Correlation Induced Optimization of Wave Functions: the Hubbard Chain
Józef Spałek, Robert Podsiadły, W. Wójcik
We determine the explicit form of the single-particle Wannier functions {wi(r)} appearing in the parameters of quantum models.The method is illustrated on the example of the Hubbard chain, for which we derive the renormalized wave equation starting from a variational principle and by treating the system ground state energy as a functional of {wi(r)} and their derivatives.In this manner, the optimized basis is obtained only after the electronic correlations have been included in the rigorous Lieb-Wu solution.The results for the ground state energy and the size of the renormalized s-type orbitals, both as a function of interatomic distance, are calculated explicitly.
