New variational method for quasi-one-dimensional spin problems

V. Ya. Krivnov, А. А. Овчинников

A new variational method for determining the ground-state energy of quasi-1D systems is proposed. The method consists of decomposition of a lattice into non-interacting blocks. A trial wavefunction is the product of exact ground-state block functions multiplied by operator correlation factors. The ground-state energy of a spin-1/2 and fermionic particle ladder is evaluated. The calculation is very simple and gives energies with an accuracy of about 2% or even less.

Ground-state energy of charged quantum fluids in two dimensions

Hock-Kee Sim, R. Tao, Fa Yueh Wu

The ground state of a two-dimensional charged quantum system is studied using the method of correlated-basis functions. For particles obeying the Bose-Einstein statistics we compute the ground-state energy variationally for all particle densities using the Bijl-Dingle-Jastrow trial wave function. The Bose ground-state energy and wave function so determined are used next to study the Fermi system. We compute the Fermi ground-state energy using a cluster expansion approach, which is again valid for all particle densities, and find that the ground state is paramagnetic. While these calculations provide variational upper bounds to the ground-state energies, we also establish independent lower bounds to the ground-state energies.

A variational approach to ground state energy estimation in relativistic quantum systems

Felan Amal, O Arundathi, Tavarekere Shivalingaswamy

The variational method in quantum mechanics plays a crucial role in estimating upper bound values of eigenenergies, particularly in the efficient determination of ground state energies. This paper introduces a formalism for the calculation of ground state energies in relativistic quantum systems employing the variational method. The proposed approach is applied to specific physical systems, allowing us to evaluate its effectiveness. Furthermore, we compare the results obtained through this method with existing literature, shedding light on its accuracy and applicability in the context of relativistic quantum systems.
