Abstract: (APS)
Recently, a method based on stochastic integration on the surfaces of steepest descent of the action was introduced to tackle the sign problem in quantum-field theories. We show how this method can be used in many-body theories to perform fully nonperturbative calculations of quantum corrections about mean-field solutions. We discuss an explicit algorithm for implementing our method, and present results for the repulsive Hubbard model away from half-filling at intermediate temperatures. Our results are consistent with those from other state-of-the-art calculations.
