Thermal pure quantum states of many-particle systems

Masahiko Hyuga, Sho Sugiura, Kazumitsu Sakai +1 more

We generalize the thermal pure quantum (TPQ) formulation of statistical mechanics, in such a way that it is applicable to systems whose Hilbert space is infinite dimensional. Assuming particle systems, we construct the grand-canonical TPQ (gTPQ) state, which is the counterpart of the grand-canonical Gibbs state of the ensemble formulation. A single realization of the gTPQ state gives all quantities of statistical-mechanical interest, with exponentially small probability of error. This formulation not only sheds new light on quantum statistical mechanics but also is useful for practical computations. As an illustration, we apply it to the Hubbard model, on a one-dimensional (1D) chain and on a two-dimensional (2D) triangular lattice. For the 1D chain, our results agree well with the exact solutions over wide ranges of temperature, chemical potential, and the on-site interaction. For the 2D triangular lattice, for which exact results are unknown, we obtain reliable results over a wide range of temperature. We also find that finite-size effects are much smaller in the gTPQ state than in the canonical TPQ state. This also shows that in the ensemble formulation the grand-canonical Gibbs state of a finite-size system simulates an infinite system much better than the canonical Gibbs state.

Chapter 2

Second Quantization

In this chapter we introduce the many-body Hamiltonian for the N -electron system and rewrite it in terms of annihilation and creation operators. This rewriting is called second quantization. We introduce the canonical and the grand canonical ensemble which is the framework in which quantum statistical mechanics has to be formulated. By considering the ideal Fermi gas, we try to motivate that the grand canonical ensemble may be more practical for computations than the canonical ensemble.

Grand-canonical-ensemble representability problem for the one-electron reduced density matrix

Diego R. Alcoba, Roberto C. Bochicchio, G. E. Massacessi +2 more

We deal with many-electron systems having a noninteger number of electrons, which cannot be described properly by means of pure states or by canonical statistical ensemble states. The study of the one-electron reduced density matrix for these systems raises the problem of its representability in statistical ensembles of grand canonical type. We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the representability of the one-electron reduced density matrix of grand-canonical statistical ensembles.
