Comparison between GW and Wave-Function-Based Approaches: Calculating the Ionization Potential and Electron Affinity for 1D Hubbard Chains

Qi Ou, Joseph Eli Subotnik

We calculate the ionization potential and electron affinity of 1D Hubbard chains with a variety of different site energies from two perspectives: (i) the physics-based GW approximation and (ii) the chemistry-based configuration interaction (CI) approach. Results obtained from all methods are compared against the exact values for three classes of systems: metallic, impurity doped, and molecular (semiconducting/insulating) systems. Although all methods are reasonably accurate for weakly correlated systems, the GW method is significantly more reliable for strongly correlated systems with little disorder unless explicit double excitations are included in the CI. In principle, our results should offer some intuition about the choice of methodologies as well as state references for different classes of physical systems.

Comparison between the Bethe–Salpeter Equation and Configuration Interaction Approaches for Solving a Quantum Chemistry Problem: Calculating the Excitation Energy for Finite 1D Hubbard Chains

Qi Ou, Joseph Eli Subotnik

We calculate the excitation energies of finite 1D Hubbard chains with a variety of different site energies from two perspectives: (i) the physics-based Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) method and (ii) the chemistry-based configuration interaction (CI) approach. Results obtained from all methods are compared against the exact values for three classes of systems: metallic, impurity-doped, and molecular (semiconducting/insulating) systems. While in a previous study we showed that the GW method holds comparative advantages versus traditional quantum chemistry approaches for calculating the ionization potentials and electron affinities across a large range of Hamiltonians, we show now that the BSE method outperforms CI approaches only for metallic and semiconducting systems. For insulating molecular systems, CI approaches generate better results.
