Özet

The possibility to apply phase-space methods to many-body interacting systems might provide accurate descriptions of correlations with a reduced numerical cost. For instance, the so-called stochastic mean-field phase-space approach, where the complex dynamics of interacting fermions is replaced by a statistical average of mean-field like trajectories is able to grasp some correlations beyond the mean-field. We explore the possibility to use alternative equations of motion in the phase-space approach. Guided by the BBGKY hierarchy, equations of motion that already incorporate part of the correlations beyond mean-field are employed along each trajectory. The method is called hybrid phase-space because it mixes phase-space techniques and the time-dependent reduced density matrix approach. The novel approach is applied to the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model. We show that the predictive power is improved compared to the original stochastic mean-field method. In particular, in the weak-coupling regime, the results of the HPS theory can hardly be distinguished from the exact solution even for long time.
