Contour deformations for non-holomorphic actions

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2024-01-31 v1

Abstract

We show how contour deformations may be used to control the sign problem of lattice Monte Carlo calculations with non-holomorphic actions. Such actions arise naturally in quantum mechanical scattering problems. The approach is demonstrated in conjunction with the holomorphic gradient flow. As our central example we compute the real-time evolution of a particle in a one-dimensional analog of the Yukawa potential.
