fields as well, with examples ranging from AI to biophysics. On the other hand, a large class of problems in the study of quantum many-body systems has benefited only marginally from these developments.In the talk, I will review this class of problems, emphasizing the conceptual reason behind the limited impact that traditional computational methods have brought. I will then move on to describe the most promising candidates (in my opinion) to overcome the current situation.
