Abstract

We develop the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) technique for numerically studying incompressible fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states on the sphere. We calculate accurate estimates for ground-state energies and excitation gaps at FQH filling fractions nu=1/3 and nu=5/2 for systems that are considerably larger than the largest ever studied by exact diagonalization. We establish, by carefully comparing with existing numerical results on smaller systems, that DMRG is a highly effective numerical tool for studying incompressible FQH states.

Fractional quantum Hall states at 1 3 and 5 2 filling: Density-matrix renormalization group calculations

Jize Zhao, D. N. Sheng, F. D. M. Haldane

In this paper, the density-matrix renormalization group method is employed to investigate the fractional quantum Hall effect at filling fractions $\ensuremath{\nu}=1/3$ and $5/2$. We first present benchmark results at both filling fractions for large system sizes to show the accuracy as well as the capability of the numerical algorithm. Furthermore, we show that by keeping a large number of basis states, one can also obtain an accurate entanglement spectrum at $\ensuremath{\nu}=5/2$ for large systems with electron numbers up to ${N}_{e}=34$, much larger than systems previously studied. Based on a finite-size scaling analysis, we demonstrate that the entanglement gap defined by Li and Haldane [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 010504 (2008)] is finite in the thermodynamic limit, which characterizes the topological order of the fractional quantum Hall effect state.

Matrix-Product-State Algorithm for Finite Fractional Quantum Hall Systems

Zhao Liu, R N Bhatt

Exact diagonalization is a powerful tool to study fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems. However, its capability is limited by the exponentially increasing computational cost. In order to overcome this difficulty, density-matrix-renormalization-group (DMRG) algorithms were developed for much larger system sizes. Very recently, it was realized that some model FQH states have exact matrix-product-state (MPS) representation. Motivated by this, here we report a MPS code, which is closely related to, but different from traditional DMRG language, for finite FQH systems on the cylinder geometry. By representing the many-body Hamiltonian as a matrix-product-operator (MPO) and using single-site update and density matrix correction, we show that our code can efficiently search the ground state of various FQH systems. We also compare the performance of our code with traditional DMRG. The possible generalization of our code to infinite FQH systems and other physical systems is also discussed.

Quantum Hall Systems Studied by the Density Matrix Renormalization Group Method

Naokazu Shibata

The ground-state and low-energy excitations of quantum Hall systems are studied by the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. From the ground-state pair correlation functions and low-energy excitions, the ground-state phase diagram is determined, which consists of incompressible liquid states, Fermi liquid type compressible liquid states, and many kinds of CDW states called stripe, bubble and Wigner crystal. The spin transition and the domain formation are studied at ν= 2/3. The evolution from composite fermion liquid state to an excitonic state in bilayer systems is investigated at total filling factor ν= 1.

Density matrix renormalization group study of the ν=1/3 edge states in fractional quantum Hall systems

Takuya Ito, Naokazu Shibata

The edge states in the fractional quantum Hall systems at filling factor $\ensuremath{\nu}=1/3$ are studied by the density matrix renormalization group method. It is shown that the density oscillation induced by the local boundary condition at the edge is characterized by the wave number of the minimum magnetoroton excitation, and this structure is partially reconstructed with the change in the confinement potential shape. In particular, the $\ensuremath{\nu}=1$ counterpropagating edge channel appears with the change in the chemical potential, which is consistent with recent experiments on heat transport. The stability of the bulk states against the change in the number of electrons confirms that the bulk part of the fractional quantum Hall state is incompressible, while the edge state is compressible.

Density-matrix renormalization-group method in momentum space

Tao Xiang

A momentum-space approach of the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) method is developed. Ground-state energies of the Hubbard model are evaluated using this method and compared with exact diagonalization as well as quantum Monte Carlo results. It is shown that the momentum-space DMRG is a very useful numerical tool for studying the Hubbard model and other fundamental models of interacting electrons in two dimensions. For the Hubbard model in two dimensions, the momentum-space DMRG method reproduces accurately the exact diagonalization results of ground-state energies on a 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 lattice and yields new upper bounds of ground-state energies on an 8\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}8 lattice.

Density matrix renormalization group for bosonic quantum Hall effect

Dmitry L. Kovrizhin

We developed a density matrix renormalization group technique to study quantum Hall fractions of fast rotating bosons. In this paper, we present a discussion of the method together with the results which we obtain in three distinct cases of the narrow-channel, cylinder, and spherical geometries. In the narrow-channel case, which is relevant to anisotropic confining traps in the limit of extremely fast rotation, we find a series of zero-temperature phase transitions in the strongly interacting regime as a function of the interaction strength between bosons. We compute energies and density profiles for different filling fractions on a cylinder and compare the convergence rates of the method in the cylinder and a sphere geometries.
