Abstract

We propose a fast multi-orbital impurity solver for dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). Our DMFT solver is based on the equations of motion (EOMs) for local Green's functions and is constructed by generalizing from the single-orbital case to the multi-orbital case with the inclusion of the inter-orbital hybridizations and applying a mean field approximation to the inter-orbital Coulomb interactions. The two-orbital Hubbard model is studied using this impurity solver within a large range of parameters. The Mott metal-insulator transition and the quasiparticle peak are well described. A comparison of the EOM method with the quantum Monte Carlo method is made for the two-orbital Hubbard model and good agreement is obtained. The developed method hence holds promise as a fast DMFT impurity solver in studies of strongly correlated systems.

An advanced multi-orbital impurity solver for dynamical mean field theory based on the equation of motion approach

Qingguo Feng, P. M. Oppeneer

We propose an improved fast multi-orbital impurity solver for the dynamical mean field theory based on equations of motion (EOM) for Green's functions and a decoupling scheme. In this scheme the inter-orbital Coulomb interactions are treated fully self-consistently, and involve the inter-orbital fluctuations. As an example of the use of the derived multi-orbital impurity solver, the two-orbital Hubbard model is studied for various cases. Comparisons are made between numerical results obtained with our EOM scheme and those obtained with quantum Monte Carlo and numerical renormalization group methods. The comparison shows a good agreement, but also reveals a dissimilarity of the behaviors of the densities of states which is caused by inter-site inter-orbital hopping effects and on-site inter-orbital fluctuation effects, thus corroborating the assertion of the value of the EOM method for the study of multi-orbital strongly correlated systems.

Fast impurity solver based on equations of motion and decoupling

Qingguo Feng, Yu‐Zhong Zhang, Harald O. Jeschke

In this paper a fast impurity solver is proposed for dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) based on a decoupling of the equations of motion for the impurity Green's function. The resulting integral equations are solved efficiently with a method based on genetic algorithms. The Hubbard and periodic Anderson models are studied with this impurity solver. The method describes the Mott metal-insulator transition and works for a large range of parameters at finite temperature on the real frequency axis. This makes it useful for the exploration of real materials in the framework of local-density $\text{approximation}+\text{DMFT}$.

Strong-coupling solver for the quantum impurity model

Xi Dai, Kristjan Haule, Gabriel Kotliar

We propose a fast impurity solver for the general quantum impurity model based on the perturbation theory around the atomic limit, which can be used in combination with the local density approximation (LDA) and the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). We benchmark the solver in the two-band Hubbard model within DMFT against quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) and numerical renormalization-group (NRG) results. We find that the solver works very well in the paramagnetic Mott insulator phase. We also apply this impurity solver to the DMFT study of the antiferromagnetic phase transition in the unfrustrated Bethe lattice. The Neel temperature obtained by the fast impurity solver agrees very well with the QMC results in the large Hubbard U limit. The method is a promising tool to be used in combination with the $\mathrm{LDA}+\mathrm{DMFT}$ to study Mott insulators starting from first principles.

Fast impurity solver for dynamical mean field theory based on second order perturbation around the atomic limit

Zhuang Jia-Ning, Liu Qing-Mei, Fang Zhong +1 more

This paper proposes an impurity solver for the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) study of the Mott insulators, which is based on the second order perturbation of the hybridization function. After careful benchmarking with quantum Monte Carlo results on the anti-ferromagnetic phase of the Hubbard model, it concludes that this impurity solver can capture the main physical features in the strong coupling regime and can be a very useful tool for the LDA (local density approximation) + DMFT studies of the Mott insulators with long range order.

Hierarchical equations of motion for an impurity solver in dynamical mean-field theory

Dong Hou, Rulin Wang, Xiao Hong Zheng +3 more

A nonperturbative quantum impurity solver is proposed based on a formally exact hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) formalism for open quantum systems. It leads to quantitatively accurate evaluation of physical properties of strongly correlated electronic systems, in the framework of dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The HEOM method is also numerically convenient to achieve the same level of accuracy as that using the state-of-the-art numerical renormalization group impurity solver at finite temperatures. The practicality of the HEOM+DMFT method is demonstrated by its applications to the Hubbard models with Bethe and hypercubic lattice structures. We investigate the metal-insulator transition phenomena, and address the effects of temperature on the properties of strongly correlated lattice systems.

Hubb_DMFT and Wan2mb_DMFT: Continuous-Time Quantum Monte Carlo Solvers for Single- and Multi-Orbital Hubbard Model

A. A. Katanin

We present two related customized software packages, Hubb_DMFT and Wan2mb_DMFT, designed to solve the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) equations for strongly correlated electron systems. Hubb_DMFT is adjusted for the single-band Hubbard model, providing a fast way to calculate the local self-energy, as well as the two-particle fermion and triangular fermion-boson charge and spin vertices, while Wan2mb_DMFT extends this capability to realistic multi-orbital systems, directly interfacing Wannier tight-binding Hamiltonians with many-body solvers. Both codes are based on iQIST v.0.7 impurity solver and utilize a modified and internally integrated Continuous-Time Quantum Monte Carlo (CT-QMC) core with the hybridization expansion (CT-HYB) framework and improved self-energy and vertex estimators for density-density interaction, ensuring numerically exact solutions for quantum impurity problems.
