Abstract

We consider the dynamics tτtt\mapsto\tau_t of an infinite quantum lattice system that is generated by a local interaction. If the interaction decomposes into a finite number of terms that are themselves local interactions, we show that τt\tau_t can be efficiently approximated by a product of nn automorphisms, each of them being an alternating product generated by the individual terms. For any integer mm, we construct a product formula (in the spirit of Trotter) such that the approximation error scales as nmn^{-m}. Our bounds hold in norm, pointwise for algebra elements that are sufficiently well approximated by finite volume observables.
