by Michael L. Wall (Author) This thesis investigates ultracold molecules as a resource for novel quantum many-body physics, in particular by utilizing their rich internal structure and strong, long-range dipole-dipole interactions. In addition, numerical methods based on matrix product states are analyzed in detail, and general algorithms for investigating the static and dynamic properties of essentially arbitrary one-dimensional quantum many-body systems are put forth. Finally, this thesis covers open-source implementations of matrix product state algorithms, as well as educational material designed to aid in the use of understanding such methods. performed research for his thesis at the Colorado School of Mines, USA. He has since received the Nicholas Metropolis award for outstanding doctoral thesis work in computational physics and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at NIST NRC.
