Auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo method for strongly paired fermions

Journal Article Carlson, J. ; Gandolfi, Stefano ; Schmidt, Kevin E. ; ... - Physical Review. A

We solve the zero-temperature unitary Fermi gas problem by incorporating a BCS importance function into the auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo method. We demonstrate that this method does not suffer from a sign problem and that it increases the efficiency of standard techniques by many orders of magnitude for strongly paired fermions. We calculate the ground-state energies exactly for unpolarized systems with up to 66 particles on lattices of up to 27{sup 3} sites, obtaining an accurate result for the universal parameter {xi}. We also obtain results for interactions with different effective ranges and find that the energy is consistent withmore »« less

Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of Strongly-Correlated Molecules and Solids

Technical Report Chang, C. ; Morales, M. A.

We propose a method of implementing projected wave functions for second-quantized auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) techniques. The method is based on expressing the two-body projector as one-body terms coupled to binary Ising fields. To benchmark the method, we choose to study the two-dimensional (2D) one-band Hubbard model with repulsive interactions using the constrained-path MC (CPMC). The CPMC uses a trial wave function to guide the random walks so that the so-called fermion sign problem can be eliminated. The trial wave function also serves as the importance function in Monte Carlo sampling. As such, the quality of the trial wavemore »« less

Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of Strongly-Correlated Systems, the Final Report

Technical Report Chang, C.

In this final report, we present preliminary results of ground state phases of interacting spinless Dirac fermions. The name "Dirac fermion" originates from the fact that low-energy excitations of electrons hopping on the honeycomb lattice are described by a relativistic Dirac equation. Dirac fermions have received much attention particularly after the seminal work of Haldale1 which shows that the quantum Hall physics can be realized on the honeycomb lattice without magnetic fields. Haldane's work later becomes the foundation of topological insulators (TIs). While the physics of TIs is based largely on spin-orbit coupled non-interacting electrons, it was conjectured that topologicalmore »« less

Auxiliary-field Monte Carlo methods for interacting fermions: Application to the nuclear shell model

Miscellaneous Lang, G H.W.

This thesis presents the path-integral formulation of the nuclear shell model using the Hubbard-Stratonvich transformation, which linearizes the two-body interaction by auxiliary fields. The path-integral was evaluated via Monte Carlo. The method scales favorably with valence-nucleon number and shell-model basis: full-basis calculations can be done up to the rare-earth region, which cannot be treated by other methods. Observables are calculated for the ground state and in a thermal ensemble. Dynamical correlations are obtained, from which strength functions are extracted through the Maximum Entropy method. Examples in the s-d shell, where exact diagonalization can be carried out, compare well with exactmore »« less
Local Embedding and Effective Downfolding in the Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo Method

Journal Article Eskridge, Brandon ; Krakauer, Henry ; Zhang, Shiwei - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

A local embedding and effective downfolding scheme has been developed and implemented in the auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) method. A local cluster in which electrons are fully correlated is defined, and the frozen orbital method is used on the remainder of the system to construct an effective Hamiltonian, which operates within the local cluster. Local embedding, which involves only the occupied sector, has previously been employed in the context of Co/graphene. Here, the methodology is extended in order to allow for effective downfolding of the virtual sector, thus allowing for significant reduction in the computational effort required for AFQMCmore »« less
