Abstract

Recently Wang and Cheng proposed a self-consistent effective Hamiltonian theory (SCEHT) for many-body fermionic systems (Wang & Cheng, 2019). This paper attempts to provide a mathematical foundation to the formulation of the SCEHT that enables further study of excited states of the system in a more systematic and theoretical manner. Gauge fields are introduced and correct total energy functional in relations to the coupling gauge field is given. We also provides a Monte-Carlo numerical scheme for the search of the ground state that goes beyond the SCEHT.

Solving Anderson Impurity Model by the Effective Hamiltonian Theory

Xindong Wang, Guanzhi Li, X.-G. Zhang

We apply the Self-Consistent Effective Hamiltonian Theory (SCEHT), which uses a general variational Fermionic many-body wave function to generate an effective Hamiltonian in a quadratic form, to the Anderson impurity model. The chiral symmetry-breaking quadratic effective Hamiltonian is solved exactly for the single Fermion excitation spectrum. We validate the theory by numerically solving a model problem. The solution shows the correct Kondo resonance in the quasi-particle density of states.

MONTE CARLO HAMILTONIAN: GENERALIZATION TO QUANTUM FIELD THEORY

XIANG-QIAN LUO, HAMZA JIRARI, HELMUT KRÖGER +1 more

Monte Carlo techniques with importance sampling have been extensively applied to lattice gauge theory in the Lagrangian formulation. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to compute the excited states using the conventional Monte Carlo algorithm. Our recently developed approach: the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian method, has been designed to overcome the difficulties of the conventional approach. In this paper, we extend the method to many body systems and quantum field theory. The Klein-Gordon field theory is used as a testing ground.

Many-body Theory for Excited-states Process

Meichun Huang

The most of the experimental measurable quantities in many-body electron system, such as the optical absorption, luminescent spectra and exciton effect, are related to the excitation states description. The density functional theory with local density approximation (DFT-LDA) as a ground state theory, i.e. the solutions based on the Kohn-Sham equation is a powerful tool for studying the ground state properties in many-particle systems. However, the first principles computation of excited states is more complexity than ground-state calculations. A key problem is that the exchange-correlation interaction in excited states is differ from the ground-states. In recent years, nevertheless, several electronic-excitation theories have been developed. The most important theoretical and computational method include the many-body perturbation theory which is based on the quasi-particle concept and the Green function equation, the time-dependent DFT and the Bethe-Salpeter equation for describing the electron-hole interaction. Among them the central ingredient is an electron's self-energy operator Σ that describes the exchange correlation effect beyond Hartree approximation. The implementations of the above theories are unavoidable to introduce some of approximations. A good approximation for Σ is the GW approach by Hedin. It is shown from computation simulations for many real condensed matter systems that the GW approach is a successful method for electronic-excitation problems. Another effective method for excited-states is so-called screen-exchange local-density approximation (sX-LDA). It is a combination of LDA and Hartree-Fock (HF)theory, in which the intrinsic local screen-exchange interaction has been replaced by a non-local one and a generalized Kohn-Sham equation (GKS) is given. Based on a PWscf package, the sX-LDA-PWscf method has been tested and indicates that an available approach for treating band-gap problem in semiconductors. In this paper, the many-body theories for the excitation process, its development and signification are reviewed. The relation and differences consist in different theoretical methods are discussed. On the based of above discussions, the applications of many-body theory to the band-band transition (band-gap underestimation problem) and exciton effect in semiconductors are presented.

Self-consistent effective Hamiltonian theory for fermionic many-body systems

Xindong Wang, Hai‐Ping Cheng

Using a separable many-body variational wavefunction, we formulate a self-consistent effective Hamiltonian theory for fermionic many-body system. The theory is applied to the two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model as an example to demonstrate its capability and computational effectiveness. Most remarkably for the Hubbard model in 2D, a highly unconventional quadruple-fermion non-Cooper pair order parameter is discovered.

Exact Self-Consistent Effective Hamiltonian Theory

Xindong Wang, Chen, Xiao, Liqin Ke +2 more

We propose a general variational fermionic many-body wavefunction that generates an effective Hamiltonian in a quadratic form, which can then be exactly solved. The theory can be constructed within the density functional theory framework, and a self-consistent scheme is proposed for solving the exact density functional theory. We apply the theory to structurally-disordered systems, symmetric and asymmetric Hubbard dimers, and the corresponding lattice models. The single fermion excitation spectra show a persistent gap due to the fermionic-entanglement-induced pairing condensate. For disordered systems, the density of states at the edge of the gap diverges in the thermodynamic limit, suggesting a topologically ordered phase. A sharp resonance is predicted as the gap is not dependent on the temperature of the system. For the symmetric Hubbard model, the gap for both half-filling and doped case suggests that the quantum phase transition between the antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases is continuous.
