The density matrix comes whenever your system is part of a bigger system and interacts with it. By assuming that the isospin- and momentum-dependent MDI interaction has a form similar to the Gogny-like effective two-body interaction with a Yukawa finite-range term and the momentum dependence only originates from the finite-range exchange interaction, we determine its parameters by comparing the predicted potential energy density functional in uniform nuclear matter with what has … We demonstrate that moving to the interaction picture provides substantial benefits when applying DMQMC to interacting fermions. Another two-state quantum system that can be analyzed in the same way is the polarization state of a beam of light, the basis states being polarization in the x-direction and polarization in the y-direction, for a beam traveling parallel to the z- axis. Rev. The theory is fundamentally nonperturbative and thus captures not only the effects of correlated electronic systems but accounts also for strong interactions between matter and photon degrees of freedom.
