The Sign Problem in Quantum Simulations

We are looking both at the correlations which arise in a generalization of the conventional Hubbard
Hamiltonian to having more internal degrees of freedom than the usual N=2 (spin up and psin down).
This SU(N) Hubbard model is relevant to a number of physical contexts, eg ultrcold Yb173 atoms on
an optical lattice.
