Possible spin liquid state in the spin 1/2 J1-J2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on square lattice: A tensor product state approach

We study the spin 1/2 J1-J2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on square lattice by using a recently proposed cluster update method for tensor product states (TPSs). The ground state energies in the thermodynamic limit are in good agreement with the state of art exact diagonalization study, and the energy differences between these two studies are of the order of 10J1 per site. For small bond dimension D (D < 5), we find a paramagnetic ground state with mixed columnar and staggered dimer orders of a magnitude 10−2 in the range of 0.47 < J2/J1 < 0.6, which agrees with previous results. For large bond dimension D (D ≥ 5), we observe all these orders vanish, implying the emergence of a spin liquid phase.
