UMass professors Boris Svistunov and Nikolai Prokof'ev and alumni of their group have solved an intractable 50-year-old problem: how to simulate strongly interacting fermionic quantum systems for accurate predictions of their properties. The proposed method is based on sampling the series of Feynman diagrams by Monte Carlo technique. Their results, and an experimental verification, are published in Nature Physics. ...more
