Real Frequency Boost: Simplifying Many-Body Theory

You're trying to understand how particles interact in a complex system. This is what many-body theory deals with, and it's tough! The problem is, these interactions involve lots of different frequencies, which can clog up your computer's memory. Scientists often use a method called numerical renormalization group (NRG) to handle this. But NRG data can be tricky to work with on its own. Here's where the intermediate representation (IR) comes in. IR helps to simplify the data by compressing it into a more manageable form. This is really useful when you're looking at how particles interact in two-point or three-point scenarios. These scenarios are like maps showing how particles move and interact. By using IR, scientists can make these maps easier to understand and work with, even on the real frequency axis. This means they can see more clearly how particles are behaving. They've found that using IR, the errors in their data are limited, making it a reliable method. So, IR is like a translation tool that turns complex data into something simpler and more useful. It's a big step forward in many-body theory, helping scientists unravel the mysteries of particle interactions.
