Variational Monte-Carlo Studies of Hubbard Model. I

Abstract

A variational Monte-Carlo method, which is a combination of the variational theory and the Monte-Carlo technique is proposed to study the Hubbard model with the Gutzwiller's wave function. An application is made to one-, two-, and three-dimensional models having sites up to 216 (6×6×6) and arbitrary values of U / t (on-site repulsion U and hopping integral t ). Contrary to resorting to the Gutzwiller approximation, it provides a virtually exact way to carry out the Gutzwiller-type variational theory and opens up a possibility of further development.

Variational Monte-Carlo Studies of Hubbard Model. II

Hisatoshi Yokoyama, Hiroyuki Shiba

As a continuation of a previous paper [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 56 (1987) 1490], the variational Monte-Carlo method is extended to include the antiferromagnetic long-range order. The theory is based on the Gutzwiller-type correlation factor and its effect is exactly taken into account by the Monte-Carlo procedure. An application is made to the half-filled-band case of one-dimensional lattice (50 sites), two-dimensional square lattice (up to 20×20 sites) and three-dimensional simple cubic lattice (6×6×6 sites). The result is qualitatively different from previous studies relying on the random-phase-type "Gutzwiller approximation." The variational energy for two and three dimensions is favorably compared with Hirsch's quantum Monte-Carlo data.

Gutzwiller wave function in the three-band Hubbard model: A variational Monte Carlo study

Akira Oguri, Tetsuro Asahata, Sadamichi Maekawa

The Gutzwiller wave function for the three-band Hubbard model on a two-dimensional ${\mathrm{CuO}}_{2}$ plane is studied by using the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method in the limit ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}, where ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$ is the Coulomb repulsion between holes on a Cu site. The VMC results for the energy and the fraction of d holes are compared with those of the Rice-Ueda type Gutzwiller approximation (GA). The difference between the VMC and the GA results are most pronounced at half-filling, and away from half-filling the two results agree well in both the hole-doped and the electron-doped cases. The doping dependence of the momentum distribution function is also studied.

Stochastic gradient approximation method applied to Hubbard model

Ari Harju

The two-dimensional Hubbard model is studied using the variational quantum Monte Carlo technique with Gutzwiller-type variational wave functions. In addition to the simple one-site correlated Gutzwiller wave function, we use a form with correlation between electrons on nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor sites. We show that the stochastic gradient approximation method suits very well for the optimization of the free parameters of the variational wave functions.

Study of the accuracy of the Gutzwiller wave function for the two-dimensional Hubbard model

X. Q. Hong, J. E. Hirsch

We use a variational Monte Carlo method (VMC) and a quantum Monte Carlo method to study the two-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model. We use the Gutzwiller wave function as a trial wave function in VMC and measure energy, correlation functions, and momentum distribution for lattices up to 12\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}12 sites. We then use a Monte Carlo algorithm to study the Hubbard model with the same boundary conditions as in VMC at very low temperatures. By comparing the results from these two methods, we assess the accuracy of the Gutzwiller wave function as a representation of the ground state of the Hubbard model. Major differences are found, implying that the Gutzwiller wave function is not a useful approximation to the ground state of the Hubbard model in two dimensions.

Off-Diagonal Wave Function Monte Carlo Studies of Hubbard Model I

Takashi Yanagisawa, Soh Koike, Yamaji K.

We propose a Monte Carlo method, which is a hybrid method of the quantum Monte Carlo method and variational Monte Carlo theory, to study the Hubbard model. The theory is based on the off-diagonal and the Gutzwiller type correlation factors which are taken into account by a Monte Carlo algorithm. In the 4x4 system our method is able to reproduce the exact results obtained by the diagonalization. An application is given to investigate the half-filled band case of two-dimensional square lattice. The energy is favorably compared with quantum Monte Carlo data.

Off-Diagonal Wave Functions and Superconductivity in the Variational Monte Carlo Calculations.

Takashi Yanagisawa, Takeshi Nakanishi, Soh Koike +1 more

We investigate the two-dimensional Hubbard model by the variational Monte Carlo method. We consider off-diagonal wave functions where we improve the Gutzwiller wave function by multiplying off-diagonal factors. In the 4×4 system, we compare our results with the exact diagonalization. The variational energies are fairly close to the exact values. We show the results for the 10×10 Hubbard model.
