Motivated by the current high interest in the field of warm dense matter research, in this
article we review the uniform electron gas (UEG) at finite temperature and over a broad …

Energy functionals serve as the basis for different models and methods in quantum and
classical many-particle physics. Arguably, one of the most successful and widely used …

Matter at extreme temperatures and pressures—commonly known as warm dense matter
(WDM)—is ubiquitous throughout our Universe and occurs in astrophysical objects such as …

Warm dense matter (WDM)—an exotic state of highly compressed matter—has attracted
increased interest in recent years in astrophysics and for dense laboratory systems. At the …

This chapter gives an introduction to interacting many-body systems. Interaction effects give
rise to collective behavior, dominated by mean field effects, as well as to correlations. We …

In a recent Letter [T. Dornheim et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 156403 (2016) PRLTAO 0031-
9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett. 117.156403], we presented the first quantum Monte Carlo …

The accurate description of electrons at extreme density and temperature is of paramount
importance for, eg, the understanding of astrophysical objects and inertial confinement …

We perform ab initio quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations of the warm dense uniform
electron gas in the thermodynamic limit. By combining QMC data with the linear response …

Quantum hydrodynamics (QHD) theory for finite temperature plasmas is consistently derived
in the framework of the local density approximation of the free energy with first order density …

We present extensive new ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) results for a variety of
structural properties of warm dense hydrogen and beryllium. To deal with the fermion sign …
