Summary✄ Generalised <strong>phase</strong>-<strong>space</strong> representations provide a means of simulating<strong>many</strong>-<strong>body</strong> <strong>quantum</strong> <strong>physics</strong> from first principles, <strong>with</strong> precision limited onlyby sampling error.✄ Coherent-state-based <strong>methods</strong> have been successful in simulating <strong>quantum</strong>dynamics of photons and weakly interacting ultracold gases.✄ Gaussian-based <strong>methods</strong> extend the applicability to highly correlated systemsof bosons and fermions.✄ Simulated the Hubbard model (fermions in a lattice) <strong>with</strong>out sign errors.<strong>Simulating</strong> <strong>many</strong>-<strong>body</strong> <strong>physics</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>quantum</strong> <strong>phase</strong>-<strong>space</strong> <strong>methods</strong> 45
